Returns the full path name of the temporary file. This will be nil if unlink has been called.
Creates a file in the underlying file system; returns a new File object based on that file.
With no block given and no arguments, creates and returns file whose:
Directory is the system temporary directory (system-dependent).
Generated filename is unique in that directory.
Permissions are 0600; see File Permissions.
Mode is 'w+' (read/write mode, positioned at the end).
With no block, the file is not removed automatically, and so should be explicitly removed.
Example:
f = Tempfile.create # => #<File:/tmp/20220505-9795-17ky6f6> f.class # => File f.path # => "/tmp/20220505-9795-17ky6f6" f.stat.mode.to_s(8) # => "100600" File.exist?(f.path) # => true File.unlink(f.path) File.exist?(f.path) # => false
Argument basename, if given, may be one of:
A string: the generated filename begins with basename:
Tempfile.create('foo') # => #<File:/tmp/foo20220505-9795-1gok8l9>
An array of two strings [prefix, suffix]: the generated filename begins with prefix and ends with suffix:
Tempfile.create(%w/foo .jpg/) # => #<File:/tmp/foo20220505-17839-tnjchh.jpg>
With arguments basename and tmpdir, the file is created in directory tmpdir:
Tempfile.create('foo', '.') # => #<File:./foo20220505-9795-1emu6g8>
Keyword arguments mode and options are passed directly to method File.open:
The value given with mode must be an integer, and may be expressed as the logical OR of constants defined in File::Constants.
For options, see Open Options.
With a block given, creates the file as above, passes it to the block, and returns the block’s value; before the return, the file object is closed and the underlying file is removed:
Tempfile.create {|file| file.path } # => "/tmp/20220505-9795-rkists"

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.
Returns the status of thr.
"sleep"
Returned if this thread is sleeping or waiting on I/O
"run"
When this thread is executing
"aborting"
If this thread is aborting
false
When this thread is terminated normally
nil
If terminated with an exception.
a = Thread.new { raise("die now") } b = Thread.new { Thread.stop } c = Thread.new { Thread.exit } d = Thread.new { sleep } d.kill #=> #<Thread:0x401b3678 aborting> a.status #=> nil b.status #=> "sleep" c.status #=> false d.status #=> "aborting" Thread.current.status #=> "run"
Returns internal information of TracePoint.
The contents of the returned value are implementation specific. It may be changed in future.
This method is only for debugging TracePoint itself.
Path of the file being run
Returns the BigDecimal converted from value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is less than the number of significant digits in the value, the result is rounded to that number of digits, according to the current rounding mode; see BigDecimal.mode.
When ndigits is 0, the number of digits to correctly represent a float number is determined automatically.
Returns value converted to a BigDecimal, depending on the type of value:
Integer, Float, Rational, Complex, or BigDecimal: converted directly:
# Integer, Complex, or BigDecimal value does not require ndigits; ignored if given. BigDecimal(2) # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal(Complex(2, 0)) # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal(BigDecimal(2)) # => 0.2e1 # Float or Rational value requires ndigits. BigDecimal(2.0, 0) # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal(Rational(2, 1), 0) # => 0.2e1
String: converted by parsing if it contains an integer or floating-point literal; leading and trailing whitespace is ignored:
# String does not require ndigits; ignored if given. BigDecimal('2') # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal('2.0') # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal('0.2e1') # => 0.2e1 BigDecimal(' 2.0 ') # => 0.2e1
Other type that responds to method :to_str: first converted to a string, then converted to a BigDecimal, as above.
Other type:
Raises an exception if keyword argument exception is true.
Returns nil if keyword argument exception is true.
Raises an exception if value evaluates to a Float and digits is larger than Float::DIG + 1.
Creates a new Pathname object from the given string, path, and returns pathname object.
In order to use this constructor, you must first require the Pathname standard library extension.
require 'pathname' Pathname("/home/zzak") #=> #<Pathname:/home/zzak>
See also Pathname::new for more information.
Equivalent to:
$stdout.putc(int)
See IO#putc for important information regarding multi-byte characters.
Returns arg converted to a float. Numeric types are converted directly, and with exception to String and nil the rest are converted using arg.to_f. Converting a String with invalid characters will result in a ArgumentError. Converting nil generates a TypeError. Exceptions can be suppressed by passing exception: false.
Float(1) #=> 1.0 Float("123.456") #=> 123.456 Float("123.0_badstring") #=> ArgumentError: invalid value for Float(): "123.0_badstring" Float(nil) #=> TypeError: can't convert nil into Float Float("123.0_badstring", exception: false) #=> nil
Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.
Rational(2, 3) #=> (2/3) Rational(5) #=> (5/1) Rational(0.5) #=> (1/2) Rational(0.3) #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984) Rational("2/3") #=> (2/3) Rational("0.3") #=> (3/10) Rational("10 cents") #=> ArgumentError Rational(nil) #=> TypeError Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError Rational("10 cents", exception: false) #=> nil

Returns an array of objects returned by the block.
With a block given, calls the block with successive elements; returns an array of the objects returned by the block:
(0..4).map {|i| i*i } # => [0, 1, 4, 9, 16] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.map {|key, value| value*2} # => [0, 2, 4]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
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 } # => []
Each element in the returned enumerator is a 2-element array consisting of:
A value returned by the block.
An array (“chunk”) containing the element for which that value was returned, and all following elements for which the block returned the same value:
So that:
Each block return value that is different from its predecessor begins a new chunk.
Each block return value that is the same as its predecessor continues the same chunk.
Example:
e = (0..10).chunk {|i| (i / 3).floor } # => #<Enumerator: ...> # The enumerator elements. e.next # => [0, [0, 1, 2]] e.next # => [1, [3, 4, 5]] e.next # => [2, [6, 7, 8]] e.next # => [3, [9, 10]]
Method chunk is especially useful for an enumerable that is already sorted. This example counts words for each initial letter in a large array of words:
# Get sorted words from a web page. url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eneko/data-repository/master/data/words.txt' words = URI::open(url).readlines # Make chunks, one for each letter. e = words.chunk {|word| word.upcase[0] } # => #<Enumerator: ...> # Display 'A' through 'F'. e.each {|c, words| p [c, words.length]; break if c == 'F' }
Output:
["A", 17096] ["B", 11070] ["C", 19901] ["D", 10896] ["E", 8736] ["F", 6860]
You can use the special symbol :_alone to force an element into its own separate chuck:
a = [0, 0, 1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i.even? ? :_alone : true } e.to_a # => [[:_alone, [0]], [:_alone, [0]], [true, [1, 1]]]
For example, you can put each line that contains a URL into its own chunk:
pattern = /http/ open(filename) { |f| f.chunk { |line| line =~ pattern ? :_alone : true }.each { |key, lines| pp lines } }
You can use the special symbol :_separator or nil to force an element to be ignored (not included in any chunk):
a = [0, 0, -1, 1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i < 0 ? :_separator : true } e.to_a # => [[true, [0, 0]], [true, [1, 1]]]
Note that the separator does end the chunk:
a = [0, 0, -1, 1, -1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i < 0 ? :_separator : true } e.to_a # => [[true, [0, 0]], [true, [1]], [true, [1]]]
For example, the sequence of hyphens in svn log can be eliminated as follows:
sep = "-"*72 + "\n" IO.popen("svn log README") { |f| f.chunk { |line| line != sep || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines } } #=> ["r20018 | knu | 2008-10-29 13:20:42 +0900 (Wed, 29 Oct 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Update the portability section.\n", # "\n"] # ["r16725 | knu | 2008-05-31 23:34:23 +0900 (Sat, 31 May 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Add a note about default C flags.\n", # "\n"] # ...
Paragraphs separated by empty lines can be parsed as follows:
File.foreach("README").chunk { |line| /\A\s*\z/ !~ line || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines }
Returns an enumerator object generated from this enumerator and given enumerables.
e = (1..3).chain([4, 5]) e.to_a #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Computes the arctangent of decimal to the specified number of digits of precision, numeric.
If decimal is NaN, returns NaN.
BigMath.atan(BigDecimal('-1'), 16).to_s #=> "-0.785398163397448309615660845819878471907514682065e0"
Returns the state of the coverage measurement.
Allocate size bytes of memory and return the integer memory address for the allocated memory.
Returns a String containing the generated JSON data.
See also JSON.fast_generate, JSON.pretty_generate.
Argument obj is the Ruby object to be converted to JSON.
Argument opts, if given, contains a Hash of options for the generation. See Generating Options.
When obj is an Array, returns a String containing a JSON array:
obj = ["foo", 1.0, true, false, nil] json = JSON.generate(obj) json # => '["foo",1.0,true,false,null]'
When obj is a Hash, returns a String containing a JSON object:
obj = {foo: 0, bar: 's', baz: :bat} json = JSON.generate(obj) json # => '{"foo":0,"bar":"s","baz":"bat"}'
For examples of generating from other Ruby objects, see Generating JSON from Other Objects.
Raises an exception if any formatting option is not a String.
Raises an exception if obj contains circular references:
a = []; b = []; a.push(b); b.push(a) # Raises JSON::NestingError (nesting of 100 is too deep): JSON.generate(a)
