SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64 generates a random URL-safe base64 string.
The argument n specifies the length, in bytes, of the random number to be generated. The length of the result string is about 4/3 of n.
If n is not specified or is nil, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in the future.
The boolean argument padding specifies the padding. If it is false or nil, padding is not generated. Otherwise padding is generated. By default, padding is not generated because “=” may be used as a URL delimiter.
The result may contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “-” and “_”. “=” is also used if padding is true.

If a secure random number generator is not available, NotImplementedError
is raised.

Change the current process’s real and effective user ID to that specified by user. Returns the new user ID. Not available on all platforms.
[Process.uid, Process.euid] #=> [0, 0] Process::UID.change_privilege(31) #=> 31 [Process.uid, Process.euid] #=> [31, 31]
Set
the effective user ID, and if possible, the saved user ID of the process to the given user. Returns the new effective user ID. Not available on all platforms.
[Process.uid, Process.euid] #=> [0, 0] Process::UID.grant_privilege(31) #=> 31 [Process.uid, Process.euid] #=> [0, 31]
Change the current process’s real and effective group ID to that specified by group. Returns the new group ID. Not available on all platforms.
[Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [0, 0] Process::GID.change_privilege(33) #=> 33 [Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [33, 33]
Set

Returns the value of the given instance variable, or nil if the instance variable is not set. The @
part of the variable name should be included for regular instance variables. Throws a NameError
exception if the supplied symbol is not valid as an instance variable name. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_get(:@a) #=> "cat" fred.instance_variable_get("@b") #=> 99
Sets the instance variable named by symbol to the given object, thereby frustrating the efforts of the class’s author to attempt to provide proper encapsulation. The variable does not have to exist prior to this call. If the instance variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog') #=> "dog" fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat') #=> "cat" fred.inspect #=> "#<Fred:0x401b3da8 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">"
Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Removes the named instance variable from obj, returning that variable’s value. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Dummy attr_reader :var def initialize @var = 99 end def remove remove_instance_variable(:@var) end end d = Dummy.new d.var #=> 99 d.remove #=> 99 d.var #=> nil
Re-composes a prime factorization and returns the product.
See Prime#int_from_prime_division
for more details.
Returns a list of the private instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false
, the methods of any ancestors are not included.
module Mod def method1() end private :method1 def method2() end end Mod.instance_methods #=> [:method2] Mod.private_instance_methods #=> [:method1]
Returns the Ruby source filename and line number containing first definition of constant specified. If the named constant is not found, nil
is returned. If the constant is found, but its source location can not be extracted (constant is defined in C code), empty array is returned.
inherit specifies whether to lookup in mod.ancestors
(true
by default).
# test.rb: class A C1 = 1 end module M C2 = 2 end class B < A include M C3 = 3 end class A # continuation of A definition end p B.const_source_location('C3') # => ["test.rb", 11] p B.const_source_location('C2') # => ["test.rb", 6] p B.const_source_location('C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] p B.const_source_location('C2', false) # => nil -- don't lookup in ancestors p Object.const_source_location('B') # => ["test.rb", 9] p Object.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- note it is first entry, not "continuation" p B.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- because Object is in ancestors p M.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- Object is not ancestor, but additionally checked for modules p Object.const_source_location('A::C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] -- nesting is supported p Object.const_source_location('String') # => [] -- constant is defined in C code
Removes the definition of the sym, returning that constant’s value.
class Dummy @@var = 99 puts @@var remove_class_variable(:@@var) p(defined? @@var) end
produces:
99 nil
Returns the value of the given class variable (or throws a NameError
exception). The @@
part of the variable name should be included for regular class variables. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_get(:@@foo) #=> 99
