Returns a File::Stat object for the named file (see File::Stat).
File.stat("testfile").mtime #=> Tue Apr 08 12:58:04 CDT 2003
Same as File::stat, but does not follow the last symbolic link. Instead, reports on the link itself.
File.symlink("testfile", "link2test") #=> 0 File.stat("testfile").size #=> 66 File.lstat("link2test").size #=> 8 File.stat("link2test").size #=> 66
Same as IO#stat, but does not follow the last symbolic link. Instead, reports on the link itself.
File.symlink("testfile", "link2test") #=> 0 File.stat("testfile").size #=> 66 f = File.new("link2test") f.lstat.size #=> 8 f.stat.size #=> 66
Return the status value associated with this system exit.
Returns a hash of parsed elements.
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some RFC 2616 format.
Date.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 00:00:00 GMT') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Returns true if the date is Saturday.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%a, %d %b %Y %T GMT’). See also RFC 2616.
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some RFC 2616 format.
DateTime.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 04:05:06 GMT') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+00:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Parses date as an HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a Time object.
ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with RFC 2616 or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.
See httpdate for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.httpdate("Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT") #=> 2011-10-06 02:26:12 UTC
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as RFC 1123 date of HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss GMT
Note that the result is always UTC (GMT).
require 'time' t = Time.now t.httpdate # => "Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns true if time represents Saturday.
t = Time.local(2006, 6, 10) #=> 2006-06-10 00:00:00 -0500 t.saturday? #=> true
Updates the database with multiple values from the specified object. Takes any object which implements the each_pair method, including Hash and DBM objects.
Returns status information for ios as an object of type File::Stat.
f = File.new("testfile") s = f.stat "%o" % s.mode #=> "100644" s.blksize #=> 4096 s.atime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:54 CDT 2003
Adds the key-value pairs of other to gdbm, overwriting entries with duplicate keys with those from other. other must have an each_pair method.
See File.lstat.
Return scanner state of current token.
Merges each of other_hashes into self; returns self.
Each argument in other_hashes must be a Hash.
Method update is an alias for #merge!.
With arguments and no block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged into it.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new entry is added at the end.
Each duplicate-key entry’s value overwrites the previous value.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h.merge!(h1, h2) # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>4, :baz=>2, :bat=>6, :bam=>5}
With arguments and a block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new-key entry is added at the end.
For each duplicate key:
Calls the block with the key and the old and new values.
The block’s return value becomes the new value for the entry.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h3 = h.merge!(h1, h2) { |key, old_value, new_value| old_value + new_value } h3 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>5, :baz=>2, :bat=>9, :bam=>5}
With no arguments:
Returns self, unmodified.
The block, if given, is ignored.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.merge # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2} h1 = h.merge! { |key, old_value, new_value| raise 'Cannot happen' } h1 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}
ENV.update is an alias for ENV.merge!.
Adds to ENV each key/value pair in the given hash; returns ENV:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.merge!('baz' => '2', 'bat' => '3') # => {"bar"=>"1", "bat"=>"3", "baz"=>"2", "foo"=>"0"}
Deletes the ENV entry for a hash value that is nil:
ENV.merge!('baz' => nil, 'bat' => nil) # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
For an already-existing name, if no block given, overwrites the ENV value:
ENV.merge!('foo' => '4') # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"4"}
For an already-existing name, if block given, yields the name, its ENV value, and its hash value; the block’s return value becomes the new name:
ENV.merge!('foo' => '5') { |name, env_val, hash_val | env_val + hash_val } # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"45"}
Raises an exception if a name or value is invalid (see Invalid Names and Values);
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.merge!('foo' => '6', :bar => '7', 'baz' => '9') # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Symbol into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"6"} ENV.merge!('foo' => '7', 'bar' => 8, 'baz' => '9') # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Integer into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"7"}
Raises an exception if the block returns an invalid name: (see Invalid Names and Values):
ENV.merge!('bat' => '8', 'foo' => '9') { |name, env_val, hash_val | 10 } # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Integer into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "bat"=>"8", "foo"=>"7"}
Note that for the exceptions above, hash pairs preceding an invalid name or value are processed normally; those following are ignored.
Returns true iff the current severity level allows for the printing of FATAL messages.
Sets the severity to FATAL.
Returns true if this is a permutation matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.
