Returns true if the given year is a leap year in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, false otherwise:
Date.gregorian_leap?(2000) # => true Date.gregorian_leap?(2001) # => false
Date.leap? is an alias for Date.gregorian_leap?.
Related: Date.julian_leap?.
Equivalent to Date#- with argument n.
Equivalent to << with argument n * 12.
Waits until IO is readable and returns a truthy value, or a falsy value when times out. Returns a truthy value immediately when buffered data is available.
You must require ‘io/wait’ to use this method.
Closes the stream for reading if open for reading; returns nil. See Open and Closed Streams.
If the stream was opened by IO.popen and is also closed for writing, sets global variable $? (child exit status).
Example:
IO.popen('ruby', 'r+') do |pipe| puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_write puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_read puts $? puts pipe.closed? end
Output:
false false pid 14748 exit 0 true

Returns a hash representing named captures of self (see Named Captures):
Each key is the name of a named capture.
Each value is an array of integer indexes for that named capture.
Examples:
/(?<foo>.)(?<bar>.)/.named_captures # => {"foo"=>[1], "bar"=>[2]} /(?<foo>.)(?<foo>.)/.named_captures # => {"foo"=>[1, 2]} /(.)(.)/.named_captures # => {}
Disallows further read using shutdown system call.
s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair s1.close_read s2.puts #=> Broken pipe (Errno::EPIPE)
Returns an Addrinfo object for local address obtained by getsockname.
Note that addrinfo.protocol is filled by 0.
TCPSocket.open("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) {|s| p s.local_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 192.168.0.129:36873 TCP> } TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 1512) {|serv| p serv.local_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:1512 TCP> }
Returns the IP address as a string.
Addrinfo.tcp("127.0.0.1", 80).ip_address #=> "127.0.0.1" Addrinfo.tcp("::1", 80).ip_address #=> "::1"
Example
UNIXServer.open("/tmp/sock") {|serv| UNIXSocket.open("/tmp/sock") {|c| s = serv.accept c.send_io STDOUT stdout = s.recv_io p STDOUT.fileno #=> 1 p stdout.fileno #=> 7 stdout.puts "hello" # outputs "hello\n" to standard output. } }
klass will determine the class of io returned (using the IO.for_fd singleton method or similar). If klass is nil, an integer file descriptor is returned.
mode is the same as the argument passed to IO.for_fd
Closes self for reading; closed-write setting remains unchanged.
Raises IOError if reading is attempted.
Related: StringIO#close, StringIO#close_write.
Returns true if self is closed for reading, false otherwise.
Returns the pre-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns a hash of string variables matching the regular expression.
scan = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz') scan.match?(/(?<f>foo)(?<r>bar)(?<z>baz)/) scan.named_captures # -> {"f"=>"foo", "r"=>"bar", "z"=>"baz"}
Invokes Release method of Dispatch interface of WIN32OLE object. You should not use this method because this method exists only for debugging WIN32OLE. The return value is reference counter of OLE object.
Creates GUID.
WIN32OLE.create_guid # => {1CB530F1-F6B1-404D-BCE6-1959BF91F4A8}
invokes Release method of Dispatch interface of WIN32OLE object. Usually, you do not need to call this method because Release method called automatically when WIN32OLE object garbaged.
Returns the file extension appended to the names of backup copies of modified files under in-place edit mode. This value can be set using ARGF.inplace_mode= or passing the -i switch to the Ruby binary.
Sets the filename extension for in-place editing mode to the given String. The backup copy of each file being edited has this value appended to its filename.
For example:
$ ruby argf.rb file.txt
ARGF.inplace_mode = '.bak'
ARGF.each_line do |line|
print line.sub("foo","bar")
end
First, file.txt.bak is created as a backup copy of file.txt. Then, each line of file.txt has the first occurrence of “foo” replaced with “bar”.
