Renames the given file to the new name. Raises a SystemCallError if the file cannot be renamed.
File.rename("afile", "afile.bak") #=> 0
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem not containing symlinks or useless dots.
If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.
All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem. The real pathname doesn’t contain symlinks or useless dots.
If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.
The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.
Returns the last component of the filename given in file_name (after first stripping trailing separators), which can be formed using both File::SEPARATOR and File::ALT_SEPARATOR as the separator when File::ALT_SEPARATOR is not nil. If suffix is given and present at the end of file_name, it is removed. If suffix is “.*”, any extension will be removed.
File.basename("/home/gumby/work/ruby.rb") #=> "ruby.rb" File.basename("/home/gumby/work/ruby.rb", ".rb") #=> "ruby" File.basename("/home/gumby/work/ruby.rb", ".*") #=> "ruby"
Returns all components of the filename given in file_name except the last one (after first stripping trailing separators). The filename can be formed using both File::SEPARATOR and File::ALT_SEPARATOR as the separator when File::ALT_SEPARATOR is not nil.
File.dirname("/home/gumby/work/ruby.rb") #=> "/home/gumby/work"
Returns the extension (the portion of file name in path starting from the last period).
If path is a dotfile, or starts with a period, then the starting dot is not dealt with the start of the extension.
An empty string will also be returned when the period is the last character in path.
File.extname("test.rb") #=> ".rb" File.extname("a/b/d/test.rb") #=> ".rb" File.extname(".a/b/d/test.rb") #=> ".rb" File.extname("foo.") #=> "" File.extname("test") #=> "" File.extname(".profile") #=> "" File.extname(".profile.sh") #=> ".sh"
Returns the string representation of the path
File.path("/dev/null") #=> "/dev/null" File.path(Pathname.new("/tmp")) #=> "/tmp"
Returns the pathname used to create file as a string. Does not normalize the name.
The pathname may not point to the file corresponding to file. For instance, the pathname becomes void when the file has been moved or deleted.
This method raises IOError for a file created using File::Constants::TMPFILE because they don’t have a pathname.
File.new("testfile").path #=> "testfile" File.new("/tmp/../tmp/xxx", "w").path #=> "/tmp/../tmp/xxx"
Returns the list of name and aliases of the encoding.
Encoding::WINDOWS_31J.names #=> ["Windows-31J", "CP932", "csWindows31J"]
Return the name associated with this NameError exception.
Returns the name of the module mod. Returns nil for anonymous modules.
Returns pathname configuration variable using fpathconf().
name should be a constant under Etc which begins with PC_.
The return value is an integer or nil. nil means indefinite limit. (fpathconf() returns -1 but errno is not set.)
require 'etc' IO.pipe {|r, w| p w.pathconf(Etc::PC_PIPE_BUF) #=> 4096 }
Returns a list of names of captures as an array of strings.
/(?<foo>.)(?<bar>.)(?<baz>.)/.names #=> ["foo", "bar", "baz"] /(?<foo>.)(?<foo>.)/.names #=> ["foo"] /(.)(.)/.names #=> []
Returns the name or string corresponding to sym.
:fred.id2name #=> "fred" :ginger.to_s #=> "ginger"
Return current parsing filename.
Obtains the port number for service_name.
If protocol_name is not given, “tcp” is assumed.
Socket.getservbyname("smtp") #=> 25 Socket.getservbyname("shell") #=> 514 Socket.getservbyname("syslog", "udp") #=> 514
Obtains name information for sockaddr.
sockaddr should be one of follows.
packed sockaddr string such as Socket.sockaddr_in(80, “127.0.0.1”)
3-elements array such as [“AF_INET”, 80, “127.0.0.1”]
4-elements array such as [“AF_INET”, 80, ignored, “127.0.0.1”]
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::NI_* constants.
Note: The last form is compatible with IPSocket#addr and IPSocket#peeraddr.
Socket.getnameinfo(Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "127.0.0.1")) #=> ["localhost", "www"] Socket.getnameinfo(["AF_INET", 80, "127.0.0.1"]) #=> ["localhost", "www"] Socket.getnameinfo(["AF_INET", 80, "localhost", "127.0.0.1"]) #=> ["localhost", "www"]
If Addrinfo object is preferred, use Addrinfo#getnameinfo.
Returns the local address of the socket as a sockaddr string.
TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 15120) {|serv| p serv.getsockname #=> "\x02\x00;\x10\x7F\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" }
If Addrinfo object is preferred over the binary string, use BasicSocket#local_address.
Returns the remote address of the socket as a sockaddr string.
TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 1440) {|serv| c = TCPSocket.new("127.0.0.1", 1440) s = serv.accept p s.getpeername #=> "\x02\x00\x82u\x7F\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" }
If Addrinfo object is preferred over the binary string, use BasicSocket#remote_address.
returns the canonical name as an string.
nil is returned if no canonical name.
The canonical name is set by Addrinfo.getaddrinfo when AI_CANONNAME is specified.
list = Addrinfo.getaddrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", 80, :INET, :STREAM, nil, Socket::AI_CANONNAME) p list[0] #=> #<Addrinfo: 221.186.184.68:80 TCP carbon.ruby-lang.org (www.ruby-lang.org)> p list[0].canonname #=> "carbon.ruby-lang.org"
returns nodename and service as a pair of strings. This converts struct sockaddr in addrinfo to textual representation.
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::NI_??? constants.
Addrinfo.tcp("127.0.0.1", 80).getnameinfo #=> ["localhost", "www"] Addrinfo.tcp("127.0.0.1", 80).getnameinfo(Socket::NI_NUMERICSERV) #=> ["localhost", "80"]
Returns the path of the local address of unixsocket.
s = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock") p s.path #=> "/tmp/sock"
Returns the name of the method.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs') puts method.name # => SaveAs
Returns name.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs') param1 = method.params[0] puts param1.name # => Filename
