BasicSpecification is an abstract class which implements some common code used by both Specification and StubSpecification.

Base class for all Gem commands. When creating a new gem command, define initialize, execute, arguments, defaults_str, description and usage (as appropriate). See the above mentioned methods for details.

A very good example to look at is Gem::Commands::ContentsCommand

Potentially raised when a specification is validated.

Raised by Gem::Validator when something is not right in a gem.

Raised by Resolver when a dependency requests a gem for which there is no spec.

Gem::PathSupport facilitates the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment settings to the rest of RubyGems.

Available list of platforms for targeting Gem installations.

See ‘gem help platform` for information on platform matching.

The Specification class contains the information for a gem. Typically defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:

Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  s.name        = 'example'
  s.version     = '0.1.0'
  s.licenses    = ['MIT']
  s.summary     = "This is an example!"
  s.description = "Much longer explanation of the example!"
  s.authors     = ["Ruby Coder"]
  s.email       = 'rubycoder@example.com'
  s.files       = ["lib/example.rb"]
  s.homepage    = 'https://rubygems.org/gems/example'
  s.metadata    = { "source_code_uri" => "https://github.com/example/example" }
end

Starting in RubyGems 2.0, a Specification can hold arbitrary metadata. See metadata for restrictions on the format and size of metadata items you may add to a specification.

Gem::StubSpecification reads the stub: line from the gemspec. This prevents us having to eval the entire gemspec in order to find out certain information.

Validator performs various gem file and gem database validation

RFC6068, the mailto URL scheme.

Raised when a mathematical function is evaluated outside of its domain of definition.

For example, since cos returns values in the range -1..1, its inverse function acos is only defined on that interval:

Math.acos(42)

produces:

Math::DomainError: Numerical argument is out of domain - "acos"

Process::Status encapsulates the information on the status of a running or terminated system process. The built-in variable $? is either nil or a Process::Status object.

fork { exit 99 }   #=> 26557
Process.wait       #=> 26557
$?.class           #=> Process::Status
$?.to_i            #=> 25344
$? >> 8            #=> 99
$?.stopped?        #=> false
$?.exited?         #=> true
$?.exitstatus      #=> 99

Posix systems record information on processes using a 16-bit integer. The lower bits record the process status (stopped, exited, signaled) and the upper bits possibly contain additional information (for example the program’s return code in the case of exited processes). Pre Ruby 1.8, these bits were exposed directly to the Ruby program. Ruby now encapsulates these in a Process::Status object. To maximize compatibility, however, these objects retain a bit-oriented interface. In the descriptions that follow, when we talk about the integer value of stat, we’re referring to this 16 bit value.

This module contains configuration information about the SSL extension, for example if socket support is enabled, or the host name TLS extension is enabled. Constants in this module will always be defined, but contain true or false values depending on the configuration of your OpenSSL installation.
