This is an abstract class. You never use this directly; it serves as a parent class for the specific declarations.

Enumerator::ArithmeticSequence
is a subclass of Enumerator
, that is a representation of sequences of numbers with common difference. Instances of this class can be generated by the Range#step
and Numeric#step
methods.
Raised by Encoding
and String
methods when the source encoding is incompatible with the target encoding.
A representation of a C function
@libc = Fiddle.dlopen "/lib/libc.so.6" #=> #<Fiddle::Handle:0x00000001d7a8d8> f = Fiddle::Function.new( @libc['strcpy'], [Fiddle::TYPE_VOIDP, Fiddle::TYPE_VOIDP], Fiddle::TYPE_VOIDP) #=> #<Fiddle::Function:0x00000001d8ee00> buff = "000" #=> "000" str = f.call(buff, "123") #=> #<Fiddle::Pointer:0x00000001d0c380 ptr=0x000000018a21b8 size=0 free=0x00000000000000> str.to_s => "123"

Socket::Option
represents a socket option used by BasicSocket#getsockopt
and BasicSocket#setsockopt
. A socket option contains the socket family
, protocol level
, option name optname
and option value data
.
The InstructionSequence
class represents a compiled sequence of instructions for the Ruby Virtual Machine.
With it, you can get a handle to the instructions that make up a method or a proc, compile strings of Ruby code down to VM instructions, and disassemble instruction sequences to strings for easy inspection. It is mostly useful if you want to learn how the Ruby VM works, but it also lets you control various settings for the Ruby iseq compiler.
You can find the source for the VM instructions in insns.def
in the Ruby source.
The instruction sequence results will almost certainly change as Ruby changes, so example output in this documentation may be different from what you see.
The Specification
class contains the information for a Gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:
Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = 'example' s.version = '0.1.0' s.licenses = ['MIT'] s.summary = "This is an example!" s.description = "Much longer explanation of the example!" s.authors = ["Ruby Coder"] s.email = 'rubycoder@example.com' s.files = ["lib/example.rb"] s.homepage = 'https://rubygems.org/gems/example' s.metadata = { "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/example/example" } end
Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification
can hold arbitrary metadata. See metadata
for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.
Map from option/keyword string to object with completion.
Raises when ambiguously completable string is encountered.
