Returns true if emacs mode is active. Returns false if not.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Specifies a character to be appended on completion. Nothing will be appended if an empty string (“”) or nil is specified.
For example:
require "readline" Readline.readline("> ", true) Readline.completion_append_character = " "
Result:
> Input "/var/li". > /var/li Press TAB key. > /var/lib Completes "b" and appends " ". So, you can continuously input "/usr". > /var/lib /usr
NOTE: Only one character can be specified. When “string” is specified, sets only “s” that is the first.
require "readline" Readline.completion_append_character = "string" p Readline.completion_append_character # => "s"
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Returns a string containing a character to be appended on completion. The default is a space (“ ”).
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
When called during a completion (e.g. from within your completion_proc), it will return a string containing the character used to quote the argument being completed, or nil if the argument is unquoted.
When called at other times, it will always return nil.
Note that Readline.completer_quote_characters must be set, or this method will always return nil.
Sets a list of quote characters which can cause a word break.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Gets a list of quote characters which can cause a word break.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
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.
Sets a list of characters that cause a filename to be quoted by the completer when they appear in a completed filename. The default is nil.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Gets a list of characters that cause a filename to be quoted by the completer when they appear in a completed filename.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
Returns information about the most recent garbage collection.
Returns a list of paths matching glob from the latest gems that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:
Gem.find_latest_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end
if check_load_path is true (the default), then find_latest_files also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.
Unlike find_files, find_latest_files will return only files from the latest version of a gem.
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 the latest release-version specification for the gem name.
Returns the latest release version of RubyGems.
Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name
The default signing key path
The default signing certificate chain path
Default options for gem commands for Ruby packagers.
The options here should be structured as an array of string “gem” command names as keys and a string of the default options as values.
Example:
def self.operating_system_defaults
{
'install' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang',
'update' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang'
}
end
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
Define method as delegator instance method with an optional alias name ali. Method calls to ali will be delegated to accessor.method.
class MyQueue extend Forwardable attr_reader :queue def initialize @queue = [] end def_delegator :@queue, :push, :mypush end q = MyQueue.new q.mypush 42 q.queue #=> [42] q.push 23 #=> NoMethodError
Shortcut for defining multiple delegator methods, but with no provision for using a different name. The following two code samples have the same effect:
def_delegators :@records, :size, :<<, :map def_delegator :@records, :size def_delegator :@records, :<< def_delegator :@records, :map
Defines a method method which delegates to accessor (i.e. it calls the method of the same name in accessor). If new_name is provided, it is used as the name for the delegate method.
