Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem not containing symlinks or useless dots.

If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.

All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.

Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem. The real pathname doesn’t contain symlinks or useless dots.

If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.

The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.

Changes permission bits on file to the bit pattern represented by mode_int. Actual effects are platform dependent; on Unix systems, see chmod(2) for details. Follows symbolic links. Also see File#lchmod.

f = File.new("out", "w");
f.chmod(0644)   #=> 0

With string object given, returns true if path is a string path leading to a directory, or to a symbolic link to a directory; false otherwise:

File.directory?('.')              # => true
File.directory?('foo')            # => false
File.symlink('.', 'dirlink')      # => 0
File.directory?('dirlink')        # => true
File.symlink('t,txt', 'filelink') # => 0
File.directory?('filelink')       # => false

Argument path can be an IO object.

Returns true if the named file is readable by the effective user and group id of this process. See eaccess(3).

Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not readable by the effective user/group.

Returns true if the named file exists and has a zero size.

file_name can be an IO object.

Returns a replicated encoding of enc whose name is name. The new encoding should have the same byte structure of enc. If name is used by another encoding, raise ArgumentError.

Rewinds the enumeration sequence to the beginning.

If the enclosed object responds to a “rewind” method, it is called.

Returns the return value of the iterator.

o = Object.new
def o.each
  yield 1
  yield 2
  yield 3
  100
end

e = o.to_enum

puts e.next                   #=> 1
puts e.next                   #=> 2
puts e.next                   #=> 3

begin
  e.next
rescue StopIteration => ex
  puts ex.result              #=> 100
end

Prevents further modifications to obj. A FrozenError will be raised if modification is attempted. There is no way to unfreeze a frozen object. See also Object#frozen?.

This method returns self.

a = [ "a", "b", "c" ]
a.freeze
a << "z"

produces:

prog.rb:3:in `<<': can't modify frozen Array (FrozenError)
 from prog.rb:3

Objects of the following classes are always frozen: Integer, Float, Symbol.

Invokes Module.prepend_features on each parameter in reverse order.

Refine mod in the receiver.

Returns a module, where refined methods are defined.

The equivalent of included, but for prepended modules.

module A
  def self.prepended(mod)
    puts "#{self} prepended to #{mod}"
  end
end
module Enumerable
  prepend A
end
 # => prints "A prepended to Enumerable"

Prevents further modifications to mod.

This method returns self.

Returns an integer representing the mode settings for exception handling and rounding.

These modes control exception handling:

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN.

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY.

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW.

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW.

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE.

• BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL.

Values for setting for exception handling:

• true: sets the given mode to true.

• false: sets the given mode to false.

• nil: does not modify the mode settings.

You can use method BigDecimal.save_exception_mode to temporarily change, and then automatically restore, exception modes.

For clarity, some examples below begin by setting all exception modes to false.

This mode controls the way rounding is to be performed:

• BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE

You can use method BigDecimal.save_rounding_mode to temporarily change, and then automatically restore, the rounding mode.

NaNs

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN controls behavior when a BigDecimal NaN is created.

Settings:

• false (default): Returns BigDecimal('NaN').

• true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false) # => 0
BigDecimal('NaN')                                 # => NaN
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN, true)  # => 2
BigDecimal('NaN') # Raises FloatDomainError

Infinities

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY controls behavior when a BigDecimal Infinity or -Infinity is created. Settings:

• false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

• true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)     # => 0
BigDecimal('Infinity')                                # => Infinity
BigDecimal('-Infinity')                               # => -Infinity
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY, true) # => 1
BigDecimal('Infinity')  # Raises FloatDomainError
BigDecimal('-Infinity') # Raises FloatDomainError

Underflow

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW controls behavior when a BigDecimal underflow occurs. Settings:

• false (default): Returns BigDecimal('0') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

• true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)      # => 0
def flow_under
  x = BigDecimal('0.1')
  100.times { x *= x }
end
flow_under                                             # => 100
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW, true) # => 4
flow_under # Raises FloatDomainError

Overflow

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW controls behavior when a BigDecimal overflow occurs. Settings:

• false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

• true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)     # => 0
def flow_over
  x = BigDecimal('10')
  100.times { x *= x }
end
flow_over                                             # => 100
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW, true) # => 1
flow_over # Raises FloatDomainError

Zero Division

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE controls behavior when a zero-division occurs. Settings:

• false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

• true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)       # => 0
one = BigDecimal('1')
zero = BigDecimal('0')
one / zero                                              # => Infinity
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE, true) # => 16
one / zero # Raises FloatDomainError

All Exceptions

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL controls all of the above:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false) # => 0
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, true)  # => 23

Rounding

Mode BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE controls the way rounding is to be performed; its setting values are:

• ROUND_UP: Round away from zero. Aliased as :up.

• ROUND_DOWN: Round toward zero. Aliased as :down and :truncate.

• ROUND_HALF_UP: Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round away from zero. Aliased as :half_up and :default.

• ROUND_HALF_DOWN: Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round toward zero. Aliased as :half_down.

• ROUND_HALF_EVEN (Banker’s rounding): Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round toward the even neighbor. Aliased as :half_even and :banker.

• ROUND_CEILING: Round toward positive infinity. Aliased as :ceiling and :ceil.

• ROUND_FLOOR: Round toward negative infinity. Aliased as :floor:.

Returns an Array of two Integer values that represent platform-dependent internal storage properties.

This method is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Instead, use BigDecimal#n_significant_digits for obtaining the number of significant digits in scientific notation, and BigDecimal#precision for obtaining the number of digits in decimal notation.

Returns the modulus from dividing by b.

See BigDecimal#divmod.

Divides by the specified value, and returns the quotient and modulus as BigDecimal numbers. The quotient is rounded towards negative infinity.

For example:

require 'bigdecimal'

a = BigDecimal("42")
b = BigDecimal("9")

q, m = a.divmod(b)

c = q * b + m

a == c  #=> true

The quotient q is (a/b).floor, and the modulus is the amount that must be added to q * b to get a.

Returns true if rat is greater than 0.

Returns true if rat is less than 0.

Returns a hash of values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema    # => "2001-02-03"
Date._xmlschema(s) # => {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}

See argument limit.

Related: Date.xmlschema (returns a Date object).

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema   # => "2001-02-03"
Date.xmlschema(s) # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

See:

• Argument start.

• Argument limit.

Related: Date._xmlschema (returns a hash).

Returns true if the date is on or after the date of calendar reform, false otherwise:

Date.new(1582, 10, 15).gregorian?       # => true
(Date.new(1582, 10, 15) - 1).gregorian? # => false

Equivalent to Date#new_start with argument Date::GREGORIAN.

Equivalent to strftime with argument '%Y-%m-%d' (or its shorthand form '%F');

Date.new(2001, 2, 3).iso8601 # => "2001-02-03"

Date#xmlschema is an alias for Date#iso8601.
