Returns the terminal’s rows and columns.
See GNU Readline’s rl_get_screen_size function.
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 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.
Quietly ensure the Gem directory dir
contains all the proper subdirectories. If we can’t create a directory due to a permission problem, then we will silently continue.
If mode
is given, missing directories are created with this mode.
World-writable directories will never be created.
Returns a String
containing the API compatibility version of Ruby
Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name
Find
all ‘rubygems_plugin’ files in $LOAD_PATH and load them
Register a Gem::Specification
for default gem.
Two formats for the specification are supported:
MRI 2.0 style, where spec.files contains unprefixed require names. The spec’s filenames will be registered as-is.
New style, where spec.files contains files prefixed with paths from spec.require_paths. The prefixes are stripped before registering the spec’s filenames. Unprefixed files are omitted.
Paths where RubyGems’ .rb files and bin files are installed
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
Returns whether or not the struct of type type
contains member
. If it does not, or the struct type can’t be found, then false is returned. You may optionally specify additional headers
in which to look for the struct (in addition to the common header files).
If found, a macro is passed as a preprocessor constant to the compiler using the type name and the member name, in uppercase, prepended with HAVE_
.
For example, if have_struct_member('struct foo', 'bar')
returned true, then the HAVE_STRUCT_FOO_BAR
preprocessor macro would be passed to the compiler.
HAVE_ST_BAR
is also defined for backward compatibility.
Attempts to enter exclusive section. Returns false
if lock fails.
