Sets the system path (the Shell
instance’s PATH environment variable).
path
should be an array of directory name strings.
Returns the original name of the method.
class C def foo; end alias bar foo end C.instance_method(:bar).original_name # => :foo
Returns the original name of the method.
class C def foo; end alias bar foo end C.instance_method(:bar).original_name # => :foo
Returns an array of the names of the thread-local variables (as Symbols).
thr = Thread.new do Thread.current.thread_variable_set(:cat, 'meow') Thread.current.thread_variable_set("dog", 'woof') end thr.join #=> #<Thread:0x401b3f10 dead> thr.thread_variables #=> [:dog, :cat]
Note that these are not fiber local variables. Please see Thread#[]
and Thread#thread_variable_get
for more details.
Returns true
if the given string (or symbol) exists as a thread-local variable.
me = Thread.current me.thread_variable_set(:oliver, "a") me.thread_variable?(:oliver) #=> true me.thread_variable?(:stanley) #=> false
Note that these are not fiber local variables. Please see Thread#[]
and Thread#thread_variable_get
for more details.
Returns the execution stack for the target thread—an array containing backtrace location objects.
See Thread::Backtrace::Location
for more information.
This method behaves similarly to Kernel#caller_locations
except it applies to a specific thread.
Attempts to obtain the lock and returns immediately. Returns true
if the lock was granted.
Returns an array of the names of global variables.
global_variables.grep /std/ #=> [:$stdin, :$stdout, :$stderr]
Controls tracing of assignments to global variables. The parameter symbol
identifies the variable (as either a string name or a symbol identifier). cmd (which may be a string or a Proc
object) or block is executed whenever the variable is assigned. The block or Proc
object receives the variable’s new value as a parameter. Also see Kernel::untrace_var
.
trace_var :$_, proc {|v| puts "$_ is now '#{v}'" } $_ = "hello" $_ = ' there'
produces:
$_ is now 'hello' $_ is now ' there'
Removes tracing for the specified command on the given global variable and returns nil
. If no command is specified, removes all tracing for that variable and returns an array containing the commands actually removed.
Returns the names of the current local variables.
fred = 1 for i in 1..10 # ... end local_variables #=> [:fred, :i]
Calls block once for each element in self
, passing that element as a parameter, converting multiple values from yield to an array.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
class Foo include Enumerable def each yield 1 yield 1, 2 yield end end Foo.new.each_entry{ |o| p o }
produces:
1 [1, 2] nil
Returns the last Error
of the current executing Thread
or nil if none
Sets the last Error
of the current executing Thread
to error
Generate a JSON
document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. This method disables the checks for circles in Ruby objects.
WARNING: Be careful not to pass any Ruby data structures with circles as obj argument because this will cause JSON
to go into an infinite loop.
Turns FIPS mode on or off. Turning on FIPS mode will obviously only have an effect for FIPS-capable installations of the OpenSSL
library. Trying to do so otherwise will result in an error.
OpenSSL.fips_mode = true # turn FIPS mode on OpenSSL.fips_mode = false # and off again
Returns true
if the named file is writable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3)
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil
otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2)
.
file_name can be an IO
object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Try to activate a gem containing path
. Returns true if activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated. Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
Adds a post-build hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer
instance when Gem::Installer#install
is called. The hook is called after the gem has been extracted and extensions have been built but before the executables or gemspec has been written. If the hook returns false
then the gem’s files will be removed and the install will be aborted.
Adds a post-installs hook that will be passed a Gem::DependencyInstaller
and a list of installed specifications when Gem::DependencyInstaller#install
is complete
Adds a hook that will get run after Gem::Specification.reset
is run.
Adds a pre-install hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer
instance when Gem::Installer#install
is called. If the hook returns false
then the install will be aborted.
Adds a pre-uninstall hook that will be passed an Gem::Uninstaller
instance and the spec that will be uninstalled when Gem::Uninstaller#uninstall
is called
