This data may subsequently be read and the original ;TI"objects reconstituted.;To:RDoc::Markup::BlankLine�o;	;[
I"EMarshaled data has major and minor version numbers stored along ;TI"Ewith the object information. In normal use, marshaling can only ;TI"Gload data written with the same major version number and an equal ;TI"For lower minor version number. If Ruby's ``verbose'' flag is set ;TI"C(normally using -d, -v, -w, or --verbose) the major and minor ;TI"Fnumbers must match exactly. Marshal versioning is independent of ;TI"HRuby's version numbers. You can extract the version by reading the ;TI"'first two bytes of marshaled data.;T@o:RDoc::Markup::Verbatim;[	I"!str = Marshal.dump("thing")

leveli:	textI"Security considerations;T@o;	;[I"NBy design, Marshal.load can deserialize almost any class loaded into the ;TI"ORuby process. In many cases this can lead to remote code execution if the ;TI"5Marshal data is loaded from an untrusted source.;T@o;	;[I"RAs a result, Marshal.load is not suitable as a general purpose serialization ;TI"Rformat and you should never unmarshal user supplied input or other untrusted ;TI"
data.;T@o;	;[	I"RIf you need to deserialize untrusted data, use JSON or another serialization ;TI"Pformat that is only able to load simple, 'primitive' types such as String, ;TI"LArray, Hash, etc. Never allow user input to specify arbitrary types to ;TI"deserialize into.;T@S;
;i;I""marshal_dump and marshal_load;T@o;	;[I"DWhen dumping an object the method marshal_dump will be called. ;TI"Pmarshal_dump must return a result containing the information necessary for ;TI"Lmarshal_load to reconstitute the object.  The result can be any object.;T@o;	;[I"JWhen loading an object dumped using marshal_dump the object is first ;TI"Nallocated then marshal_load is called with the result from marshal_dump. ;TI"Nmarshal_load must recreate the object from the information in the result.;T@o;	;[I"
Example:;T@o;;[I"class MyObj
;TI"*  def initialize name, version, data

Example:;T@o;;[I"class MyObj
