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
Returns a hash created by using gdbm’s values as keys, and the keys as values.
Replaces the content of gdbm with the key-value pairs of other. other must have an each_pair method.
Reorganizes the database file. This operation removes reserved space of elements that have already been deleted. It is only useful after a lot of deletions in the database.
Turns the database’s synchronization mode on or off. If the synchronization mode is turned on, the database’s in-memory state will be synchronized to disk after every database modification operation. If the synchronization mode is turned off, GDBM does not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing.
This option is only available for gdbm >= 1.8 where syncmode is turned off by default. See also: fastmode=
Returns true if the given key k exists within the database. Returns false otherwise.
Returns true if obj is an element of the range, false otherwise. If begin and end are numeric, comparison is done according to the magnitude of the values.
("a".."z").include?("g") #=> true ("a".."z").include?("A") #=> false ("a".."z").include?("cc") #=> false
Returns whether sym is :“” or not.
Returns true if self points to a mountpoint.
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
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.
