Returns a new Time object based on the given arguments.
Required argument time may be either of:
A Time object, whose value is the basis for the returned time; also influenced by optional keyword argument in: (see below).
A numeric number of Epoch seconds for the returned time.
Examples:
t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600 secs = t.to_i # => 978328799 Time.at(secs) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600 Time.at(secs + 0.5) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600 Time.at(1000000000) # => 2001-09-08 20:46:40 -0500 Time.at(0) # => 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600 Time.at(-1000000000) # => 1938-04-24 17:13:20 -0500
Optional numeric argument subsec and optional symbol argument units work together to specify subseconds for the returned time; argument units specifies the units for subsec:
:millisecond: subsec in milliseconds:
Time.at(secs, 0, :millisecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600 Time.at(secs, 500, :millisecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600 Time.at(secs, 1000, :millisecond) # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600 Time.at(secs, -1000, :millisecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
:microsecond or :usec: subsec in microseconds:
Time.at(secs, 0, :microsecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600 Time.at(secs, 500000, :microsecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600 Time.at(secs, 1000000, :microsecond) # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600 Time.at(secs, -1000000, :microsecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
:nanosecond or :nsec: subsec in nanoseconds:
Time.at(secs, 0, :nanosecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59 -0600 Time.at(secs, 500000000, :nanosecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 -0600 Time.at(secs, 1000000000, :nanosecond) # => 2001-01-01 00:00:00 -0600 Time.at(secs, -1000000000, :nanosecond) # => 2000-12-31 23:59:58 -0600
Optional keyword argument in: zone specifies the timezone for the returned time:
Time.at(secs, in: '+12:00') # => 2001-01-01 17:59:59 +1200 Time.at(secs, in: '-12:00') # => 2000-12-31 17:59:59 -1200
For the forms of argument zone, see Timezone Specifiers.
Returns pathname configuration variable using fpathconf().
name should be a constant under Etc which begins with PC_.
The return value is an integer or nil. nil means indefinite limit. (fpathconf() returns -1 but errno is not set.)
require 'etc' IO.pipe {|r, w| p w.pathconf(Etc::PC_PIPE_BUF) #=> 4096 }
Returns true if the stream is associated with a terminal device (tty), false otherwise:
f = File.new('t.txt').isatty #=> false f.close f = File.new('/dev/tty').isatty #=> true f.close
Returns the path associated with the IO, or nil if there is no path associated with the IO. It is not guaranteed that the path exists on the filesystem.
$stdin.path # => "<STDIN>" File.open("testfile") {|f| f.path} # => "testfile"
With no block given, returns the MatchData object that describes the match, if any, or nil if none; the search begins at the given character offset in string:
/abra/.match('abracadabra') # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 4) # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) # => nil /abra/.match('abracadabra', 800) # => nil string = "\u{5d0 5d1 5e8 5d0}cadabra" /abra/.match(string, 7) #=> #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match(string, 8) #=> nil /abra/.match(string.b, 8) #=> #<MatchData "abra">
With a block given, calls the block if and only if a match is found; returns the block’s value:
/abra/.match('abracadabra') {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 4) {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => nil /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) {|marchdata| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => nil
Output (from the first two blocks above):
#<MatchData "abra"> #<MatchData "abra"> /(.)(.)(.)/.match("abc")[2] # => "b" /(.)(.)/.match("abc", 1)[2] # => "c"
Returns true or false to indicate whether the regexp is matched or not without updating $~ and other related variables. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
/R.../.match?("Ruby") # => true /R.../.match?("Ruby", 1) # => false /P.../.match?("Ruby") # => false $& # => nil
Returns a new set that is a copy of the set, flattening each containing set recursively.
Equivalent to Set#flatten, but replaces the receiver with the result in place. Returns nil if no modifications were made.
Equivalent to self.to_s.match, including possible updates to global variables; see String#match.
Equivalent to sym.to_s.match?; see String#match.
Allocates space for a new object of class’s class and does not call initialize on the new instance. The returned object must be an instance of class.
klass = Class.new do def initialize(*args) @initialized = true end def initialized? @initialized || false end end klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false
Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.
If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.
See Pathname#realpath.
The opposite of Pathname#absolute?
It returns false if the pathname begins with a slash.
p = Pathname.new('/im/sure') p.relative? #=> false p = Pathname.new('not/so/sure') p.relative? #=> true
Creates a full path, including any intermediate directories that don’t yet exist.
See FileUtils.mkpath and FileUtils.mkdir_p
Returns the real (absolute) pathname for self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.
