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 true if the named file is writable 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 writable 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"
Returns true if the named file is executable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Windows does not support execute permissions separately from read permissions. On Windows, a file is only considered executable if it ends in .bat, .cmd, .com, or .exe.
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not executable by the real user/group.
Returns the Base64-encoded version of bin. This method complies with RFC 4648. No line feeds are added.
Returns the Base64-decoded version of str. This method complies with RFC 4648. ArgumentError is raised if str is incorrectly padded or contains non-alphabet characters. Note that CR or LF are also rejected.
Adds a post-build hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer instance when Gem::Installer#install is called. The hook is called after the gem has been extracted and extensions have been built but before the executables or gemspec has been written. If the hook returns false then the gem’s files will be removed and the install will be aborted.
Adds a post-installs hook that will be passed a Gem::DependencyInstaller and a list of installed specifications when Gem::DependencyInstaller#install is complete
Safely read a file in binary mode on all platforms.
Is this a windows platform?
Is this a java platform?
Looks for a gem dependency file at path and activates the gems in the file if found. If the file is not found an ArgumentError is raised.
If path is not given the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable is used, but if no file is found no exception is raised.
If ‘-’ is given for path RubyGems searches up from the current working directory for gem dependency files (gem.deps.rb, Gemfile, Isolate) and activates the gems in the first one found.
You can run this automatically when rubygems starts. To enable, set the RUBYGEMS_GEMDEPS environment variable to either the path of your gem dependencies file or “-” to auto-discover in parent directories.
NOTE: Enabling automatic discovery on multiuser systems can lead to execution of arbitrary code when used from directories outside your control.
Default options for gem commands for Ruby implementers.
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.platform_defaults
{
'install' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang',
'update' => '--no-rdoc --no-ri --env-shebang'
}
end
Allows toggling Windows behavior. This method is available when requiring ‘rubygems/test_case’
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.

Get the ‘current’ server.
In the context of execution taking place within the main thread of a dRuby server (typically, as a result of a remote call on the server or one of its objects), the current server is that server. Otherwise, the current server is the primary server.
If the above rule fails to find a server, a DRbServerNotFound error is raised.
