Complex scalar division.
Symmetric Householder reduction to tridiagonal form.
Symmetric tridiagonal QL algorithm.
Disconnects from the server.
Returns true if disconnected from the server.
This is used as a predicate, and ought to be called first.
@return the XMLDecl encoding of this document as an Encoding object. If no XMLDecl has been set, returns the default encoding.
A predicate filters a node-set with respect to an axis to produce a new node-set. For each node in the node-set to be filtered, the PredicateExpr is evaluated with that node as the context node, with the number of nodes in the node-set as the context size, and with the proximity position of the node in the node-set with respect to the axis as the context position; if PredicateExpr evaluates to true for that node, the node is included in the new node-set; otherwise, it is not included.
A PredicateExpr is evaluated by evaluating the Expr and converting the result to a boolean. If the result is a number, the result will be converted to true if the number is equal to the context position and will be converted to false otherwise; if the result is not a number, then the result will be converted as if by a call to the boolean function. Thus a location path para is equivalent to para.
Inherited from Encoding Overridden to support optimized en/decoding
Finds and returns the first node that matches the supplied xpath.
The context element
The xpath to search for. If not supplied or nil, returns the first node matching ‘*’.
If supplied, a Hash which defines a namespace mapping.
If supplied, a Hash which maps $variables in the query to values. This can be used to avoid XPath injection attacks or to automatically handle escaping string values.
XPath.first( node )
XPath.first( doc, "//b"} )
XPath.first( node, "a/x:b", { "x"=>"http://doofus" } )
XPath.first( node, '/book/publisher/text()=$publisher', {}, {"publisher"=>"O'Reilly"})
Performs a depth-first (document order) XPath search, and returns the first match. This is the fastest, lightest way to return a single result.
FIXME: This method is incomplete!
Builds a nodeset of all of the preceding nodes of the supplied node, in reverse document order
includes every element in the document that precedes this node,
except for ancestors
Has this tuple expired? (true/false).
A tuple has expired when its expiry timer based on the sec argument to initialize runs out.
Returns the first source in the list.
Sets the cookie expiration to the time t. The expiration time may be a false value to disable expiration or a Time or HTTP format time string to set the expiration date.
Retrieves the expiration time as a Time
If none is given, returns the resulting hash value of the digest, keeping the digest’s state.
If a string is given, returns the hash value for the given string, resetting the digest to the initial state before and after the process.
Returns the resulting hash value and resets the digest to the initial state.
If none is given, returns the resulting hash value of the digest in a hex-encoded form, keeping the digest’s state.
If a string is given, returns the hash value for the given string in a hex-encoded form, resetting the digest to the initial state before and after the process.
