Returns true for IPv6 multicast address (ff00::/8). It returns false otherwise.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the file. If the stream is write mode and no encoding is specified, returns nil.
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
Specify the encoding of the StringIO as ext_enc. Use the default external encoding if ext_enc is nil. 2nd argument int_enc and optional hash opt argument are ignored; they are for API compatibility to IO.
Tests whether the given pattern is matched from the current scan pointer. Advances the scan pointer if advance_pointer_p is true. Returns the matched string if return_string_p is true. The match register is affected.
“full” means “#scan with full parameters”.
Scans the string until the pattern is matched. Advances the scan pointer if advance_pointer_p, otherwise not. Returns the matched string if return_string_p is true, otherwise returns the number of bytes advanced. This method does affect the match register.
Returns the external encoding for files read from ARGF as an Encoding object. The external encoding is the encoding of the text as stored in a file. Contrast with ARGF.internal_encoding, which is the encoding used to represent this text within Ruby.
To set the external encoding use ARGF.set_encoding.
For example:
ARGF.external_encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF as an Encoding object.
If ARGF.set_encoding has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil is returned.
If single argument is specified, strings read from ARGF are tagged with the encoding specified.
If two encoding names separated by a colon are given, e.g. “ascii:utf-8”, the read string is converted from the first encoding (external encoding) to the second encoding (internal encoding), then tagged with the second encoding.
If two arguments are specified, they must be encoding objects or encoding names. Again, the first specifies the external encoding; the second specifies the internal encoding.
If the external encoding and the internal encoding are specified, the optional Hash argument can be used to adjust the conversion process. The structure of this hash is explained in the String#encode documentation.
For example:
ARGF.set_encoding('ascii') # Tag the input as US-ASCII text ARGF.set_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # Tag the input as UTF-8 text ARGF.set_encoding('utf-8','ascii') # Transcode the input from US-ASCII # to UTF-8.
Returns the encoding of the internal IO object.
Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ protected methods.
The returned Enumerator uses the block to partition elements into arrays (“chunks”); it calls the block with each element and its successor; begins a new chunk if and only if the block returns a truthy value:
Example:
a = [1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21] e = a.chunk_while {|i, j| j == i + 1 } e.each {|array| p array }
Output:
[1, 2] [4] [9, 10, 11, 12] [15, 16] [19, 20, 21]
Enters exclusive section.
Leaves exclusive section.
Returns true if this monitor is locked by any thread
Returns true if this monitor is locked by current thread.
Counts nodes for each node type.
This method is only for MRI developers interested in performance and memory usage of Ruby programs.
It returns a hash as:
{:NODE_METHOD=>2027, :NODE_FBODY=>1927, :NODE_CFUNC=>1798, ...}
If the optional argument, result_hash, is given, it is overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid probe effect.
Note: The contents of the returned hash is implementation defined. It may be changed in future.
This method is only expected to work with C Ruby.
Returns the Base64-decoded version of str. This method complies with RFC 4648. ArgumentError is raised if str is incorrectly padded or contains non-alphabet characters. Note that CR or LF are also rejected.
Returns the Base64-encoded version of bin. This method complies with “Base 64 Encoding with URL and Filename Safe Alphabet” in RFC 4648. The alphabet uses ‘-’ instead of ‘+’ and ‘_’ instead of ‘/’. Note that the result can still contain ‘=’. You can remove the padding by setting padding as false.
Takes a hash as its argument. The key is a symbol or an array of symbols. These symbols correspond to method names, instance variable names, or constant names (see def_delegator). The value is the accessor to which the methods will be delegated.
Tests for the presence of an --enable-config or --disable-config option. Returns true if the enable option is given, false if the disable option is given, and the default value otherwise.
This can be useful for adding custom definitions, such as debug information.
Example:
if enable_config("debug") $defs.push("-DOSSL_DEBUG") unless $defs.include? "-DOSSL_DEBUG" end
