Returns true if the underlying file descriptor of ios will be closed automatically at its finalization, otherwise false.
Sets auto-close flag.
f = open("/dev/null") IO.for_fd(f.fileno) # ... f.gets # may cause IOError f = open("/dev/null") IO.for_fd(f.fileno).autoclose = true # ... f.gets # won't cause IOError
Returns an integer representing the numeric file descriptor for ios.
$stdin.fileno #=> 0 $stdout.fileno #=> 1
Deletes every key-value pair from gdbm for which block evaluates to true.
Returns a hash copy of gdbm where all key-value pairs from gdbm for which block evaluates to true are removed. See also: delete_if
Replaces the content of gdbm with the key-value pairs of other. other must have an each_pair method.
Turns the database’s fast mode on or off. If fast mode is turned on, gdbm does not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing.
This option is obsolete for gdbm >= 1.8 since fast mode is turned on by default. See also: syncmode=
Returns an array of all key-value pairs contained in the database.
Converts the OpenStruct to a hash with keys representing each attribute (as symbols) and their corresponding values.
require "ostruct" data = OpenStruct.new("country" => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra") data.to_h # => {:country => "Australia", :capital => "Canberra" }
Iterates over the range, passing each nth element to the block. If begin and end are numeric, n is added for each iteration. Otherwise step invokes succ to iterate through range elements.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
range = Xs.new(1)..Xs.new(10) range.step(2) {|x| puts x} puts range.step(3) {|x| puts x}
produces:
1 x 3 xxx 5 xxxxx 7 xxxxxxx 9 xxxxxxxxx 1 x 4 xxxx 7 xxxxxxx 10 xxxxxxxxxx
See Range for the definition of class Xs.
Returns the first object in the range, or an array of the first n elements.
(10..20).first #=> 10 (10..20).first(3) #=> [10, 11, 12]
Returns the last object in the range, or an array of the last n elements.
Note that with no arguments last will return the object that defines the end of the range even if exclude_end? is true.
(10..20).last #=> 20 (10...20).last #=> 20 (10..20).last(3) #=> [18, 19, 20] (10...20).last(3) #=> [17, 18, 19]
Convert this range object to a printable form (using to_s to convert the begin and end objects).
Returns a string containing the regular expression and its options (using the (?opts:source) notation. This string can be fed back in to Regexp::new to a regular expression with the same semantics as the original. (However, Regexp#== may not return true when comparing the two, as the source of the regular expression itself may differ, as the example shows). Regexp#inspect produces a generally more readable version of rxp.
r1 = /ab+c/ix #=> /ab+c/ix s1 = r1.to_s #=> "(?ix-m:ab+c)" r2 = Regexp.new(s1) #=> /(?ix-m:ab+c)/ r1 == r2 #=> false r1.source #=> "ab+c" r2.source #=> "(?ix-m:ab+c)"
Returns the name or string corresponding to sym.
:fred.id2name #=> "fred" :ginger.to_s #=> "ginger"
The opposite of Pathname#absolute?
It returns false if the pathname begins with a slash.
p = Pathname.new('/im/sure') p.relative? #=> false p = Pathname.new('not/so/sure') p.relative? #=> true
Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname objects.
By default, the returned pathnames will have enough information to access the files. If you set with_directory to false, then the returned pathnames will contain the filename only.
For example:
pn = Pathname("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8")
pn.children
# -> [ Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/English.rb,
Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/Env.rb,
Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/abbrev.rb, ... ]
pn.children(false)
# -> [ Pathname:English.rb, Pathname:Env.rb, Pathname:abbrev.rb, ... ]
Note that the results never contain the entries . and .. in the directory because they are not children.
Recursively deletes a directory, including all directories beneath it.
See FileUtils.rm_r
Return the path as a String.
to_path is implemented so Pathname objects are usable with File.open, etc.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname for self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.
