Returns the date format being used. See datetime_format=
Returns the factorization of value
.
value
An arbitrary integer.
generator
Optional. A pseudo-prime generator. generator
.succ must return the next pseudo-prime number in the ascending order. It must generate all prime numbers, but may also generate non prime numbers too.
ZeroDivisionError
when value
is zero.
For an arbitrary integer:
n = p_1**e_1 * p_2**e_2 * .... * p_n**e_n,
prime_division
(n) returns:
[[p_1, e_1], [p_2, e_2], ...., [p_n, e_n]]. Prime.prime_division(12) #=> [[2,2], [3,1]]
Ruby tries to load the library named string relative to the requiring file’s path. If the file’s path cannot be determined a LoadError
is raised. If a file is loaded true
is returned and false otherwise.
Parse a file at filename
. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Document
.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError
when a YAML syntax error is detected.
Parse a YAML string in yaml
. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Stream
. This method can handle multiple YAML documents contained in yaml
. filename
is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError
is raised.
If a block is given, a Psych::Nodes::Document
node will be yielded to the block as it’s being parsed.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError
when a YAML syntax error is detected.
Example:
Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Stream:0x00> Psych.parse_stream("--- a\n--- b") do |node| node # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00> end begin Psych.parse_stream("--- `", "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 the version of libyaml being used
Returns the string which represents the version of zlib library.
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
.

Returns true if the contents of a file A and a file B are identical.
FileUtils.compare_file('somefile', 'somefile') #=> true FileUtils.compare_file('/bin/cp', '/bin/mv') #=> maybe false
Returns true if the contents of a file A and a file B are identical.
FileUtils.compare_file('somefile', 'somefile') #=> true FileUtils.compare_file('/bin/cp', '/bin/mv') #=> maybe false
Returns true if the contents of a stream a
and b
are identical.
Returns true if the contents of a stream a
and b
are identical.
Tests for the presence of a --with-
config or --without-
config option. Returns true
if the with option is given, false
if the without option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if with_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
Leaves exclusive section.
Enters exclusive section and executes the block. Leaves the exclusive section automatically when the block exits. See example under MonitorMixin
.
Notify observers of a change in state if this object’s changed state is true
.
This will invoke the method named in add_observer
, passing *arg
. The changed state is then set to false
.
*arg
Any arguments to pass to the observers.
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. }

Try to activate a gem containing path
. Returns true if activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated. Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
