WIN32OLE_METHOD objects represent OLE method information.

WIN32OLE_PARAM objects represent param information of the OLE method.

WIN32OLE_RECORD objects represents VT_RECORD OLE variant. Win32OLE returns WIN32OLE_RECORD object if the result value of invoking OLE methods.

If COM server in VB.NET ComServer project is the following:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class ComClass
    Public Structure Book
        <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)> _
        Public title As String
        Public cost As Integer
    End Structure
    Public Function getBook() As Book
        Dim book As New Book
        book.title = "The Ruby Book"
        book.cost = 20
        Return book
    End Function
End Class

then, you can retrieve getBook return value from the following Ruby script:

require 'win32ole'
obj = WIN32OLE.new('ComServer.ComClass')
book = obj.getBook
book.class # => WIN32OLE_RECORD
book.title # => "The Ruby Book"
book.cost  # => 20

WIN32OLE_TYPE objects represent OLE type libarary information.

WIN32OLE_TYPELIB objects represent OLE tyblib information.

Enumerator::Chain is a subclass of Enumerator, which represents a chain of enumerables that works as a single enumerator.

This type of objects can be created by Enumerable#chain and Enumerator#+.

Enumerator::ArithmeticSequence is a subclass of Enumerator, that is a representation of sequences of numbers with common difference. Instances of this class can be generated by the Range#step and Numeric#step methods.

The class can be used for slicing Array (see Array#slice) or custom collections.

Fiddle::Pointer is a class to handle C pointers

FIXME: This isn’t documented in Nutshell.

Since MonitorMixin.new_cond returns a ConditionVariable, and the example above calls while_wait and signal, this class should be documented.

This class is used as a return value from ObjectSpace::reachable_objects_from.

When ObjectSpace::reachable_objects_from returns an object with references to an internal object, an instance of this class is returned.

You can use the type method to check the type of the internal object.

OpenSSL::Digest allows you to compute message digests (sometimes interchangeably called “hashes”) of arbitrary data that are cryptographically secure, i.e. a Digest implements a secure one-way function.

One-way functions offer some useful properties. E.g. given two distinct inputs the probability that both yield the same output is highly unlikely. Combined with the fact that every message digest algorithm has a fixed-length output of just a few bytes, digests are often used to create unique identifiers for arbitrary data. A common example is the creation of a unique id for binary documents that are stored in a database.

Another useful characteristic of one-way functions (and thus the name) is that given a digest there is no indication about the original data that produced it, i.e. the only way to identify the original input is to “brute-force” through every possible combination of inputs.

These characteristics make one-way functions also ideal companions for public key signature algorithms: instead of signing an entire document, first a hash of the document is produced with a considerably faster message digest algorithm and only the few bytes of its output need to be signed using the slower public key algorithm. To validate the integrity of a signed document, it suffices to re-compute the hash and verify that it is equal to that in the signature.

You can get a list of all digest algorithms supported on your system by running this command in your terminal:

openssl list -digest-algorithms

Among the OpenSSL 1.1.1 supported message digest algorithms are:

• SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA512-224 and SHA512-256

• SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384 and SHA3-512

• BLAKE2s256 and BLAKE2b512

Each of these algorithms can be instantiated using the name:

digest = OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256')

“Breaking” a message digest algorithm means defying its one-way function characteristics, i.e. producing a collision or finding a way to get to the original data by means that are more efficient than brute-forcing etc. Most of the supported digest algorithms can be considered broken in this sense, even the very popular MD5 and SHA1 algorithms. Should security be your highest concern, then you should probably rely on SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 or SHA512.

Hashing a file

data = File.read('document')
sha256 = OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256')
digest = sha256.digest(data)

Hashing several pieces of data at once

data1 = File.read('file1')
data2 = File.read('file2')
data3 = File.read('file3')
sha256 = OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256')
sha256 << data1
sha256 << data2
sha256 << data3
digest = sha256.digest

Reuse a Digest instance

data1 = File.read('file1')
sha256 = OpenSSL::Digest.new('SHA256')
digest1 = sha256.digest(data1)

data2 = File.read('file2')
sha256.reset
digest2 = sha256.digest(data2)

This class works in conjunction with Psych::Parser to build an in-memory parse tree that represents a YAML document.

Example

parser = Psych::Parser.new Psych::TreeBuilder.new
parser.parse('--- foo')
tree = parser.handler.root

See Psych::Handler for documentation on the event methods used in this class.

Subclass of Zlib::Error. This error is raised when the zlib stream is currently in progress.

For example:

inflater = Zlib::Inflate.new
inflater.inflate(compressed) do
  inflater.inflate(compressed) # Raises Zlib::InProgressError
end

Zlib:Inflate is the class for decompressing compressed data. Unlike Zlib::Deflate, an instance of this class is not able to duplicate (clone, dup) itself.

Zlib::GzipWriter is a class for writing gzipped files. GzipWriter should be used with an instance of IO, or IO-like, object.

Following two example generate the same result.

Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
end

File.open('hoge.gz', 'w') do |f|
  gz = Zlib::GzipWriter.new(f)
  gz.write 'jugemu jugemu gokou no surikire...'
  gz.close
end

To make like gzip(1) does, run following:

orig = 'hoge.txt'
Zlib::GzipWriter.open('hoge.gz') do |gz|
  gz.mtime = File.mtime(orig)
  gz.orig_name = orig
  gz.write IO.binread(orig)
end

NOTE: Due to the limitation of Ruby’s finalizer, you must explicitly close GzipWriter objects by Zlib::GzipWriter#close etc. Otherwise, GzipWriter will be not able to write the gzip footer and will generate a broken gzip file.

Objects of class File::Stat encapsulate common status information for File objects. The information is recorded at the moment the File::Stat object is created; changes made to the file after that point will not be reflected. File::Stat objects are returned by IO#stat, File::stat, File#lstat, and File::lstat. Many of these methods return platform-specific values, and not all values are meaningful on all systems. See also Kernel#test.
