creates a UDP/IP server on port and calls the block for each message arrived. The block is called with the message and its source information.
This method allocates sockets internally using port. If host is specified, it is used conjunction with port to determine the server addresses.
The msg is a string.
The msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource object. It is used for reply.
# UDP/IP echo server. Socket.udp_server_loop(9261) {|msg, msg_src| msg_src.reply msg }
creates a UNIX socket server on path. It calls the block for each socket accepted.
If host is specified, it is used with port to determine the server ports.
The socket is not closed when the block returns. So application should close it.
This method deletes the socket file pointed by path at first if the file is a socket file and it is owned by the user of the application. This is safe only if the directory of path is not changed by a malicious user. So don’t use /tmp/malicious-users-directory/socket. Note that /tmp/socket and /tmp/your-private-directory/socket is safe assuming that /tmp has sticky bit.
# Sequential echo server. # It services only one client at a time. Socket.unix_server_loop("/tmp/sock") {|sock, client_addrinfo| begin IO.copy_stream(sock, sock) ensure sock.close end }
Returns the size of optional parameters.

Returns the class for the given object.
class A def foo ObjectSpace::trace_object_allocations do obj = Object.new p "#{ObjectSpace::allocation_class_path(obj)}" end end end A.new.foo #=> "Class"

Specifies a Proc object proc to determine if a character in the user’s input is escaped. It should take the user’s input and the index of the character in question as input, and return a boolean (true if the specified character is escaped).
Readline will only call this proc with characters specified in completer_quote_characters, to discover if they indicate the end of a quoted argument, or characters specified in completer_word_break_characters, to discover if they indicate a break between arguments.
If completer_quote_characters is not set, or if the user input doesn’t contain one of the completer_quote_characters or a ++ character, Readline will not attempt to use this proc at all.
Raises ArgumentError if proc does not respond to the call method.
Returns the quoting detection Proc object.
Sets whether or not to ignore case on completion.
Returns true if completion ignores case. If no, returns false.
NOTE: Returns the same object that is specified by Readline.completion_case_fold= method.
require "readline" Readline.completion_case_fold = "This is a String." p Readline.completion_case_fold # => "This is a String."
Sets a list of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the line. Completion occurs on the entire substring, and within the substring Readline.completer_word_break_characters are treated as any other character, unless they also appear within this list.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Gets a list of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the line.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
The file name and line number of the caller of the caller of this method.
depth is how many layers up the call stack it should go.
e.g.,
def a; Gem.location_of_caller; end a #=> [“x.rb”, 2] # (it’ll vary depending on file name and line number)
def b; c; end def c; Gem.location_of_caller(2); end b #=> [“x.rb”, 6] # (it’ll vary depending on file name and line number)
Returns a String containing the API compatibility version of Ruby
Returns the latest release version of RubyGems.
Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name
Get a single optional argument from the command line. If more than one argument is given, return only the first. Return nil if none are given.
Same as Array#each, but traverses self in reverse order.
a = [ "a", "b", "c" ] a.reverse_each {|x| print x, " " }
produces:
c b a
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
Returns any backtrace associated with the exception. This method is similar to Exception#backtrace, but the backtrace is an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location.
Now, this method is not affected by Exception#set_backtrace().
Creates module functions for the named methods. These functions may be called with the module as a receiver, and also become available as instance methods to classes that mix in the module. Module functions are copies of the original, and so may be changed independently. The instance-method versions are made private. If used with no arguments, subsequently defined methods become module functions. String arguments are converted to symbols.
module Mod def one "This is one" end module_function :one end class Cls include Mod def call_one one end end Mod.one #=> "This is one" c = Cls.new c.call_one #=> "This is one" module Mod def one "This is the new one" end end Mod.one #=> "This is one" c.call_one #=> "This is the new one"
Returns the fractional part of the day.
DateTime.new(2001,2,3,12).day_fraction #=> (1/2)
