Results for: "Data"

Returns the least significant eight bits of the return code of stat. Only available if exited? is true.

fork { }           #=> 26572
Process.wait       #=> 26572
$?.exited?         #=> true
$?.exitstatus      #=> 0

fork { exit 99 }   #=> 26573
Process.wait       #=> 26573
$?.exited?         #=> true
$?.exitstatus      #=> 99

Updates the digest using a given string and returns self.

The update() method and the left-shift operator are overridden by each implementation subclass. (One should be an alias for the other)

Return true if the PRNG has been seeded with enough data, false otherwise.

<!NOTATION …>

<!NOTATION …>

When invoked with a block, yields all repeated combinations of length n of elements from the array and then returns the array itself.

The implementation makes no guarantees about the order in which the repeated combinations are yielded.

If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.

Examples:

a = [1, 2, 3]
a.repeated_combination(1).to_a  #=> [[1], [2], [3]]
a.repeated_combination(2).to_a  #=> [[1,1],[1,2],[1,3],[2,2],[2,3],[3,3]]
a.repeated_combination(3).to_a  #=> [[1,1,1],[1,1,2],[1,1,3],[1,2,2],[1,2,3],
                                #    [1,3,3],[2,2,2],[2,2,3],[2,3,3],[3,3,3]]
a.repeated_combination(4).to_a  #=> [[1,1,1,1],[1,1,1,2],[1,1,1,3],[1,1,2,2],[1,1,2,3],
                                #    [1,1,3,3],[1,2,2,2],[1,2,2,3],[1,2,3,3],[1,3,3,3],
                                #    [2,2,2,2],[2,2,2,3],[2,2,3,3],[2,3,3,3],[3,3,3,3]]
a.repeated_combination(0).to_a  #=> [[]] # one combination of length 0

Makes a list of existing constants private.

Makes a list of existing constants deprecated.

Returns true if the given calendar date is valid, and false if not.

Date.valid_date?(2001,2,3)        #=> true
Date.valid_date?(2001,2,29)       #=> false

Returns self.

Returns a DateTime object which denotes self.

Returns true if this class can be used to create an instance from a serialised JSON string. The class has to implement a class method json_create that expects a hash as first parameter. The hash should include the required data.

Returns garbage collector generation for the given object.

class B
  include ObjectSpace

  def foo
    trace_object_allocations do
      obj = Object.new
      p "Generation is #{allocation_generation(obj)}"
    end
  end
end

B.new.foo #=> "Generation is 3"

See ::trace_object_allocations for more information and examples.

Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names. The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.

How String Gem paths should be split. Overridable for esoteric platforms.

Returns the status of the last executed child process in the current thread.

Process.wait Process.spawn("ruby", "-e", "exit 13")
Process.last_status   #=> #<Process::Status: pid 4825 exit 13>

If no child process has ever been executed in the current thread, this returns nil.

Process.last_status   #=> nil

True if the gems in the system satisfy dependency.

Downloads uri to path if necessary. If no path is given, it just passes the data.

Expire memoized instance variables that can incorrectly generate, replace or miss files due changes in certain attributes used to compute them.
