Uses the character cmd to perform various tests on file1 (first table below) or on file1 and file2 (second table).
File tests on a single file:
Cmd Returns Meaning
"A" | Time | Last access time for file1
"b" | boolean | True if file1 is a block device
"c" | boolean | True if file1 is a character device
"C" | Time | Last change time for file1
"d" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is a directory
"e" | boolean | True if file1 exists
"f" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is a regular file
"g" | boolean | True if file1 has the \CF{setgid} bit
| | set (false under NT)
"G" | boolean | True if file1 exists and has a group
| | ownership equal to the caller's group
"k" | boolean | True if file1 exists and has the sticky bit set
"l" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is a symbolic link
"M" | Time | Last modification time for file1
"o" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is owned by
| | the caller's effective uid
"O" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is owned by
| | the caller's real uid
"p" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is a fifo
"r" | boolean | True if file1 is readable by the effective
| | uid/gid of the caller
"R" | boolean | True if file is readable by the real
| | uid/gid of the caller
"s" | int/nil | If file1 has nonzero size, return the size,
| | otherwise return nil
"S" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is a socket
"u" | boolean | True if file1 has the setuid bit set
"w" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is writable by
| | the effective uid/gid
"W" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is writable by
| | the real uid/gid
"x" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is executable by
| | the effective uid/gid
"X" | boolean | True if file1 exists and is executable by
| | the real uid/gid
"z" | boolean | True if file1 exists and has a zero length
Tests that take two files:
"-" | boolean | True if file1 and file2 are identical
"=" | boolean | True if the modification times of file1
| | and file2 are equal
"<" | boolean | True if the modification time of file1
| | is prior to that of file2
">" | boolean | True if the modification time of file1
| | is after that of file2
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"
Returns x/y;
Rational(1, 2) #=> (1/2) Rational('1/2') #=> (1/2) Rational(nil) #=> TypeError Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError
Syntax of string form:
string form = extra spaces , rational , extra spaces ;
rational = [ sign ] , unsigned rational ;
unsigned rational = numerator | numerator , "/" , denominator ;
numerator = integer part | fractional part | integer part , fractional part ;
denominator = digits ;
integer part = digits ;
fractional part = "." , digits , [ ( "e" | "E" ) , [ sign ] , digits ] ;
sign = "-" | "+" ;
digits = digit , { digit | "_" , digit } ;
digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" ;
extra spaces = ? \s* ? ;
See String#to_r.
Returns the number of items in enum through enumeration. If an argument is given, the number of items in enum that are equal to item are counted. If a block is given, it counts the number of elements yielding a true value.
ary = [1, 2, 4, 2] ary.count #=> 4 ary.count(2) #=> 2 ary.count{ |x| x%2==0 } #=> 3
Returns a new array with the results of running block once for every element in enum.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
(1..4).map { |i| i*i } #=> [1, 4, 9, 16] (1..4).collect { "cat" } #=> ["cat", "cat", "cat", "cat"]
Returns two arrays, the first containing the elements of enum for which the block evaluates to true, the second containing the rest.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
(1..6).partition { |v| v.even? } #=> [[2, 4, 6], [1, 3, 5]]
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) #=> []
Passes each element of the collection to the given block. The method returns true if the block returns true exactly once. If the block is not given, one? will return true only if exactly one of the collection members is true.
%w{ant bear cat}.one? { |word| word.length == 4 } #=> true %w{ant bear cat}.one? { |word| word.length > 4 } #=> false %w{ant bear cat}.one? { |word| word.length < 4 } #=> false [ nil, true, 99 ].one? #=> false [ nil, true, false ].one? #=> true
Passes each element of the collection to the given block. The method returns true if the block never returns true for all elements. If the block is not given, none? will return true only if none of the collection members is true.
%w{ant bear cat}.none? { |word| word.length == 5 } #=> true %w{ant bear cat}.none? { |word| word.length >= 4 } #=> false [].none? #=> true [nil].none? #=> true [nil, false].none? #=> true [nil, false, true].none? #=> false
Computes the cosine of decimal to the specified number of digits of precision, numeric.
If decimal is Infinity or NaN, returns NaN.
BigMath.cos(BigMath.PI(4), 16).to_s #=> "-0.999999999999999999999999999999856613163740061349e0"
Computes the Jacobian of f at x. fx is the value of f at x.
Performs LU decomposition of the n by n matrix a.
Enables coverage measurement.
Generates a hex-encoded version of a given string.
Returns system temporary directory; typically “/tmp”.
Returns a Digest subclass by name.
require 'openssl' OpenSSL::Digest("MD5") # => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5 Digest("Foo") # => NameError: wrong constant name Foo
Returns a Digest subclass by name.
require 'openssl' OpenSSL::Digest("MD5") # => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5 Digest("Foo") # => NameError: wrong constant name Foo
Returns an inspect() string summarizing the object state.
Return true if the named file exists.
file_name can be an IO object.
“file exists” means that stat() or fstat() system call is successful.
Deprecated method. Don’t use.
Returns true if the named file has the sticky bit set.
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.
The number of times GC occurred.
It returns the number of times GC occurred since the process started.
Returns a Hash containing information about the GC.
The hash includes information about internal statistics about GC such as:
{
:count=>0,
:heap_allocated_pages=>24,
:heap_sorted_length=>24,
:heap_allocatable_pages=>0,
:heap_available_slots=>9783,
:heap_live_slots=>7713,
:heap_free_slots=>2070,

:heap_marked_slots=>0,
:heap_eden_pages=>24,
:heap_tomb_pages=>0,
:total_allocated_pages=>24,
:total_freed_pages=>0,
:total_allocated_objects=>7796,
:total_freed_objects=>83,
:malloc_increase_bytes=>2389312,

:oldmalloc_increase_bytes_limit=>16777216
}
The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.
This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.
Returns the Base64-encoded version of bin. This method complies with RFC 2045. Line feeds are added to every 60 encoded characters.
