Returns system temporary directory; typically “/tmp”.
Returns system configuration variable using confstr().
name should be a constant under Etc which begins with CS_.
The return value is a string or nil. nil means no configuration-defined value. (confstr() returns 0 but errno is not set.)
Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_PATH) #=> "/bin:/usr/bin" # GNU/Linux Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION) #=> "glibc 2.18" Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION) #=> "NPTL 2.18"
Returns the number of online processors.
The result is intended as the number of processes to use all available processors.
This method is implemented using:
sched_getaffinity(): Linux
sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN): GNU/Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana, Mac OS X, AIX
Example:
require 'etc' p Etc.nprocessors #=> 4
The result might be smaller number than physical cpus especially when ruby process is bound to specific cpus. This is intended for getting better parallel processing.
Example: (Linux)
linux$ taskset 0x3 ./ruby -retc -e "p Etc.nprocessors" #=> 2
Change the size of the memory allocated at the memory location addr to size bytes. Returns the memory address of the reallocated memory, which may be different than the address passed in.
Free the memory at address addr

Any errors you see here are probably due to a bug in Ruby’s OpenSSL implementation.
Shows the prompt and reads the inputted line with line editing. The inputted line is added to the history if add_hist is true.
Returns nil when the inputted line is empty and user inputs EOF (Presses ^D on UNIX).
Raises IOError exception if one of below conditions are satisfied.
stdin was closed.
stdout was closed.
This method supports thread. Switches the thread context when waits inputting line.
Supports line edit when inputs line. Provides VI and Emacs editing mode. Default is Emacs editing mode.
NOTE: Terminates ruby interpreter and does not return the terminal status after user pressed ‘^C’ when wait inputting line. Give 3 examples that avoid it.
Catches the Interrupt exception by pressed ^C after returns terminal status:
require "readline"
stty_save = `stty -g`.chomp
begin
while buf = Readline.readline
p buf
end
rescue Interrupt
system("stty", stty_save)
exit
end
end
end
Catches the INT signal by pressed ^C after returns terminal status:
require "readline" stty_save = `stty -g`.chomp trap("INT") { system "stty", stty_save; exit } while buf = Readline.readline p buf end
Ignores pressing ^C:
require "readline" trap("INT", "SIG_IGN") while buf = Readline.readline p buf end
Can make as follows with Readline::HISTORY constant. It does not record to the history if the inputted line is empty or the same it as last one.
require "readline" while buf = Readline.readline("> ", true) # p Readline::HISTORY.to_a Readline::HISTORY.pop if /^\s*$/ =~ buf begin if Readline::HISTORY[Readline::HISTORY.length-2] == buf Readline::HISTORY.pop end rescue IndexError end # p Readline::HISTORY.to_a print "-> ", buf, "\n" end
Change what’s displayed on the screen to reflect the current contents.
See GNU Readline’s rl_redisplay function.
Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.
