Sets the instance variable named by symbol to the given object. This may circumvent the encapsulation intended by the author of the class, so it should be used with care. The variable does not have to exist prior to this call. If the instance variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog') #=> "dog" fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat') #=> "cat" fred.inspect #=> "#<Fred:0x401b3da8 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">"
Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Removes the named instance variable from obj, returning that variable’s value. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Dummy attr_reader :var def initialize @var = 99 end def remove remove_instance_variable(:@var) end end d = Dummy.new d.var #=> 99 d.remove #=> 99 d.var #=> nil
Defines a public singleton method in the receiver. The method parameter can be a Proc
, a Method
or an UnboundMethod
object. If a block is specified, it is used as the method body. If a block or a method has parameters, they’re used as method parameters.
class A class << self def class_name to_s end end end A.define_singleton_method(:who_am_i) do "I am: #{class_name}" end A.who_am_i # ==> "I am: A" guy = "Bob" guy.define_singleton_method(:hello) { "#{self}: Hello there!" } guy.hello #=> "Bob: Hello there!" chris = "Chris" chris.define_singleton_method(:greet) {|greeting| "#{greeting}, I'm Chris!" } chris.greet("Hi") #=> "Hi, I'm Chris!"
DO NOT USE THIS DIRECTLY.
Hook method to return whether the obj can respond to id method or not.
When the method name parameter is given as a string, the string is converted to a symbol.
See respond_to?
, and the example of BasicObject
.
Removes the named class variable from the receiver, returning that variable’s value.
class Example @@var = 99 puts remove_class_variable(:@@var) p(defined? @@var) end
produces:
99 nil
Returns the value of the given class variable (or throws a NameError
exception). The @@
part of the variable name should be included for regular class variables. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_get(:@@foo) #=> 99
Sets the class variable named by symbol to the given object. If the class variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred @@foo = 99 def foo @@foo end end Fred.class_variable_set(:@@foo, 101) #=> 101 Fred.new.foo #=> 101
Returns true
if the given class variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@foo) #=> true Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@bar) #=> false
fallback to console window size
Returns true
if the stream will be closed on exec, false
otherwise:
f = File.open('t.txt') f.close_on_exec? # => true f.close_on_exec = false f.close_on_exec? # => false f.close
Sets a close-on-exec flag.
f = open("/dev/null") f.close_on_exec = true system("cat", "/proc/self/fd/#{f.fileno}") # cat: /proc/self/fd/3: No such file or directory f.closed? #=> false
Ruby sets close-on-exec flags of all file descriptors by default since Ruby 2.0.0. So you don’t need to set by yourself. Also, unsetting a close-on-exec flag can cause file descriptor leak if another thread use fork() and exec() (via system() method for example). If you really needs file descriptor inheritance to child process, use spawn()‘s argument such as fd=>fd.

Packs port and host as an AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockaddr string.

Unpacks sockaddr into port and ip_address.
sockaddr should be a string or an addrinfo for AF_INET/AF_INET6.

Packs path as an AF_UNIX
sockaddr string.
Socket.sockaddr_un("/tmp/sock") #=> "\x01\x00/tmp/sock\x00\x00..."
Unpacks sockaddr into path.
sockaddr should be a string or an addrinfo for AF_UNIX
.
sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_un("/tmp/sock") p Socket.unpack_sockaddr_un(sockaddr) #=> "/tmp/sock"
Returns true for IPv6 multicast site-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true when OLE object has OLE method, otherwise returns false.

Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is added to the receiver.
module Chatty def Chatty.singleton_method_added(id) puts "Adding #{id.id2name}" end def self.one() end def two() end def Chatty.three() end end
