Returns arg as a String.
First tries to call its to_str method, then its to_s method.
String(self) #=> "main" String(self.class) #=> "Object" String(123456) #=> "123456"
Creates a subprocess. If a block is specified, that block is run in the subprocess, and the subprocess terminates with a status of zero. Otherwise, the fork call returns twice, once in the parent, returning the process ID of the child, and once in the child, returning nil. The child process can exit using Kernel.exit! to avoid running any at_exit functions. The parent process should use Process.wait to collect the termination statuses of its children or use Process.detach to register disinterest in their status; otherwise, the operating system may accumulate zombie processes.
The thread calling fork is the only thread in the created child process. fork doesn’t copy other threads.
If fork is not usable, Process.respond_to?(:fork) returns false.
Note that fork(2) is not available on some platforms like Windows and NetBSD 4. Therefore you should use spawn() instead of fork().
Executes command… in a subshell. command… is one of following forms.
commandline : command line string which is passed to the standard shell cmdname, arg1, ... : command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ... : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell)
system returns true if the command gives zero exit status, false for non zero exit status. Returns nil if command execution fails. An error status is available in $?. The arguments are processed in the same way as for Kernel.spawn.
The hash arguments, env and options, are same as exec and spawn. See Kernel.spawn for details.
system("echo *") system("echo", "*")
produces:
config.h main.rb *
See Kernel.exec for the standard shell.
Terminate execution immediately, effectively by calling Kernel.exit(false). If msg is given, it is written to STDERR prior to terminating.
Returns an array containing the items in enum.
(1..7).to_a #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] { 'a'=>1, 'b'=>2, 'c'=>3 }.to_a #=> [["a", 1], ["b", 2], ["c", 3]] require 'prime' Prime.entries 10 #=> [2, 3, 5, 7]
Returns the result of interpreting enum as a list of [key, value] pairs.
%i[hello world].each_with_index.to_h # => {:hello => 0, :world => 1}
Returns an array containing the items in enum sorted, either according to their own <=> method, or by using the results of the supplied block. The block should return -1, 0, or +1 depending on the comparison between a and b. As of Ruby 1.8, the method Enumerable#sort_by implements a built-in Schwartzian Transform, useful when key computation or comparison is expensive.
%w(rhea kea flea).sort #=> ["flea", "kea", "rhea"] (1..10).sort { |a, b| b <=> a } #=> [10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Returns an array of every element in enum for which Pattern === element. If the optional block is supplied, each matching element is passed to it, and the block’s result is stored in the output array.
(1..100).grep 38..44 #=> [38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44] c = IO.constants c.grep(/SEEK/) #=> [:SEEK_SET, :SEEK_CUR, :SEEK_END] res = c.grep(/SEEK/) { |v| IO.const_get(v) } res #=> [0, 1, 2]
Inverted version of Enumerable#grep. Returns an array of every element in enum for which not Pattern === element.
(1..10).grep_v 2..5 #=> [1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] res =(1..10).grep_v(2..5) { |v| v * 2 } res #=> [2, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
Returns an array for all elements of enum for which the given block returns false.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
(1..10).reject { |i| i % 3 == 0 } #=> [1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reject { |num| num.even? } #=> [1, 3, 5]
See also Enumerable#find_all.
Combines all elements of enum by applying a binary operation, specified by a block or a symbol that names a method or operator.
If you specify a block, then for each element in enum the block is passed an accumulator value (memo) and the element. If you specify a symbol instead, then each element in the collection will be passed to the named method of memo. In either case, the result becomes the new value for memo. At the end of the iteration, the final value of memo is the return value for the method.
If you do not explicitly specify an initial value for memo, then the first element of collection is used as the initial value of memo.
# Sum some numbers (5..10).reduce(:+) #=> 45 # Same using a block and inject (5..10).inject { |sum, n| sum + n } #=> 45 # Multiply some numbers (5..10).reduce(1, :*) #=> 151200 # Same using a block (5..10).inject(1) { |product, n| product * n } #=> 151200 # find the longest word longest = %w{ cat sheep bear }.inject do |memo, word| memo.length > word.length ? memo : word end longest #=> "sheep"
Returns the first element, or the first n elements, of the enumerable. If the enumerable is empty, the first form returns nil, and the second form returns an empty array.
%w[foo bar baz].first #=> "foo" %w[foo bar baz].first(2) #=> ["foo", "bar"] %w[foo bar baz].first(10) #=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"] [].first #=> nil [].first(10) #=> []
Enables coverage measurement.
Returns a hash that contains filename as key and coverage array as value and disables coverage measurement.
Resets the process of reading the /etc/group file, so that the next call to ::getgrent will return the first entry again.
Ends the process of scanning through the /etc/group file begun by ::getgrent, and closes the file.
Returns an entry from the /etc/group file.
The first time it is called it opens the file and returns the first entry; each successive call returns the next entry, or nil if the end of the file has been reached.
To close the file when processing is complete, call ::endgrent.
Each entry is returned as a Group struct
Returns system temporary directory; typically “/tmp”.
Returns system configuration variable using confstr().
name should be a constant under Etc which begins with CS_.
The return value is a string or nil. nil means no configuration-defined value. (confstr() returns 0 but errno is not set.)
Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_PATH) #=> "/bin:/usr/bin" # GNU/Linux Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION) #=> "glibc 2.18" Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION) #=> "NPTL 2.18"
Returns the number of online processors.
The result is intended as the number of processes to use all available processors.
This method is implemented using:
sched_getaffinity(): Linux
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN): GNU/Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana, Mac OS X, AIX
Example:
require 'etc' p Etc.nprocessors #=> 4
The result might be smaller number than physical cpus especially when ruby process is bound to specific cpus. This is intended for getting better parallel processing.
Example: (Linux)
linux$ taskset 0x3 ./ruby -retc -e "p Etc.nprocessors" #=> 2
Change the size of the memory allocated at the memory location addr to size bytes. Returns the memory address of the reallocated memory, which may be different than the address passed in.
Free the memory at address addr
