Returns the rest of the data which had read for parsing gzip format, or nil if the whole gzip file is not parsed yet.
See Zlib::GzipReader documentation for a description.
Returns the last access time for this file as an object of class Time.
File.stat("testfile").atime #=> Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 CST 1969
Returns the modification time of stat.
File.stat("testfile").mtime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:14 CDT 2003
Returns the change time for stat (that is, the time directory information about the file was changed, not the file itself).
Note that on Windows (NTFS), returns creation time (birth time).
File.stat("testfile").ctime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:14 CDT 2003
Returns the birth time for stat.
If the platform doesn’t have birthtime, raises NotImplementedError.
File.write("testfile", "foo") sleep 10 File.write("testfile", "bar") sleep 10 File.chmod(0644, "testfile") sleep 10 File.read("testfile") File.stat("testfile").birthtime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:17 +0900 File.stat("testfile").mtime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:27 +0900 File.stat("testfile").ctime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:37 +0900 File.stat("testfile").atime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:47 +0900
Returns true if stat is a zero-length file; false otherwise.
File.stat("testfile").zero? #=> false
Returns true if the file is a character device, false if it isn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("/dev/tty").chardev? #=> true
Returns true if stat has the set-user-id permission bit set, false if it doesn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("/bin/su").setuid? #=> true
Returns true if stat has the set-group-id permission bit set, false if it doesn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("/usr/sbin/lpc").setgid? #=> true
Returns true if stat has its sticky bit set, false if it doesn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("testfile").sticky? #=> false
Transfers ownership of the underlying memory to a new buffer, causing the current buffer to become uninitialized.
buffer = IO::Buffer.new('test') other = buffer.transfer other # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f136a15f7b0+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 74 65 73 74 test buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000000000000000+0 NULL> buffer.null? # => true
If the buffer has 0 size: it is created by ::new with size 0, or with ::for from an empty string. (Note that empty files can’t be mapped, so the buffer created with ::map will never be empty.)
The buffer is external if it references the memory which is not allocated or mapped by the buffer itself.
A buffer created using ::for has an external reference to the string’s memory.
External buffer can’t be resized.
If the buffer is internal, meaning it references memory allocated by the buffer itself.
An internal buffer is not associated with any external memory (e.g. string) or file mapping.
Internal buffers are created using ::new and is the default when the requested size is less than the IO::Buffer::PAGE_SIZE and it was not requested to be mapped on creation.
Internal buffers can be resized, and such an operation will typically invalidate all slices, but not always.
If the buffer is shared, meaning it references memory that can be shared with other processes (and thus might change without being modified locally).
# Create a test file: File.write('test.txt', 'test') # Create a shared mapping from the given file, the file must be opened in # read-write mode unless we also specify IO::Buffer::READONLY: buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt', 'r+'), nil, 0) # => #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f1bffd5e000+4 EXTERNAL MAPPED SHARED> # Write to the buffer, which will modify the mapped file: buffer.set_string('b', 0) # => 1 # The file itself is modified: File.read('test.txt') # => "best"
If the buffer is read only, meaning the buffer cannot be modified using set_value, set_string or copy and similar.
Frozen strings and read-only files create read-only buffers.
Fill buffer with value, starting with offset and going for length bytes.
buffer = IO::Buffer.for('test') # => # <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 74 65 73 74 test buffer.clear # => # <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 00 .... buf.clear(1) # fill with 1 # => # <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 01 01 01 01 .... buffer.clear(2, 1, 2) # fill with 2, starting from offset 1, for 2 bytes # => # <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 01 02 02 01 .... buffer.clear(2, 1) # fill with 2, starting from offset 1 # => # <IO::Buffer 0x00007fca40087c38+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 01 02 02 02 ....
Efficiently copy from a source IO::Buffer into the buffer, at offset using memcpy. For copying String instances, see set_string.
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(32) # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5ca22520+32 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ # 0x00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ * buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 8) # => 4 -- size of buffer copied buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5cf8fe40+32 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 74 65 73 74 00 00 00 00 ........test.... # 0x00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ *
copy can be used to put buffer into strings associated with buffer:
string= "buffer: " # => "buffer: " buffer = IO::Buffer.for(string) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 5) # => 4 string # => "buffer:test"
Attempt to copy into a read-only buffer will fail:
File.write('test.txt', 'test') buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt'), nil, 0, IO::Buffer::READONLY) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 8) # in `copy': Buffer is not writable! (IO::Buffer::AccessError)
See ::map for details of creation of mutable file mappings, this will work:
buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt', 'r+')) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("boom"), 0) # => 4 File.read('test.txt') # => "boom"
Attempt to copy the buffer which will need place outside of buffer’s bounds will fail:
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(2) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for('test'), 0) # in `copy': Specified offset+length is bigger than the buffer size! (ArgumentError)
Returns the instruction sequence as a String in human readable form.
puts RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile('1 + 2').disasm
Produces:
== disasm: <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:<compiled>@<compiled>>========== 0000 trace 1 ( 1) 0002 putobject 1 0004 putobject 2 0006 opt_plus <ic:1> 0008 leave
Returns the path of this instruction sequence.
<compiled> if the iseq was evaluated from a string.
For example, using irb:
iseq = RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile('num = 1 + 2') #=> <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:<compiled>@<compiled>> iseq.path #=> "<compiled>"
Using ::compile_file:
# /tmp/method.rb
def hello
puts "hello, world"
end
# in irb
> iseq = RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile_file('/tmp/method.rb')
> iseq.path #=> /tmp/method.rb
Takes body, a Method or Proc object, and returns a String with the human readable instructions for body.
For a Method object:
# /tmp/method.rb def hello puts "hello, world" end puts RubyVM::InstructionSequence.disasm(method(:hello))
Produces:
== disasm: <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:hello@/tmp/method.rb>============ 0000 trace 8 ( 1) 0002 trace 1 ( 2) 0004 putself 0005 putstring "hello, world" 0007 send :puts, 1, nil, 8, <ic:0> 0013 trace 16 ( 3) 0015 leave ( 2)
For a Proc:
# /tmp/proc.rb p = proc { num = 1 + 2 } puts RubyVM::InstructionSequence.disasm(p)
Produces:
== disasm: <RubyVM::InstructionSequence:block in <main>@/tmp/proc.rb>=== == catch table | catch type: redo st: 0000 ed: 0012 sp: 0000 cont: 0000 | catch type: next st: 0000 ed: 0012 sp: 0000 cont: 0012 |------------------------------------------------------------------------ local table (size: 2, argc: 0 [opts: 0, rest: -1, post: 0, block: -1] s1) [ 2] num 0000 trace 1 ( 1) 0002 putobject 1 0004 putobject 2 0006 opt_plus <ic:1> 0008 dup 0009 setlocal num, 0 0012 leave
