Returns true if the named file is writable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not writable by the real user/group.
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Returns true if the named file is executable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Windows does not support execute permissions separately from read permissions. On Windows, a file is only considered executable if it ends in .bat, .cmd, .com, or .exe.
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not executable by the real user/group.
Returns default external encoding.
The default external encoding is used by default for strings created from the following locations:
File data read from disk
SDBM
While strings created from these locations will have this encoding, the encoding may not be valid. Be sure to check String#valid_encoding?.
File data written to disk will be transcoded to the default external encoding when written, if default_internal is not nil.
The default external encoding is initialized by the -E option. If -E isn’t set, it is initialized to UTF-8 on Windows and the locale on other operating systems.
Sets default external encoding. You should not set Encoding::default_external in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the value was changed., instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_external.
See Encoding::default_external for information on how the default external encoding is used.
Returns default internal encoding. Strings will be transcoded to the default internal encoding in the following places if the default internal encoding is not nil:
File data read from disk
Strings returned from Readline
Strings returned from SDBM
Values from ENV
Values in ARGV including $PROGRAM_NAME
Additionally String#encode and String#encode! use the default internal encoding if no encoding is given.
The script encoding (__ENCODING__), not default_internal, is used as the encoding of created strings.
Encoding::default_internal is initialized with -E option or nil otherwise.
Sets default internal encoding or removes default internal encoding when passed nil. You should not set Encoding::default_internal in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the change. Instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_internal.
See Encoding::default_internal for information on how the default internal encoding is used.
Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.
Debian GNU/Linux LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968" LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "EUC-JP" SunOS 5 LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "646" LANG=ja Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "eucJP"
The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap) may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find(“locale”) can be used.
Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.
Internal use only.
Returns the number of digits a Float object is allowed to have; the result is system-dependent:
BigDecimal.double_fig # => 16
Synonym for ENV.
Returns true if the given year is a leap year of the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
Date.gregorian_leap?(1900) #=> false Date.gregorian_leap?(2000) #=> true
Waits until IO is readable and returns true, or false when times out. Returns true immediately when buffered data is available.
Waits until IO is writable and returns true or false when times out.
Passes the Integer ordinal of each character in ios, passing the codepoint as an argument. The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
Removes the named field from the object and returns the value the field contained if it was defined. You may optionally provide a block. If the field is not defined, the result of the block is returned, or a NameError is raised if no block was given.
require "ostruct" person = OpenStruct.new(name: "John", age: 70, pension: 300) person.delete_field!("age") # => 70 person # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=300>
Setting the value to nil will not remove the attribute:
person.pension = nil person # => #<OpenStruct name="John", pension=nil> person.delete_field('number') # => NameError person.delete_field('number') { 8675_309 } # => 8675309
Deletes every element of the set for which block evaluates to true, and returns self. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Iterates over each component of the path.
Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").each_filename {|filename| ... }
# yields "usr", "bin", and "ruby".
Returns an Enumerator if no block was given.
enum = Pathname.new("/usr/bin/ruby").each_filename
# ... do stuff ...
enum.each { |e| ... }
# yields "usr", "bin", and "ruby".
