Returns a value representing the “cost” of transforming str1 into str2 Vendored version of DidYouMean::Levenshtein.distance from the ruby/did_you_mean gem @ 1.4.0 github.com/ruby/did_you_mean/blob/2ddf39b874808685965dbc47d344cf6c7651807c/lib/did_you_mean/levenshtein.rb#L7-L37

The version of Ruby required by this gem. The ruby version can be specified to the patch-level:

$ ruby -v -e 'p Gem.ruby_version'
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.4.0]
#<Gem::Version "2.0.0.247">

Prereleases can also be specified.

Usage:

# This gem will work with 1.8.6 or greater...
spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 1.8.6'

# Only with final releases of major version 2 where minor version is at least 3
spec.required_ruby_version = '~> 2.3'

# Only prereleases or final releases after 2.6.0.preview2
spec.required_ruby_version = '> 2.6.0.preview2'

# This gem will work with 2.3.0 or greater, including major version 3, but lesser than 4.0.0
spec.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.3', '< 4'

Returns the status of the global “report on exception” condition.

The default is true since Ruby 2.5.

All threads created when this flag is true will report a message on $stderr if an exception kills the thread.

Thread.new { 1.times { raise } }

will produce this output on $stderr:

#<Thread:...> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
Traceback (most recent call last):
        2: from -e:1:in `block in <main>'
        1: from -e:1:in `times'

This is done to catch errors in threads early. In some cases, you might not want this output. There are multiple ways to avoid the extra output:

• If the exception is not intended, the best is to fix the cause of the exception so it does not happen anymore.

• If the exception is intended, it might be better to rescue it closer to where it is raised rather then let it kill the Thread.

• If it is guaranteed the Thread will be joined with Thread#join or Thread#value, then it is safe to disable this report with Thread.current.report_on_exception = false when starting the Thread. However, this might handle the exception much later, or not at all if the Thread is never joined due to the parent thread being blocked, etc.

See also ::report_on_exception=.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_on_exception=.

Returns the new state. When set to true, all threads created afterwards will inherit the condition and report a message on $stderr if an exception kills a thread:

Thread.report_on_exception = true
t1 = Thread.new do
  puts  "In new thread"
  raise "Exception from thread"
end
sleep(1)
puts "In the main thread"

This will produce:

In new thread
#<Thread:...prog.rb:2> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
Traceback (most recent call last):
prog.rb:4:in `block in <main>': Exception from thread (RuntimeError)
In the main thread

See also ::report_on_exception.

There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see report_on_exception=.

Returns the status of the thread-local “report on exception” condition for this thr.

The default value when creating a Thread is the value of the global flag Thread.report_on_exception.

See also report_on_exception=.

There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.

When set to true, a message is printed on $stderr if an exception kills this thr. See ::report_on_exception for details.

See also report_on_exception.

There is also a class level method to set this for all new threads, see ::report_on_exception=.

Returns the version of the latest release-version of gem name

Sets the encoding to be used for the response body; returns the encoding.

The given value may be:

• An Encoding object.

• The name of an encoding.

• An alias for an encoding name.

See Encoding.

Examples:

http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
http.response_body_encoding = Encoding::US_ASCII # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
http.response_body_encoding = 'US-ASCII'         # => "US-ASCII"
http.response_body_encoding = 'ASCII'            # => "ASCII"

Sets the encoding to be used for the response body; returns the encoding.

The given value may be:

• An Encoding object.

• The name of an encoding.

• An alias for an encoding name.

See Encoding.

Examples:

http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
http.response_body_encoding = Encoding::US_ASCII # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
http.response_body_encoding = 'US-ASCII'         # => "US-ASCII"
http.response_body_encoding = 'ASCII'            # => "ASCII"

Return true if this spec can require file.

Returns whether the HTTP session is to be kept alive.

Return a String indicating who caused this request to be added (only valid for implicit requests)

Is this handler a streaming handler?

Returns the type library version.

tlib = WIN32OLE::TypeLib.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
puts tlib.version #-> "1.3"

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.
