Returns true if the given string (or symbol) exists as a thread-local variable.
me = Thread.current me.thread_variable_set(:oliver, "a") me.thread_variable?(:oliver) #=> true me.thread_variable?(:stanley) #=> false
Note that these are not fiber local variables. Please see Thread#[] and Thread#thread_variable_get for more details.
Returns the execution stack for the target thread—an array containing backtrace location objects.
See Thread::Backtrace::Location for more information.
This method behaves similarly to Kernel#caller_locations except it applies to a specific thread.
Returns the original name of the method.
Returns the original name of the method.
Returns the names of the binding’s local variables as symbols.
def foo a = 1 2.times do |n| binding.local_variables #=> [:a, :n] end end
This method is the short version of the following code:
binding.eval("local_variables")
Returns an array of the names of global variables.
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Controls tracing of assignments to global variables. The parameter symbol identifies the variable (as either a string name or a symbol identifier). cmd (which may be a string or a Proc object) or block is executed whenever the variable is assigned. The block or Proc object receives the variable’s new value as a parameter. Also see Kernel::untrace_var.
trace_var :$_, proc {|v| puts "$_ is now '#{v}'" } $_ = "hello" $_ = ' there'
produces:
$_ is now 'hello' $_ is now ' there'
Removes tracing for the specified command on the given global variable and returns nil. If no command is specified, removes all tracing for that variable and returns an array containing the commands actually removed.
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
Calls block once for each element in self, passing that element as a parameter, converting multiple values from yield to an array.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
class Foo include Enumerable def each yield 1 yield 1, 2 yield end end Foo.new.each_entry{ |o| p o }
produces:
1 [1, 2] nil
Returns the last Error of the current executing Thread or nil if none
Sets the last Error of the current executing Thread to error
Generate a JSON document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. This method disables the checks for circles in Ruby objects.
WARNING: Be careful not to pass any Ruby data structures with circles as obj argument because this will cause JSON to go into an infinite loop.
Turns FIPS mode on or off. Turning on FIPS mode will obviously only have an effect for FIPS-capable installations of the OpenSSL library. Trying to do so otherwise will result in an error.
OpenSSL.fips_mode = true # turn FIPS mode on OpenSSL.fips_mode = false # and off again
Returns true if the named file is writable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3)
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Start a dRuby server locally.
The new dRuby server will become the primary server, even if another server is currently the primary server.
uri is the URI for the server to bind to. If nil, the server will bind to random port on the default local host name and use the default dRuby protocol.
front is the server’s front object. This may be nil.
config is the configuration for the new server. This may be nil.
See DRbServer::new.

Stop the local dRuby server.
This operates on the primary server. If there is no primary server currently running, it is a noop.

Registers server with DRb.
This is called when a new DRb::DRbServer is created.
If there is no primary server then server becomes the primary server.
Example:
require 'drb' s = DRb::DRbServer.new # automatically calls regist_server DRb.fetch_server s.uri #=> #<DRb::DRbServer:0x...>

Copies a file system entry src to dest. If src is a directory, this method copies its contents recursively. This method preserves file types, c.f. symlink, directory… (FIFO, device files and etc. are not supported yet)
Both of src and dest must be a path name. src must exist, dest must not exist.
If preserve is true, this method preserves owner, group, and modified time. Permissions are copied regardless preserve.
If dereference_root is true, this method dereference tree root.
If remove_destination is true, this method removes each destination file before copy.
