Add option switch and handler. See make_switch for an explanation of parameters.
Parses environment variable env or its uppercase with splitting like a shell.
env defaults to the basename of the program.
Returns a printable version of mtch.
puts /.$/.match("foo").inspect #=> #<MatchData "o"> puts /(.)(.)(.)/.match("foo").inspect #=> #<MatchData "foo" 1:"f" 2:"o" 3:"o"> puts /(.)(.)?(.)/.match("fo").inspect #=> #<MatchData "fo" 1:"f" 2:nil 3:"o"> puts /(?<foo>.)(?<bar>.)(?<baz>.)/.match("hoge").inspect #=> #<MatchData "hog" foo:"h" bar:"o" baz:"g">
Unlinks (deletes) the file from the filesystem. One should always unlink the file after using it, as is explained in the “Explicit close” good practice section in the Tempfile overview:
file = Tempfile.new('foo') begin # ...do something with file... ensure file.close file.unlink # deletes the temp file end
On POSIX systems it’s possible to unlink a file before closing it. This practice is explained in detail in the Tempfile overview (section “Unlink after creation”); please refer there for more information.
However, unlink-before-close may not be supported on non-POSIX operating systems. Microsoft Windows is the most notable case: unlinking a non-closed file will result in an error, which this method will silently ignore. If you want to practice unlink-before-close whenever possible, then you should write code like this:
file = Tempfile.new('foo') file.unlink # On Windows this silently fails. begin # ... do something with file ... ensure file.close! # Closes the file handle. If the file wasn't unlinked # because #unlink failed, then this method will attempt # to do so again. end
The string representation of true is “true”.
The string representation of false is “false”.
Returns the unique identifier for this proc, along with an indication of where the proc was defined.
The reason this block was terminated: :break, :redo, :retry, :next, :return, or :noreason.
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns a human-readable description of the underlying method.
"cat".method(:count).inspect #=> "#<Method: String#count(*)>" (1..3).method(:map).inspect #=> "#<Method: Range(Enumerable)#map()>"
In the latter case, the method description includes the “owner” of the original method (Enumerable module, which is included into Range).
inspect also provides, when possible, method argument names (call sequence) and source location.
require 'net/http' Net::HTTP.method(:get).inspect #=> "#<Method: Net::HTTP.get(uri_or_host, path=..., port=...) <skip>/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/http.rb:457>"
... in argument definition means argument is optional (has some default value).
For methods defined in C (language core and extensions), location and argument names can’t be extracted, and only generic information is provided in form of * (any number of arguments) or _ (some positional argument).
"cat".method(:count).inspect #=> "#<Method: String#count(*)>" "cat".method(:+).inspect #=> "#<Method: String#+(_)>""
Dissociates meth from its current receiver. The resulting UnboundMethod can subsequently be bound to a new object of the same class (see UnboundMethod).
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns a human-readable description of the underlying method.
"cat".method(:count).inspect #=> "#<Method: String#count(*)>" (1..3).method(:map).inspect #=> "#<Method: Range(Enumerable)#map()>"
In the latter case, the method description includes the “owner” of the original method (Enumerable module, which is included into Range).
inspect also provides, when possible, method argument names (call sequence) and source location.
require 'net/http' Net::HTTP.method(:get).inspect #=> "#<Method: Net::HTTP.get(uri_or_host, path=..., port=...) <skip>/lib/ruby/2.7.0/net/http.rb:457>"

Wakes up thr, making it eligible for scheduling.
a = Thread.new { puts "a"; Thread.stop; puts "c" } sleep 0.1 while a.status!='sleep' puts "Got here" a.run a.join
This will produce:
a Got here c
See also the instance method wakeup.
Returns the priority of thr. Default is inherited from the current thread which creating the new thread, or zero for the initial main thread; higher-priority thread will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).
This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.
Thread.current.priority #=> 0
Sets the priority of thr to integer. Higher-priority threads will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).
This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.
count1 = count2 = 0 a = Thread.new do loop { count1 += 1 } end a.priority = -1 b = Thread.new do loop { count2 += 1 } end b.priority = -2 sleep 1 #=> 1 count1 #=> 622504 count2 #=> 5832
Dump the name, id, and status of thr to a string.
Prevents threads from being added to or removed from the receiving ThreadGroup.
New threads can still be started in an enclosed ThreadGroup.
ThreadGroup::Default.enclose #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x4029d914> thr = Thread.new { Thread.stop } #=> #<Thread:0x402a7210 sleep> tg = ThreadGroup.new #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x402752d4> tg.add thr #=> ThreadError: can't move from the enclosed thread group
Returns true if the thgrp is enclosed. See also ThreadGroup#enclose.
Releases the lock. Raises ThreadError if mutex wasn’t locked by the current thread.
Return a string containing a human-readable TracePoint status.
If object is string-like, parse the string and return the parsed result as a Ruby data structure. Otherwise, generate a JSON text from the Ruby data structure object and return it.
The opts argument is passed through to generate/parse respectively. See generate and parse for their documentation.
Returns the number of items in enum through enumeration. If an argument is given, the number of items in enum that are equal to item are counted. If a block is given, it counts the number of elements yielding a true value.
ary = [1, 2, 4, 2] ary.count #=> 4 ary.count(2) #=> 2 ary.count{ |x| x%2==0 } #=> 3
Passes each entry in enum to block. Returns the first for which block is not false. If no object matches, calls ifnone and returns its result when it is specified, or returns nil otherwise.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
(1..100).detect #=> #<Enumerator: 1..100:detect> (1..100).find #=> #<Enumerator: 1..100:find> (1..10).detect { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> nil (1..10).find { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> nil (1..10).detect(-> {0}) { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> 0 (1..10).find(-> {0}) { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> 0 (1..100).detect { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> 35 (1..100).find { |i| i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 } #=> 35
Returns an array for all elements of enum for which the given block returns false.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
(1..10).reject { |i| i % 3 == 0 } #=> [1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].reject { |num| num.even? } #=> [1, 3, 5]
