Returns the current backtrace of the target thread.
Dump the name, id, and status of thr to a string.
Return a string containing a human-readable TracePoint status.
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.
A convenience method for TracePoint.new, that activates the trace automatically.
trace = TracePoint.trace(:call) { |tp| [tp.lineno, tp.event] } #=> #<TracePoint:enabled> trace.enabled? #=> true
Line number of the event

Equivalent to method Kernel#gets, except that it raises an exception if called at end-of-stream:
$ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines; readline" ["First line\n", "Second line\n", "\n", "Fourth line\n", "Fifth line\n"] in `readline': end of file reached (EOFError)
Optional keyword argument chomp specifies whether line separators are to be omitted.
Returns an array containing the lines returned by calling Kernel#gets until the end-of-stream is reached; (see Line IO).
With only string argument sep given, returns the remaining lines as determined by line separator sep, or nil if none; see Line Separator:
# Default separator. $ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines" ["First line\n", "Second line\n", "\n", "Fourth line\n", "Fifth line\n"] # Specified separator. $ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines 'li'" ["First li", "ne\nSecond li", "ne\n\nFourth li", "ne\nFifth li", "ne\n"] # Get-all separator. $ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines nil" ["First line\nSecond line\n\nFourth line\nFifth line\n"] # Get-paragraph separator. $ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines ''" ["First line\nSecond line\n\n", "Fourth line\nFifth line\n"]
With only integer argument limit given, limits the number of bytes in the line; see Line Limit:
$cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines 10" ["First line", "\n", "Second lin", "e\n", "\n", "Fourth lin", "e\n", "Fifth line", "\n"] $cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines 11" ["First line\n", "Second line", "\n", "\n", "Fourth line", "\n", "Fifth line\n"] $cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines 12" ["First line\n", "Second line\n", "\n", "Fourth line\n", "Fifth line\n"]
With arguments sep and limit given, combines the two behaviors; see Line Separator and Line Limit.
Optional keyword argument chomp specifies whether line separators are to be omitted:
$ cat t.txt | ruby -e "p readlines(chomp: true)" ["First line", "Second line", "", "Fourth line", "Fifth line"]
Optional keyword arguments enc_opts specify encoding options; see Encoding options.
Returns uri converted to an URI object.
Returns uri converted to an URI object.
Returns an integer converted from object.
Tries to convert object to an integer using to_int first and to_i second; see below for exceptions.
With a non-zero base, object must be a string or convertible to a string.
With integer argument object given, returns object:
Integer(1) # => 1 Integer(-1) # => -1
With floating-point argument object given, returns object truncated to an intger:
Integer(1.9) # => 1 # Rounds toward zero. Integer(-1.9) # => -1 # Rounds toward zero.
With string argument object and zero base given, returns object converted to an integer in base 10:
Integer('100') # => 100 Integer('-100') # => -100
With base zero, string object may contain leading characters to specify the actual base (radix indicator):
Integer('0100') # => 64 # Leading '0' specifies base 8. Integer('0b100') # => 4 # Leading '0b', specifies base 2. Integer('0x100') # => 256 # Leading '0x' specifies base 16.
With a positive base (in range 2..36) given, returns object converted to an integer in the given base:
Integer('100', 2) # => 4 Integer('100', 8) # => 64 Integer('-100', 16) # => -256
With a negative base (in range -36..-2) given, returns object converted to an integer in the radix indicator if exists or -base:
Integer('0x100', -2) # => 256 Integer('100', -2) # => 4 Integer('0b100', -8) # => 4 Integer('100', -8) # => 64 Integer('0o100', -10) # => 64 Integer('100', -10) # => 100
base -1 is equal the -10 case.
When converting strings, surrounding whitespace and embedded underscores are allowed and ignored:
Integer(' 100 ') # => 100 Integer('-1_0_0', 16) # => -256
Examples with object of various other classes:
Integer(Rational(9, 10)) # => 0 # Rounds toward zero. Integer(Complex(2, 0)) # => 2 # Imaginary part must be zero. Integer(Time.now) # => 1650974042
With optional keyword argument exception given as true (the default):
Raises TypeError if object does not respond to to_int or to_i.
Raises TypeError if object is nil.
Raise ArgumentError if object is an invalid string.
With exception given as false, an exception of any kind is suppressed and nil is returned.
Executes command… in a subshell. command… is one of following forms.
This method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
commandline
command line string which is passed to the standard shell
cmdname, arg1, ...
command name and one or more arguments (no shell)
[cmdname, argv0], arg1, ...
command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell)
system returns true if the command gives zero exit status, false for non zero exit status. Returns nil if command execution fails. An error status is available in $?.
If the exception: true argument is passed, the method raises an exception instead of returning false or nil.
The arguments are processed in the same way as for Kernel#spawn.
The hash arguments, env and options, are same as exec and spawn. See Kernel#spawn for details.
system("echo *") system("echo", "*")
produces:
config.h main.rb *
Error handling:
system("cat nonexistent.txt") # => false system("catt nonexistent.txt") # => nil system("cat nonexistent.txt", exception: true) # RuntimeError (Command failed with exit 1: cat) system("catt nonexistent.txt", exception: true) # Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - catt)
See Kernel#exec for the standard shell.
Specifies the handling of signals. The first parameter is a signal name (a string such as “SIGALRM”, “SIGUSR1”, and so on) or a signal number. The characters “SIG” may be omitted from the signal name. The command or block specifies code to be run when the signal is raised. If the command is the string “IGNORE” or “SIG_IGN”, the signal will be ignored. If the command is “DEFAULT” or “SIG_DFL”, the Ruby’s default handler will be invoked. If the command is “EXIT”, the script will be terminated by the signal. If the command is “SYSTEM_DEFAULT”, the operating system’s default handler will be invoked. Otherwise, the given command or block will be run. The special signal name “EXIT” or signal number zero will be invoked just prior to program termination. trap returns the previous handler for the given signal.
Signal.trap(0, proc { puts "Terminating: #{$$}" }) Signal.trap("CLD") { puts "Child died" } fork && Process.wait
produces:
Terminating: 27461 Child died Terminating: 27460
Returns the first element for which the block returns a truthy value.
With a block given, calls the block with successive elements of the collection; returns the first element for which the block returns a truthy value:
(0..9).find {|element| element > 2} # => 3
If no such element is found, calls if_none_proc and returns its return value.
(0..9).find(proc {false}) {|element| element > 12} # => false {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.find {|key, value| key.start_with?('b') } # => [:bar, 1] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.find(proc {[]}) {|key, value| key.start_with?('c') } # => []
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Returns an object formed from operands via either:
A method named by symbol.
A block to which each operand is passed.
With method-name argument symbol, combines operands using the method:
# Sum, without initial_operand. (1..4).inject(:+) # => 10 # Sum, with initial_operand. (1..4).inject(10, :+) # => 20
With a block, passes each operand to the block:
# Sum of squares, without initial_operand. (1..4).inject {|sum, n| sum + n*n } # => 30 # Sum of squares, with initial_operand. (1..4).inject(2) {|sum, n| sum + n*n } # => 32
Operands
If argument initial_operand is not given, the operands for inject are simply the elements of self. Example calls and their operands:
(1..4).inject(:+)
[1, 2, 3, 4].
(1...4).inject(:+)
[1, 2, 3].
('a'..'d').inject(:+)
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].
('a'...'d').inject(:+)
['a', 'b', 'c'].
Examples with first operand (which is self.first) of various types:
# Integer. (1..4).inject(:+) # => 10 # Float. [1.0, 2, 3, 4].inject(:+) # => 10.0 # Character. ('a'..'d').inject(:+) # => "abcd" # Complex. [Complex(1, 2), 3, 4].inject(:+) # => (8+2i)
If argument initial_operand is given, the operands for inject are that value plus the elements of self. Example calls their operands:
(1..4).inject(10, :+)
[10, 1, 2, 3, 4].
(1...4).inject(10, :+)
[10, 1, 2, 3].
('a'..'d').inject('e', :+)
['e', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].
('a'...'d').inject('e', :+)
['e', 'a', 'b', 'c'].
Examples with initial_operand of various types:
# Integer. (1..4).inject(2, :+) # => 12 # Float. (1..4).inject(2.0, :+) # => 12.0 # String. ('a'..'d').inject('foo', :+) # => "fooabcd" # Array. %w[a b c].inject(['x'], :push) # => ["x", "a", "b", "c"] # Complex. (1..4).inject(Complex(2, 2), :+) # => (12+2i)
Combination by Given Method
If the method-name argument symbol is given, the operands are combined by that method:
The first and second operands are combined.
That result is combined with the third operand.
That result is combined with the fourth operand.
And so on.
The return value from inject is the result of the last combination.
This call to inject computes the sum of the operands:
(1..4).inject(:+) # => 10
Examples with various methods:
# Integer addition. (1..4).inject(:+) # => 10 # Integer multiplication. (1..4).inject(:*) # => 24 # Character range concatenation. ('a'..'d').inject('', :+) # => "abcd" # String array concatenation. %w[foo bar baz].inject('', :+) # => "foobarbaz" # Hash update. h = [{foo: 0, bar: 1}, {baz: 2}, {bat: 3}].inject(:update) h # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2, :bat=>3} # Hash conversion to nested arrays. h = {foo: 0, bar: 1}.inject([], :push) h # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, 1]]
Combination by Given Block
If a block is given, the operands are passed to the block:
The first call passes the first and second operands.
The second call passes the result of the first call, along with the third operand.
The third call passes the result of the second call, along with the fourth operand.
And so on.
The return value from inject is the return value from the last block call.
This call to inject gives a block that writes the memo and element, and also sums the elements:
(1..4).inject do |memo, element| p "Memo: #{memo}; element: #{element}" memo + element end # => 10
Output:
"Memo: 1; element: 2" "Memo: 3; element: 3" "Memo: 6; element: 4"
Enumerable#reduce is an alias for Enumerable#inject.
Returns the first element or elements.
With no argument, returns the first element, or nil if there is none:

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 a 2-element array containing the minimum and maximum elements 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 and maximum elements, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).minmax # => [1, 4] (-4..-1).minmax # => [-4, -1] %w[d c b a].minmax # => ["a", "d"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.minmax # => [[:bar, 1], [:foo, 0]] [].minmax # => [nil, nil]
With a block given, returns the minimum and maximum elements as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].minmax {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["x", "xxxx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.minmax {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:foo, 0], [:baz, 2]] [].minmax {|a, b| a <=> b } # => [nil, nil]
Returns whether for any element object == element:
(1..4).include?(2) # => true (1..4).include?(5) # => false (1..4).include?('2') # => false %w[a b c d].include?('b') # => true %w[a b c d].include?('2') # => false {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?(:foo) # => true {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?('foo') # => false {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.include?(0) # => false
Enumerable#member? is an alias for Enumerable#include?.
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 sine of decimal to the specified number of digits of precision, numeric.
If decimal is Infinity or NaN, returns NaN.
BigMath.sin(BigMath.PI(5)/4, 5).to_s #=> "0.70710678118654752440082036563292800375e0"
Enables the coverage measurement. See the documentation of Coverage class in detail. This is equivalent to Coverage.setup and Coverage.resume.
Returns the state of the coverage measurement.
Returns the short user name of the currently logged in user. Unfortunately, it is often rather easy to fool ::getlogin.
Avoid ::getlogin for security-related purposes.
If ::getlogin fails, try ::getpwuid.
See the unix manpage for getpwuid(3) for more detail.
e.g.
Etc.getlogin -> 'guest'
