Returns the binding associated with prc.
def fred(param) proc {} end b = fred(99) eval("param", b.binding) #=> 99
returns main ractor
Returns the main thread.
Terminates thr and schedules another thread to be run, returning the terminated Thread. If this is the main thread, or the last thread, exits the process.
Return the generated binding object from event.
Note that for c_call and c_return events, the binding returned is the binding of the nearest Ruby method calling the C method, since C methods themselves do not have bindings.
Returns a Binding object, describing the variable and method bindings at the point of call. This object can be used when calling eval to execute the evaluated command in this environment. See also the description of class Binding.
def get_binding(param) binding end b = get_binding("hello") eval("param", b) #=> "hello"
Returns the element with the minimum element according to a given criterion. The ordering of equal elements is indeterminate and may be unstable.
With no argument and no block, returns the minimum element, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).min # => 1 (-4..-1).min # => -4 %w[d c b a].min # => "a" {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min # => [:bar, 1] [].min # => nil
With positive integer argument n given, and no block, returns an array containing the first n minimum elements that exist:
(1..4).min(2) # => [1, 2] (-4..-1).min(2) # => [-4, -3] %w[d c b a].min(2) # => ["a", "b"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.min(2) # => [[:bar, 1], [:baz, 2]] [].min(2) # => []
With a block given, the block determines the minimum elements. The block is called with two elements a and b, and must return:
A negative integer if a < b.
Zero if a == b.
A positive integer if a > b.
With a block given and no argument, returns the minimum element as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].min {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => "x" h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.min {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [:foo, 0] [].min {|a, b| a <=> b } # => nil
With a block given and positive integer argument n given, returns an array containing the first n minimum elements that exist, as determined by the block.
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].min(2) {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["x", "xx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.min(2) {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]] [].min(2) {|a, b| a <=> b } # => []
Returns the element with the maximum element according to a given criterion. The ordering of equal elements is indeterminate and may be unstable.
With no argument and no block, returns the maximum element, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).max # => 4 (-4..-1).max # => -1 %w[d c b a].max # => "d" {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.max # => [:foo, 0] [].max # => nil
With positive integer argument n given, and no block, returns an array containing the first n maximum elements that exist:
(1..4).max(2) # => [4, 3] (-4..-1).max(2) # => [-1, -2] %w[d c b a].max(2) # => ["d", "c"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.max(2) # => [[:foo, 0], [:baz, 2]] [].max(2) # => []
With a block given, the block determines the maximum elements. The block is called with two elements a and b, and must return:
A negative integer if a < b.
Zero if a == b.
A positive integer if a > b.
With a block given and no argument, returns the maximum element as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].max {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => "xxxx" h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.max {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [:baz, 2] [].max {|a, b| a <=> b } # => nil
With a block given and positive integer argument n given, returns an array containing the first n maximum elements that exist, as determined by the block.
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].max(2) {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["xxxx", "xxx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.max(2) {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:baz, 2], [:bar, 1]] [].max(2) {|a, b| a <=> b } # => []
Returns the maximum number of gids allowed in the supplemental group access list.
Process.maxgroups #=> 32
Sets the maximum number of gids allowed in the supplemental group access list.
Returns true if and only if the scan pointer is at the beginning of the line.
s = StringScanner.new("test\ntest\n") s.bol? # => true s.scan(/te/) s.bol? # => false s.scan(/st\n/) s.bol? # => true s.terminate s.bol? # => true
Terminate the application with exit code status, running any exit handlers that might have been defined.
Terminates the RubyGems process with the given exit_code
Returns the index of a specified element.
When argument object is given but no block, returns the index of the first element element for which object == element:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.index('bar') # => 1
Returns nil if no such element found.
When both argument object and a block are given, calls the block with each successive element; returns the index of the first element for which the block returns a truthy value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.index {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 1
Returns nil if the block never returns a truthy value.
When neither an argument nor a block is given, returns a new Enumerator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] e = a.index e # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:index> e.each {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 1
Array#find_index is an alias for Array#index.

Invoked when a reference is made to an undefined constant in mod. It is passed a symbol for the undefined constant, and returns a value to be used for that constant. The following code is an example of the same:
def Foo.const_missing(name) name # return the constant name as Symbol end Foo::UNDEFINED_CONST #=> :UNDEFINED_CONST: symbol returned
In the next example when a reference is made to an undefined constant, it attempts to load a file whose name is the lowercase version of the constant (thus class Fred is assumed to be in file fred.rb). If found, it returns the loaded class. It therefore implements an autoload feature similar to Kernel#autoload and Module#autoload.
def Object.const_missing(name) @looked_for ||= {} str_name = name.to_s raise "Class not found: #{name}" if @looked_for[str_name] @looked_for[str_name] = 1 file = str_name.downcase require file klass = const_get(name) return klass if klass raise "Class not found: #{name}" end
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
creates an Addrinfo object from the arguments.
The arguments are interpreted as similar to self.
Addrinfo.tcp("0.0.0.0", 4649).family_addrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) #=> #<Addrinfo: 221.186.184.68:80 TCP (www.ruby-lang.org:80)> Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock").family_addrinfo("/tmp/sock2") #=> #<Addrinfo: /tmp/sock2 SOCK_STREAM>
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
Calls WIN32OLE#invoke method.
Returns the method kind string. The string is “UNKNOWN” or “PROPERTY” or “PROPERTY” or “PROPERTYGET” or “PROPERTYPUT” or “PROPERTYPPUTREF” or “FUNC”.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add') puts method.invoke_kind # => "FUNC"
Returns value specified by the member name of VT_RECORD OLE variable. Or sets value specified by the member name of VT_RECORD OLE variable. If the member name is not correct, KeyError exception is raised.
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
End Class
Then getting/setting value from Ruby is as the following:
obj = WIN32OLE.new('ComServer.ComClass') book = WIN32OLE_RECORD.new('Book', obj) book.title # => nil ( book.method_missing(:title) is invoked. ) book.title = "Ruby" # ( book.method_missing(:title=, "Ruby") is invoked. )
