Sets the list of characters that are word break characters, but should be left in text when it is passed to the completion function. Programs can use this to help determine what kind of completing to do. For instance, Bash sets this variable to “$@” so that it can complete shell variables and hostnames.
See GNU Readline’s rl_special_prefixes variable.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Returns the table for calculating CRC checksum as an array.
Returns true if the named file is readable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not readable by the real user/group.
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
The version of the Marshal format for your Ruby.
Start a dRuby server locally.
The new dRuby server will become the primary server, even if another server is currently the primary server.
uri is the URI for the server to bind to. If nil, the server will bind to random port on the default local host name and use the default dRuby protocol.
front is the server’s front object. This may be nil.
config is the configuration for the new server. This may be nil.
See DRbServer::new.

Returns an Array of methods names which have the option opt.
p FileUtils.collect_method(:preserve) #=> ["cp", "cp_r", "copy", "install"]
Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names, instance variable names, or constant names (see def_delegator). The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.
Searches for the executable bin on path. The default path is your PATH environment variable. If that isn’t defined, it will resort to searching /usr/local/bin, /usr/ucb, /usr/bin and /bin.
If found, it will return the full path, including the executable name, of where it was found.
Note that this method does not actually affect the generated Makefile.
Open3.pipeline_start starts a list of commands as a pipeline. No pipes are created for stdin of the first command and stdout of the last command.
Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts]) {|wait_threads|
...
}
wait_threads = Open3.pipeline_start(cmd1, cmd2, ... [, opts])

Each cmd is a string or an array. If it is an array, the elements are passed to Process.spawn.
cmd: commandline command line string which is passed to a shell [env, commandline, opts] command line string which is passed to a shell [env, cmdname, arg1, ..., opts] command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [env, [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ..., opts] command name and arguments including argv[0] (no shell) Note that env and opts are optional, as for Process.spawn.
Example:
# Run xeyes in 10 seconds. Open3.pipeline_start("xeyes") {|ts| sleep 10 t = ts[0] Process.kill("TERM", t.pid) p t.value #=> #<Process::Status: pid 911 SIGTERM (signal 15)> } # Convert pdf to ps and send it to a printer. # Collect error message of pdftops and lpr. pdf_file = "paper.pdf" printer = "printer-name" err_r, err_w = IO.pipe Open3.pipeline_start(["pdftops", pdf_file, "-"], ["lpr", "-P#{printer}"], :err=>err_w) {|ts| err_w.close p err_r.read # error messages of pdftops and lpr. }

Returns the status of the last executed child process in the current thread.
Process.wait Process.spawn("ruby", "-e", "exit 13") Process.last_status #=> #<Process::Status: pid 4825 exit 13>
If no child process has ever been executed in the current thread, this returns nil.
Process.last_status #=> nil
