Called by the TupleSpace
to check if the object is still alive.
Reset the expiry time according to sec_or_renewer
.
nil
it is set to expire in the far future.
true
it has expired.
Numeric
it will expire in that many seconds.
Otherwise the argument refers to some kind of renewer object which will reset its expiry time.
Ensure path
and path with extension
are identical.
Checks if URI
has a path
Set
all the parameters.
Returns the fractional part of the day.
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,12).day_fraction #=> (1/2)
This method is equivalent to d + n.
This method is equivalent to d >> (n * 12)
Returns the size of arguments of the method.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs') puts method.size_params # => 11
Returns library name. If the method fails to access library name, WIN32OLERuntimeError
is raised.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') tlib.library_name # => Excel
This method is a shortcut for converting a single line of a CSV
String into an Array. Note that if line
contains multiple rows, anything beyond the first row is ignored.
The options
parameter can be anything CSV::new()
understands.
Stores the indicated separators for later use.
If auto-discovery was requested for @row_sep
, this method will read ahead in the @io
and try to find one. ARGF
, STDIN
, STDOUT
, STDERR
and any stream open for output only with a default @row_sep
of $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
($/
).
This method also establishes the quoting rules used for CSV
output.
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.
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.
Generate a JSON
document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. The returned document is a prettier form of the document returned by unparse.
The opts argument can be used to configure the generator. See the generate method for a more detailed explanation.
Returns garbage collector generation for the given object
.
class B include ObjectSpace def foo trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "Generation is #{allocation_generation(obj)}" end end end B.new.foo #=> "Generation is 3"
See ::trace_object_allocations
for more information and examples.
Returns whether or not the given entry point func
can be found within lib
. If func
is nil
, the main()
entry point is used by default. If found, it adds the library to list of libraries to be used when linking your extension.
If headers
are provided, it will include those header files as the header files it looks in when searching for func
.
The real name of the library to be linked can be altered by --with-FOOlib
configuration option.
Returns whether or not the entry point func
can be found within the library lib
in one of the paths
specified, where paths
is an array of strings. If func
is nil
, then the main()
function is used as the entry point.
If lib
is found, then the path it was found on is added to the list of library paths searched and linked against.
Returns whether or not the given framework
can be found on your system. If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the framework name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_FRAMEWORK_
.
For example, if have_framework('Ruby')
returned true, then the HAVE_FRAMEWORK_RUBY
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
If fw
is a pair of the framework name and its header file name that header file is checked, instead of the normally used header file which is named same as the framework.
Returns the signedness of the given type
. You may optionally specify additional headers
to search in for the type
.
If the type
is found and is a numeric type, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type
name, in uppercase, prepended with SIGNEDNESS_OF_
, followed by the type
name, followed by =X
where “X” is positive integer if the type
is unsigned and a negative integer if the type
is signed.
For example, if size_t
is defined as unsigned, then check_signedness('size_t')
would return +1 and the SIGNEDNESS_OF_SIZE_T=+1
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler. The SIGNEDNESS_OF_INT=-1
macro would be set for check_signedness('int')
Open3.pipeline_start
starts a list of commands as a pipeline. No pipes are created for stdin of the first command and stdout of the last command.
Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts]) {|wait_threads| ... } wait_threads = Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts]) ...
Each cmd is a string or an array. If it is an array, the elements are passed to Process.spawn
.
cmd: commandline command line string which is passed to a shell [env, commandline, opts] command line string which is passed to a shell [env, cmdname, arg1, ..., opts] command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [env, [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ..., opts] command name and arguments including argv[0] (no shell) Note that env and opts are optional, as for Process.spawn.
Example:
# Run xeyes in 10 seconds. Open3.pipeline_start("xeyes") {|ts| sleep 10 t = ts[0] Process.kill("TERM", t.pid) p t.value #=> #<Process::Status: pid 911 SIGTERM (signal 15)> } # Convert pdf to ps and send it to a printer. # Collect error message of pdftops and lpr. pdf_file = "paper.pdf" printer = "printer-name" err_r, err_w = IO.pipe Open3.pipeline_start(["pdftops", pdf_file, "-"], ["lpr", "-P#{printer}"], :err=>err_w) {|ts| err_w.close p err_r.read # error messages of pdftops and lpr. }
