Returns true if the syslog is open.
Closes the syslog facility. Raises a runtime exception if it is not open.
Calculates Adler-32 checksum for string, and returns updated value of adler. If string is omitted, it returns the Adler-32 initial value. If adler is omitted, it assumes that the initial value is given to adler. If string is an IO instance, reads from the IO until the IO returns nil and returns Adler-32 of all read data.
Example usage:
require "zlib" data = "foo" puts "Adler32 checksum: #{Zlib.adler32(data).to_s(16)}" #=> Adler32 checksum: 2820145
Returns true if the named file exists and has a zero size.
file_name can be an IO object.
Returns true if the named file exists and has a zero size.
file_name can be an IO object.
Returns true if filepath points to a character device, false otherwise.
File.chardev?($stdin) # => true File.chardev?('t.txt') # => false
Returns true if the named file has the setuid bit set.
file_name can be an IO object.
Returns true if the named file has the setgid bit set.
file_name can be an IO object.
Returns true if the named file has the sticky bit set.
file_name can be an IO object.
Returns true if the named files are identical.
file_1 and file_2 can be an IO object.
open("a", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "a") #=> true p File.identical?("a", "./a") #=> true File.link("a", "b") p File.identical?("a", "b") #=> true File.symlink("a", "c") p File.identical?("a", "c") #=> true open("d", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "d") #=> false
This function compacts objects together in Ruby’s heap. It eliminates unused space (or fragmentation) in the heap by moving objects in to that unused space. This function returns a hash which contains statistics about which objects were moved. See GC.latest_gc_info for details about compaction statistics.
This method is implementation specific and not expected to be implemented in any implementation besides MRI.
To test whether GC compaction is supported, use the idiom:
GC.respond_to?(:compact)
Initiates garbage collection, even if manually disabled.
The full_mark keyword argument determines whether or not to perform a major garbage collection cycle. When set to true, a major garbage collection cycle is ran, meaning all objects are marked. When set to false, a minor garbage collection cycle is ran, meaning only young objects are marked.
The immediate_mark keyword argument determines whether or not to perform incremental marking. When set to true, marking is completed during the call to this method. When set to false, marking is performed in steps that is interleaved with future Ruby code execution, so marking might not be completed during this method call. Note that if full_mark is false then marking will always be immediate, regardless of the value of immediate_mark.
The immedate_sweep keyword argument determines whether or not to defer sweeping (using lazy sweep). When set to true, sweeping is performed in steps that is interleaved with future Ruby code execution, so sweeping might not be completed during this method call. When set to false, sweeping is completed during the call to this method.
Note: These keyword arguments are implementation and version dependent. They are not guaranteed to be future-compatible, and may be ignored if the underlying implementation does not support them.
Invokes the block with a Benchmark::Report object, which may be used to collect and report on the results of individual benchmark tests. Reserves label_width leading spaces for labels on each line. Prints caption at the top of the report, and uses format to format each line. (Note: caption must contain a terminating newline character, see the default Benchmark::Tms::CAPTION for an example.)
Returns an array of Benchmark::Tms objects.
If the block returns an array of Benchmark::Tms objects, these will be used to format additional lines of output. If labels parameter are given, these are used to label these extra lines.
Note: Other methods provide a simpler interface to this one, and are suitable for nearly all benchmarking requirements. See the examples in Benchmark, and the bm and bmbm methods.
Example:
require 'benchmark' include Benchmark # we need the CAPTION and FORMAT constants n = 5000000 Benchmark.benchmark(CAPTION, 7, FORMAT, ">total:", ">avg:") do |x| tf = x.report("for:") { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end } tt = x.report("times:") { n.times do ; a = "1"; end } tu = x.report("upto:") { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end } [tf+tt+tu, (tf+tt+tu)/3] end

Retrieve the PathSupport object that RubyGems uses to lookup files.
Initialize the filesystem paths to use from env. env is a hash-like object (typically ENV) that is queried for ‘GEM_HOME’, ‘GEM_PATH’, and ‘GEM_SPEC_CACHE’ Keys for the env hash should be Strings, and values of the hash should be Strings or nil.
Prints the amount of time the supplied block takes to run using the debug UI output.
Returns the currently set formatter. By default, it is set to DidYouMean::Formatter.
Updates the primary formatter used to format the suggestions.
