Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Removes the named instance variable from obj, returning that variable’s value.
class Dummy attr_reader :var def initialize @var = 99 end def remove remove_instance_variable(:@var) end end d = Dummy.new d.var #=> 99 d.remove #=> 99 d.var #=> nil
Defines a singleton method in the receiver. The method parameter can be a Proc
, a Method
or an UnboundMethod
object. If a block is specified, it is used as the method body.
class A class << self def class_name to_s end end end A.define_singleton_method(:who_am_i) do "I am: #{class_name}" end A.who_am_i # ==> "I am: A" guy = "Bob" guy.define_singleton_method(:hello) { "#{self}: Hello there!" } guy.hello #=> "Bob: Hello there!"
DO NOT USE THIS DIRECTLY.
Hook method to return whether the obj can respond to id method or not.
When the method name parameter is given as a string, the string is converted to a symbol.
See respond_to?
, and the example of BasicObject
.
Removes the definition of the sym, returning that constant’s value.
class Dummy @@var = 99 puts @@var remove_class_variable(:@@var) p(defined? @@var) end
produces:
99 nil
Returns the value of the given class variable (or throws a NameError
exception). The @@
part of the variable name should be included for regular class variables. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_get(:@@foo) #=> 99
Sets the class variable named by symbol to the given object. If the class variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred @@foo = 99 def foo @@foo end end Fred.class_variable_set(:@@foo, 101) #=> 101 Fred.new.foo #=> 101
Returns true
if the given class variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@foo) #=> true Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@bar) #=> false
Returns true
if ios will be closed on exec.
f = open("/dev/null") f.close_on_exec? #=> false f.close_on_exec = true f.close_on_exec? #=> true f.close_on_exec = false f.close_on_exec? #=> false
Sets a close-on-exec flag.
f = open("/dev/null") f.close_on_exec = true system("cat", "/proc/self/fd/#{f.fileno}") # cat: /proc/self/fd/3: No such file or directory f.closed? #=> false
Ruby sets close-on-exec flags of all file descriptors by default since Ruby 2.0.0. So you don’t need to set by yourself. Also, unsetting a close-on-exec flag can cause file descriptor leak if another thread use fork() and exec() (via system() method for example). If you really needs file descriptor inheritance to child process, use spawn()‘s argument such as fd=>fd.
Packs port and host as an AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockaddr string.
Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "127.0.0.1") #=> "\x02\x00\x00P\x7F\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "::1") #=> "\n\x00\x00P\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00"
Unpacks sockaddr into port and ip_address.
sockaddr should be a string or an addrinfo for AF_INET/AF_INET6.
sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "127.0.0.1") p sockaddr #=> "\x02\x00\x00P\x7F\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" p Socket.unpack_sockaddr_in(sockaddr) #=> [80, "127.0.0.1"]
Packs path as an AF_UNIX sockaddr string.
Socket.sockaddr_un("/tmp/sock") #=> "\x01\x00/tmp/sock\x00\x00..."
Unpacks sockaddr into path.
sockaddr should be a string or an addrinfo for AF_UNIX.
sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_un("/tmp/sock") p Socket.unpack_sockaddr_un(sockaddr) #=> "/tmp/sock"
Returns true for IPv6 multicast site-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true when OLE object has OLE method, otherwise returns false.
ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application') ie.ole_respond_to?("gohome") => true
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is added to the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_added(id) puts "Adding #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end end
produces:
Adding singleton_method_added Adding one Adding three
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is removed from the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_removed(id) puts "Removing #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end class << self remove_method :three remove_method :one end end
produces:
Removing three Removing one
Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is undefined in the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_undefined(id) puts "Undefining #{id.id2name}" end def Chatty.one() end class << self undef_method(:one) end end
produces:
Undefining one
Checks for a method provided by this the delegate object by forwarding the call through _getobj_.
Same as each
, but the row index and column index in addition to the element
Matrix[ [1,2], [3,4] ].each_with_index do |e, row, col| puts "#{e} at #{row}, #{col}" end # => Prints: # 1 at 0, 0 # 2 at 0, 1 # 3 at 1, 0 # 4 at 1, 1
Returns the directories in the current shell’s PATH environment variable as an array of directory names. This sets the system_path
for all instances of Shell
.
Example: If in your current shell, you did:
$ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
Running this method in the above shell would then return:
["/usr/bin", "/bin", "/usr/local/bin"]
