Combine two Adler-32 check values in to one. adler1 is the first Adler-32 value, adler2 is the second Adler-32 value. len2 is the length of the string used to generate adler2.
Combine two CRC-32 check values in to one. crc1 is the first CRC-32 value, crc2 is the second CRC-32 value. len2 is the length of the string used to generate crc2.
Returns true if the named file is writable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not writable by the real user/group.
If file_name is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_writable?("/tmp") #=> 511 m = File.world_writable?("/tmp") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "777"
Returns information for heaps in the GC.
If the first optional argument, heap_name, is passed in and not nil, it returns a Hash containing information about the particular heap. Otherwise, it will return a Hash with heap names as keys and a Hash containing information about the heap as values.
If the second optional argument, hash_or_key, is given as a Hash, it will be overwritten and returned. This is intended to avoid the probe effect.
If both optional arguments are passed in and the second optional argument is a symbol, it will return a Numeric value for the particular heap.
On CRuby, heap_name is of the type Integer but may be of type String on other implementations.
The contents of the hash are implementation-specific and may change in the future without notice.
If the optional argument, hash, is given, it is overwritten and returned.
This method is only expected to work on CRuby.
The hash includes the following keys about the internal information in the GC:
The slot size of the heap in bytes.
The number of pages that can be allocated without triggering a new garbage collection cycle.
The number of pages in the eden heap.
The total number of slots in all of the pages in the eden heap.
The number of pages in the tomb heap. The tomb heap only contains pages that do not have any live objects.
The total number of slots in all of the pages in the tomb heap.
The total number of pages that have been allocated in the heap.
The total number of pages that have been freed and released back to the system in the heap.
The number of times this heap has forced major garbage collection cycles to start due to running out of free slots.
The number of times this heap has forced incremental marking to complete due to running out of pooled slots.
Try to activate a gem containing path. Returns true if activation succeeded or wasn’t needed because it was already activated. Returns false if it can’t find the path in a gem.
Find the full path to the executable for gem name. If the exec_name is not given, an exception will be raised, otherwise the specified executable’s path is returned. requirements allows you to specify specific gem versions.
The mode needed to read a file as straight binary.
Returns a list of paths matching glob that can be used by a gem to pick up features from other gems. For example:
Gem.find_files('rdoc/discover').each do |path| load path end
if check_load_path is true (the default), then find_files also searches $LOAD_PATH for files as well as gems.
Note that find_files will return all files even if they are from different versions of the same gem. See also find_latest_files
Adds a post-build hook that will be passed an Gem::Installer instance when Gem::Installer#install is called. The hook is called after the gem has been extracted and extensions have been built but before the executables or gemspec has been written. If the hook returns false then the gem’s files will be removed and the install will be aborted.
Adds a hook that will get run after Gem::Specification.reset is run.
Safely read a file in binary mode on all platforms.
Is this a windows platform?
Is this platform Solaris?
Find rubygems plugin files in the standard location and load them
Finds the user’s home directory.
The path to standard location of the user’s state file.
The path to standard location of the user’s state directory.
The default directory for binaries
Recursively copies files from src to dest.
Arguments src and dest should be interpretable as paths.
If src is the path to a file, copies src to dest:
FileUtils.touch('src0.txt') File.exist?('dest0.txt') # => false FileUtils.copy_entry('src0.txt', 'dest0.txt') File.file?('dest0.txt') # => true
If src is a directory, recursively copies src to dest:
tree('src1') # => src1 # |-- dir0 # | |-- src0.txt # | `-- src1.txt # `-- dir1 # |-- src2.txt # `-- src3.txt FileUtils.copy_entry('src1', 'dest1') tree('dest1') # => dest1 # |-- dir0 # | |-- src0.txt # | `-- src1.txt # `-- dir1 # |-- src2.txt # `-- src3.txt
The recursive copying preserves file types for regular files, directories, and symbolic links; other file types (FIFO streams, device files, etc.) are not supported.
Keyword arguments:
dereference_root: true - if src is a symbolic link, follows the link.
preserve: true - preserves file times.
remove_destination: true - removes dest before copying files.

Argument path should be interpretable as a path.
Optional argument force specifies whether to ignore raised exceptions of StandardError and its descendants.
