Basically the same as ::new. However, if class Thread is subclassed, then calling start in that subclass will not invoke the subclass’s initialize method.
Returns the priority of thr. Default is inherited from the current thread which creating the new thread, or zero for the initial main thread; higher-priority thread will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).
This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.
Thread.current.priority #=> 0
Sets the priority of thr to integer. Higher-priority threads will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).

count1 = count2 = 0 a = Thread.new do loop { count1 += 1 } end a.priority = -1 b = Thread.new do loop { count2 += 1 } end b.priority = -2 sleep 1 #=> 1 count1 #=> 622504 count2 #=> 5832
Returns the number of mandatory arguments. If the block is declared to take no arguments, returns 0. If the block is known to take exactly n arguments, returns n. If the block has optional arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of mandatory arguments, with the exception for blocks that are not lambdas and have only a finite number of optional arguments; in this latter case, returns n. Keywords arguments will considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. A proc with no argument declarations is the same as a block declaring || as its arguments.
proc {}.arity #=> 0 proc { || }.arity #=> 0 proc { |a| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |a, b| }.arity #=> 2 proc { |a, b, c| }.arity #=> 3 proc { |*a| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, *b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, *b, c| }.arity #=> -3 proc { |x:, y:, z:0| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |*a, x:, y:0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |x=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |x=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |x=0, y| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |x=0, y| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |x=0, y=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |x=0, y=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |x, y=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |x, y=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |(x, y), z=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |(x, y), z=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> -2
Returns the parameter information of this proc.
prc = lambda{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters #=> [[:req, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]]
Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.
class C def one; end def two(a); end def three(*a); end def four(a, b); end def five(a, b, *c); end def six(a, b, *c, &d); end end c = C.new c.method(:one).arity #=> 0 c.method(:two).arity #=> 1 c.method(:three).arity #=> -1 c.method(:four).arity #=> 2 c.method(:five).arity #=> -3 c.method(:six).arity #=> -3 "cat".method(:size).arity #=> 0 "cat".method(:replace).arity #=> 1 "cat".method(:squeeze).arity #=> -1 "cat".method(:count).arity #=> -1
Returns the parameter information of this method.

Enables coverage measurement.
Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it.
opts can have the following keys:
max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Disable depth checking with :max_nesting => false. It defaults to 100.
allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 4627 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to false.
symbolize_names: If set to true, returns symbols for the names (keys) in a JSON object. Otherwise strings are returned. Strings are the default.
create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matching class and create_id was found. This option defaults to false.
object_class: Defaults to Hash
array_class: Defaults to Array
Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it. The bang version of the parse method defaults to the more dangerous values for the opts hash, so be sure only to parse trusted source documents.
opts can have the following keys:
max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Enable depth checking with :max_nesting => anInteger. The parse! methods defaults to not doing max depth checking: This can be dangerous if someone wants to fill up your stack.
allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 4627 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to true.
create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matching class and create_id was found. This option defaults to false.
Parse a YAML string in yaml. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Document. filename is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError is raised.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.
Example:
Psych.parse("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00> begin Psych.parse("--- `", "file.txt") rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex ex.file # => 'file.txt' ex.message # => "(file.txt): found character that cannot start any token" end
See Psych::Nodes for more information about YAML AST.
Returns a default parser
Returns true if the named file has the sticky bit set.
Returns true if the named files are identical.
file_1 and file_2 can be an IO object.
open("a", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "a") #=> true p File.identical?("a", "./a") #=> true File.link("a", "b") p File.identical?("a", "b") #=> true File.symlink("a", "c") p File.identical?("a", "c") #=> true open("d", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "d") #=> false
Initiates garbage collection, unless manually disabled.
This method is defined with keyword arguments that default to true:
def GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true); end
Use full_mark: false to perform a minor GC. Use immediate_sweep: false to defer sweeping (use lazy sweep).
Note: These keyword arguments are implementation and version dependent. They are not guaranteed to be future-compatible, and may be ignored if the underlying implementation does not support them.
Returns the elapsed real time used to execute the given block.
Returns the elapsed real time used to execute the given block.
URI::parse(uri_str)
uri_str
String with URI.
Creates one of the URI’s subclasses instance from the string.
Raised if URI given is not a correct one.
require 'uri' uri = URI.parse("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") p uri # => #<URI::HTTP:0x202281be URL:http://www.ruby-lang.org/> p uri.scheme # => "http" p uri.host # => "www.ruby-lang.org"
It’s recommended to first ::escape the provided uri_str if there are any invalid URI characters.
Prints the amount of time the supplied block takes to run using the debug UI output.
Perform an operation in a block, raising an error if it takes longer than sec seconds to complete.
sec
Number of seconds to wait for the block to terminate. Any number may be used, including Floats to specify fractional seconds. A value of 0 or nil will execute the block without any timeout.
klass
Exception Class to raise if the block fails to terminate in sec seconds. Omitting will use the default, Timeout::Error
Returns the result of the block if the block completed before sec seconds, otherwise throws an exception, based on the value of klass.
The exception thrown to terminate the given block cannot be rescued inside the block unless klass is given explicitly.
Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can include Timeout into your classes so they have a timeout method, as well as a module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().
