Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4 address.
Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv6 address.
Returns true if the ipaddr is a private address. IPv4 addresses in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 as defined in RFC 1918 and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses in fc00::/7 as defined in RFC 4193 are considered private. Private IPv4 addresses in the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address range are also considered private.
Puts option summary into to and returns to. Yields each line if a block is given.
to
Output destination, which must have method <<. Defaults to [].
width
Width of left side, defaults to @summary_width.
max
Maximum length allowed for left side, defaults to width - 1.
indent
Indentation, defaults to @summary_indent.
Increases left margin after newline with indent for line breaks added in the block.
Opens a transaction block for the store. See Transactions.
With argument read_only as false, the block may both read from and write to the store.
With argument read_only as true, the block may not include calls to transaction, []=, or delete.
Raises an exception if called within a transaction block.
Returns the number of mandatory arguments. If the block is declared to take no arguments, returns 0. If the block is known to take exactly n arguments, returns n. If the block has optional arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of mandatory arguments, with the exception for blocks that are not lambdas and have only a finite number of optional arguments; in this latter case, returns n. Keyword arguments will be considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. A proc with no argument declarations is the same as a block declaring || as its arguments.
proc {}.arity #=> 0 proc { || }.arity #=> 0 proc { |a| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |a, b| }.arity #=> 2 proc { |a, b, c| }.arity #=> 3 proc { |*a| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, *b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, *b, c| }.arity #=> -3 proc { |x:, y:, z:0| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |*a, x:, y:0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |a=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a=0, b| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a=0, b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a=0, b=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |a=0, b=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, b=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, b=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |(a, b), c=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |(a, b), c=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> -2
Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. Keyword arguments will be considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.
class C def one; end def two(a); end def three(*a); end def four(a, b); end def five(a, b, *c); end def six(a, b, *c, &d); end def seven(a, b, x:0); end def eight(x:, y:); end def nine(x:, y:, **z); end def ten(*a, x:, y:); end end c = C.new c.method(:one).arity #=> 0 c.method(:two).arity #=> 1 c.method(:three).arity #=> -1 c.method(:four).arity #=> 2 c.method(:five).arity #=> -3 c.method(:six).arity #=> -3 c.method(:seven).arity #=> -3 c.method(:eight).arity #=> 1 c.method(:nine).arity #=> 1 c.method(:ten).arity #=> -2 "cat".method(:size).arity #=> 0 "cat".method(:replace).arity #=> 1 "cat".method(:squeeze).arity #=> -1 "cat".method(:count).arity #=> -1

Returns an array of all existing Thread objects that belong to this group.
ThreadGroup::Default.list #=> [#<Thread:0x401bdf4c run>]
Basically the same as ::new. However, if class Thread is subclassed, then calling start in that subclass will not invoke the subclass’s initialize method.
Stops execution of the current thread, putting it into a “sleep” state, and schedules execution of another thread.
a = Thread.new { print "a"; Thread.stop; print "c" } sleep 0.1 while a.status!='sleep' print "b" a.run a.join #=> "abc"
Returns an array of Thread objects for all threads that are either runnable or stopped.
Thread.new { sleep(200) } Thread.new { 1000000.times {|i| i*i } } Thread.new { Thread.stop } Thread.list.each {|t| p t}
This will produce:
#<Thread:0x401b3e84 sleep> #<Thread:0x401b3f38 run> #<Thread:0x401b3fb0 sleep> #<Thread:0x401bdf4c run>
Returns the status of thr.
"sleep"
Returned if this thread is sleeping or waiting on I/O
"run"
When this thread is executing
"aborting"
If this thread is aborting
false
When this thread is terminated normally
nil
If terminated with an exception.
a = Thread.new { raise("die now") } b = Thread.new { Thread.stop } c = Thread.new { Thread.exit } d = Thread.new { sleep } d.kill #=> #<Thread:0x401b3678 aborting> a.status #=> nil b.status #=> "sleep" c.status #=> false d.status #=> "aborting" Thread.current.status #=> "run"
Returns true if thr is dead or sleeping.
a = Thread.new { Thread.stop } b = Thread.current a.stop? #=> true b.stop? #=> false
Returns the current backtrace of the target thread.
Returns internal information of TracePoint.
The contents of the returned value are implementation specific. It may be changed in future.
This method is only for debugging TracePoint itself.
A convenience method for TracePoint.new, that activates the trace automatically.
trace = TracePoint.trace(:call) { |tp| [tp.lineno, tp.event] } #=> #<TracePoint:enabled> trace.enabled? #=> true
Performs a test on one or both of the filesystem entities at the given paths path0 and path1:
Each path path0 or path1 points to a file, directory, device, pipe, etc.
Character char selects a specific test.
The tests:
Each of these tests operates only on the entity at path0, and returns true or false; for a non-existent entity, returns false (does not raise exception):
| Character | Test |
|---|---|
'b' |
Whether the entity is a block device. |
'c' |
Whether the entity is a character device. |
'd' |
Whether the entity is a directory. |
'e' |
Whether the entity is an existing entity. |
'f' |
Whether the entity is an existing regular file. |
'g' |
Whether the entity's setgid bit is set. |
'G' |
Whether the entity's group ownership is equal to the caller's. |
'k' |
Whether the entity's sticky bit is set. |
'l' |
Whether the entity is a symbolic link. |
'o' |
Whether the entity is owned by the caller's effective uid. |
'O' |
Like 'o', but uses the real uid (not the effective uid). |
'p' |
Whether the entity is a FIFO device (named pipe). |
'r' |
Whether the entity is readable by the caller's effecive uid/gid. |
'R' |
Like 'r', but uses the real uid/gid (not the effective uid/gid). |

Whether the entity is a socket. |
'u' |
Whether the entity's setuid bit is set. |
'w' |
Whether the entity is writable by the caller's effective uid/gid. |
'W' |
Like 'w', but uses the real uid/gid (not the effective uid/gid). |
'x' |
Whether the entity is executable by the caller's effective uid/gid. |
'X' |
Like 'x', but uses the real uid/gid (not the effecive uid/git). |
'z' |
Whether the entity exists and is of length zero. |
This test operates only on the entity at path0, and returns an integer size or nil:
| Character | Test |
|---|---|
's' |
Returns positive integer size if the entity exists and has non-zero length, nil otherwise. |
Each of these tests operates only on the entity at path0, and returns a Time object; raises an exception if the entity does not exist:
| Character | Test |
|---|---|
'A' |
Last access time for the entity. |
'C' |
Last change time for the entity. |
'M' |
Last modification time for the entity. |
Each of these tests operates on the modification time (mtime) of each of the entities at path0 and path1, and returns a true or false; returns false if either entity does not exist:
| Character | Test |
|---|---|
'<' |
Whether the 'mtime` at `path0` is less than that at `path1`. |
'=' |
Whether the 'mtime` at `path0` is equal to that at `path1`. |
'>' |
Whether the 'mtime` at `path0` is greater than that at `path1`. |
This test operates on the content of each of the entities at path0 and path1, and returns a true or false; returns false if either entity does not exist:
| Character | Test |
|---|---|
'-' |
Whether the entities exist and are identical. |
Equivalent to:
io.write(sprintf(format_string, *objects))
For details on format_string, see Format Specifications.
With the single argument format_string, formats objects into the string, then writes the formatted string to $stdout:
printf('%4.4d %10s %2.2f', 24, 24, 24.0)
Output (on $stdout):
0024 24 24.00#
With arguments io and format_string, formats objects into the string, then writes the formatted string to io:
printf($stderr, '%4.4d %10s %2.2f', 24, 24, 24.0)
Output (on $stderr):
0024 24 24.00# => nil
With no arguments, does nothing.
Equivalent to $stdout.print(*objects), this method is the straightforward way to write to $stdout.
Writes the given objects to $stdout; returns nil. Appends the output record separator $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR $\), if it is not nil.
With argument objects given, for each object:
Converts via its method to_s if not a string.
Writes to stdout.
If not the last object, writes the output field separator $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR ($, if it is not nil.
With default separators:
objects = [0, 0.0, Rational(0, 1), Complex(0, 0), :zero, 'zero'] $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR print(*objects)
Output:
nil nil 00.00/10+0izerozero
With specified separators:
$OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR = "\n" $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ',' print(*objects)
Output:
0,0.0,0/1,0+0i,zero,zero
With no argument given, writes the content of $_ (which is usually the most recent user input):
gets # Sets $_ to the most recent user input. print # Prints $_.
Returns a URI object derived from the given uri, which may be a URI string or an existing URI object:
# Returns a new URI. uri = URI('http://github.com/ruby/ruby') # => #<URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby> # Returns the given URI. URI(uri) # => #<URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby>
Returns a URI object derived from the given uri, which may be a URI string or an existing URI object:
# Returns a new URI. uri = URI('http://github.com/ruby/ruby') # => #<URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby> # Returns the given URI. URI(uri) # => #<URI::HTTP http://github.com/ruby/ruby>
Returns the string resulting from formatting objects into format_string.
For details on format_string, see Format Specifications.
Creates a new child process by doing one of the following in that process:
Passing string command_line to the shell.
Invoking the executable at exe_path.
This method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
Returns:
true if the command exits with status zero.
false if the exit status is a non-zero integer.
nil if the command could not execute.
Raises an exception (instead of returning false or nil) if keyword argument exception is set to true.
Assigns the command’s error status to $?.
The new process is created using the system system call; it may inherit some of its environment from the calling program (possibly including open file descriptors).
Argument env, if given, is a hash that affects ENV for the new process; see Execution Environment.
Argument options is a hash of options for the new process; see Execution Options.
The first required argument is one of the following:
command_line if it is a string, and if it begins with a shell reserved word or special built-in, or if it contains one or more meta characters.
exe_path otherwise.
Argument command_line
String argument command_line is a command line to be passed to a shell; it must begin with a shell reserved word, begin with a special built-in, or contain meta characters:
system('if true; then echo "Foo"; fi') # => true # Shell reserved word. system('exit') # => true # Built-in. system('date > /tmp/date.tmp') # => true # Contains meta character. system('date > /nop/date.tmp') # => false system('date > /nop/date.tmp', exception: true) # Raises RuntimeError.
Assigns the command’s error status to $?:
system('exit') # => true # Built-in. $? # => #<Process::Status: pid 640610 exit 0> system('date > /nop/date.tmp') # => false $? # => #<Process::Status: pid 640742 exit 2>
The command line may also contain arguments and options for the command:
system('echo "Foo"') # => true
Output:
Foo
See Execution Shell for details about the shell.
Raises an exception if the new process could not execute.
Argument exe_path
Argument exe_path is one of the following:
The string path to an executable to be called.
A 2-element array containing the path to an executable and the string to be used as the name of the executing process.
Example:
system('/usr/bin/date') # => true # Path to date on Unix-style system. system('foo') # => nil # Command failed.
Output:
Mon Aug 28 11:43:10 AM CDT 2023
Assigns the command’s error status to $?:
system('/usr/bin/date') # => true $? # => #<Process::Status: pid 645605 exit 0> system('foo') # => nil $? # => #<Process::Status: pid 645608 exit 127>
Ruby invokes the executable directly. This form does not use the shell; see Arguments args for caveats.
system('doesnt_exist') # => nil
If one or more args is given, each is an argument or option to be passed to the executable:
system('echo', 'C*') # => true system('echo', 'hello', 'world') # => true
Output:
C* hello world
Raises an exception if the new process could not execute.
