The method is expected to immediately run the provided block of code in a separate non-blocking fiber.
puts "Go to sleep!" Fiber.set_scheduler(MyScheduler.new) Fiber.schedule do puts "Going to sleep" sleep(1) puts "I slept well" end puts "Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead"
Assuming MyScheduler is properly implemented, this program will produce:
Go to sleep! Going to sleep Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead ...1 sec pause here... I slept well
…e.g. on the first blocking operation inside the Fiber (sleep(1)), the control is yielded to the outside code (main fiber), and at the end of that execution, the scheduler takes care of properly resuming all the blocked fibers.
Note that the behavior described above is how the method is expected to behave, actual behavior is up to the current scheduler’s implementation of Fiber::Scheduler#fiber method. Ruby doesn’t enforce this method to behave in any particular way.
If the scheduler is not set, the method raises RuntimeError (No scheduler is available!).
Returns true if path matches against pattern. The pattern is not a regular expression; instead it follows rules similar to shell filename globbing. It may contain the following metacharacters:
*
Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob. Equivalent to /.*/x in regexp.
*
Matches all regular files
c*
Matches all files beginning with c
*c
Matches all files ending with c
*c*
Matches all files that have c in them (including at the beginning or end).
To match hidden files (that start with a .) set the File::FNM_DOTMATCH flag.
**
Matches directories recursively or files expansively.
?
Matches any one character. Equivalent to /.{1}/ in regexp.
[set]
Matches any one character in set. Behaves exactly like character sets in Regexp, including set negation ([^a-z]).
\
Escapes the next metacharacter.
{a,b}
Matches pattern a and pattern b if File::FNM_EXTGLOB flag is enabled. Behaves like a Regexp union ((?:a|b)).
flags is a bitwise OR of the FNM_XXX constants. The same glob pattern and flags are used by Dir::glob.

Changes permission bits on the named file(s) to the bit pattern represented by mode_int. Actual effects are operating system dependent (see the beginning of this section). On Unix systems, see chmod(2) for details. Returns the number of files processed.
File.chmod(0644, "testfile", "out") #=> 2
Changes the owner and group of the named file(s) to the given numeric owner and group id’s. Only a process with superuser privileges may change the owner of a file. The current owner of a file may change the file’s group to any group to which the owner belongs. A nil or -1 owner or group id is ignored. Returns the number of files processed.
File.chown(nil, 100, "testfile")
Equivalent to File::chmod, but does not follow symbolic links (so it will change the permissions associated with the link, not the file referenced by the link). Often not available.
Equivalent to File::chown, but does not follow symbolic links (so it will change the owner associated with the link, not the file referenced by the link). Often not available. Returns number of files in the argument list.
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
Changes the owner and group of file to the given numeric owner and group id’s. Only a process with superuser privileges may change the owner of a file. The current owner of a file may change the file’s group to any group to which the owner belongs. A nil or -1 owner or group id is ignored. Follows symbolic links. See also File#lchown.
File.new("testfile").chown(502, 1000)
Returns true if filepath points to a character device, false otherwise.
File.chardev?($stdin) # => true File.chardev?('t.txt') # => false
Iterates over the block according to how this Enumerator was constructed. If no block and no arguments are given, returns self.
"Hello, world!".scan(/\w+/) #=> ["Hello", "world"] "Hello, world!".to_enum(:scan, /\w+/).to_a #=> ["Hello", "world"] "Hello, world!".to_enum(:scan).each(/\w+/).to_a #=> ["Hello", "world"] obj = Object.new def obj.each_arg(a, b=:b, *rest) yield a yield b yield rest :method_returned end enum = obj.to_enum :each_arg, :a, :x enum.each.to_a #=> [:a, :x, []] enum.each.equal?(enum) #=> true enum.each { |elm| elm } #=> :method_returned enum.each(:y, :z).to_a #=> [:a, :x, [:y, :z]] enum.each(:y, :z).equal?(enum) #=> false enum.each(:y, :z) { |elm| elm } #=> :method_returned
Return the matchee associated with this NoMatchingPatternKeyError exception.
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).
Equivalent to strftime with argument '%Y-%m-%d' (or its shorthand form '%F');
Date.new(2001, 2, 3).iso8601 # => "2001-02-03"
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing limit: nil, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
Parses time as a dateTime defined by the XML Schema and converts it to a Time object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if time is not compliant with the format or if the Time class cannot represent the specified time.
See xmlschema for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.xmlschema("2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00") #=> 2011-10-05 22:26:12-04:00
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fraction_digits specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Reads and returns a character in raw mode.
See IO#raw for details on the parameters.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Enables/disables echo back. On some platforms, all combinations of this flags and raw/cooked mode may not be valid.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Yields self with disabling echo back.
STDIN.noecho(&:gets)
will read and return a line without echo back.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Calls the block with each successive line read from the stream.
When called from class IO (but not subclasses of IO), this method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
The first argument must be a string that is the path to a file.
With only argument path given, parses lines from the file at the given path, as determined by the default line separator, and calls the block with each successive line:
File.foreach('t.txt') {|line| p line }
Output: the same as above.
For both forms, command and path, the remaining arguments are the same.
With argument sep given, parses lines as determined by that line separator (see Line Separator):
File.foreach('t.txt', 'li') {|line| p line }
Output:
"First li" "ne\nSecond li" "ne\n\nThird li" "ne\nFourth li" "ne\n"
Each paragraph:
File.foreach('t.txt', '') {|paragraph| p paragraph }
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\n" "Third line\nFourth line\n"
With argument limit given, parses lines as determined by the default line separator and the given line-length limit (see Line Limit):
File.foreach('t.txt', 7) {|line| p line }
Output:
"First l" "ine\n" "Second " "line\n" "\n" "Third l" "ine\n" "Fourth l" "line\n"
With arguments sep and limit given, parses lines as determined by the given line separator and the given line-length limit (see Line Separator and Line Limit):
Optional keyword arguments opts specify:
Encoding options.
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.
Calls the block with each remaining line read from the stream; returns self. Does nothing if already at end-of-stream; See Line IO.
With no arguments given, reads lines as determined by line separator $/:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line {|line| p line } f.each_line {|line| fail 'Cannot happen' } f.close
Output:
"First line\n" "Second line\n" "\n" "Fourth line\n" "Fifth line\n"
With only string argument sep given, reads lines as determined by line separator sep; see Line Separator:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line('li') {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First li" "ne\nSecond li" "ne\n\nFourth li" "ne\nFifth li" "ne\n"
The two special values for sep are honored:
f = File.new('t.txt') # Get all into one string. f.each_line(nil) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\nFourth line\nFifth line\n" f.rewind # Get paragraphs (up to two line separators). f.each_line('') {|line| p line }
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\n" "Fourth line\nFifth line\n"
With only integer argument limit given, limits the number of bytes in each line; see Line Limit:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line(8) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First li" "ne\n" "Second l" "ine\n" "\n" "Fourth l" "ine\n" "Fifth li" "ne\n"
With arguments sep and limit given, combines the two behaviors:
Calls with the next line as determined by line separator sep.
But returns no more bytes than are allowed by the limit.
Optional keyword argument chomp specifies whether line separators are to be omitted:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line(chomp: true) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First line" "Second line" "" "Fourth line" "Fifth line"
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.
