Returns a raw seed string, using platform providing features.
Random.raw_seed(8) #=> "\x78\x41\xBA\xAF\x7D\xEA\xD8\xEA"
Return class or module of the method being called.
class C; def foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> C end.enable do C.new.foo end
If method is defined by a module, then that module is returned.
module M; def foo; end; end class C; include M; end; trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> M end.enable do C.new.foo end
Note: defined_class returns singleton class.
6th block parameter of Kernel#set_trace_func passes original class of attached by singleton class.
This is a difference between Kernel#set_trace_func and TracePoint.
class C; def self.foo; end; end trace = TracePoint.new(:call) do |tp| p tp.defined_class #=> #<Class:C> end.enable do C.foo end
Value from exception raised on the :raise event
Returns an array of the names of global variables.
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
Returns the last Error of the current executing Thread or nil if none
Sets the last Error of the current executing Thread to error
Returns the original line from source for from the given object.
See ::trace_object_allocations for more information and examples.
Initiates garbage collection, unless manually disabled.
This method is defined with keyword arguments that default to true:
def GC.start(full_mark: true, immediate_sweep: true); end
Use full_mark: false to perform a minor GC. Use immediate_sweep: false to defer sweeping (use lazy sweep).
Note: These keyword arguments are implementation and version dependent. They are not guaranteed to be future-compatible, and may be ignored if the underlying implementation does not support them.
Adds aProc as a finalizer, to be called after obj was destroyed. The object ID of the obj will be passed as an argument to aProc. If aProc is a lambda or method, make sure it can be called with a single argument.
Removes all finalizers for obj.
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 full line that is being edited. This is useful from within the complete_proc for determining the context of the completion request.
The length of Readline.line_buffer and GNU Readline’s rl_end are same.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Clear the current input line.
Combine two Adler-32 check values in to one. alder1 is the first Adler-32 value, adler2 is the second Adler-32 value. len2 is the length of the string used to generate adler2.
Combine two CRC-32 check values in to one. crc1 is the first CRC-32 value, crc2 is the second CRC-32 value. len2 is the length of the string used to generate crc2.
Initiates garbage collection, unless manually disabled.

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.

Get the ‘current’ server.
In the context of execution taking place within the main thread of a dRuby server (typically, as a result of a remote call on the server or one of its objects), the current server is that server. Otherwise, the current server is the primary server.
If the above rule fails to find a server, a DRbServerNotFound error is raised.

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.
