Results for: "Dir.chdir"

Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.

type should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.

protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain. 0 is default protocol for the domain.

s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair
s1.send "a", 0
s1.send "b", 0
p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab"

Finds and returns the object in nested objects that is specified by key and identifiers. The nested objects may be instances of various classes. See Dig Methods.

Nested Hashes:

h = {foo: {bar: {baz: 2}}}
h.dig(:foo) # => {:bar=>{:baz=>2}}
h.dig(:foo, :bar) # => {:baz=>2}
h.dig(:foo, :bar, :baz) # => 2
h.dig(:foo, :bar, :BAZ) # => nil

Nested Hashes and Arrays:

h = {foo: {bar: [:a, :b, :c]}}
h.dig(:foo, :bar, 2) # => :c

This method will use the default values for keys that are not present:

h = {foo: {bar: [:a, :b, :c]}}
h.dig(:hello) # => nil
h.default_proc = -> (hash, _key) { hash }
h.dig(:hello, :world) # => h
h.dig(:hello, :world, :foo, :bar, 2) # => :c

Opens an IRB session where binding.irb is called which allows for interactive debugging. You can call any methods or variables available in the current scope, and mutate state if you need to.

Given a Ruby file called potato.rb containing the following code:

class Potato
  def initialize
    @cooked = false
    binding.irb
    puts "Cooked potato: #{@cooked}"
  end
end

Potato.new

Running ruby potato.rb will open an IRB session where binding.irb is called, and you will see the following:

$ ruby potato.rb

From: potato.rb @ line 4 :

    1: class Potato
    2:   def initialize
    3:     @cooked = false
 => 4:     binding.irb
    5:     puts "Cooked potato: #{@cooked}"
    6:   end
    7: end
    8:
    9: Potato.new

irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):001:0>

You can type any valid Ruby code and it will be evaluated in the current context. This allows you to debug without having to run your code repeatedly:

irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):001:0> @cooked
=> false
irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):002:0> self.class
=> Potato
irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):003:0> caller.first
=> ".../2.5.1/lib/ruby/2.5.0/irb/workspace.rb:85:in `eval'"
irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):004:0> @cooked = true
=> true

You can exit the IRB session with the exit command. Note that exiting will resume execution where binding.irb had paused it, as you can see from the output printed to standard output in this example:

irb(#<Potato:0x00007feea1916670>):005:0> exit
Cooked potato: true

See IRB for more information.

Return candidates for word.

Parses environment variable env or its uppercase with splitting like a shell.

env defaults to the basename of the program.

Returns the binding associated with prc.

def fred(param)
  proc {}
end

b = fred(99)
eval("param", b.binding)   #=> 99

Deactivates the trace

Return true if trace was enabled. Return false if trace was disabled.

trace.enabled?      #=> true
trace.disable       #=> true (previous status)
trace.enabled?      #=> false
trace.disable       #=> false

If a block is given, the trace will only be disable within the scope of the block.

trace.enabled?
#=> true

trace.disable do
    trace.enabled?
    # only disabled for this block
end

trace.enabled?
#=> true

Note: You cannot access event hooks within the block.

trace.disable { p tp.lineno }
#=> RuntimeError: access from outside

Return the generated binding object from event.

Note that for :c_call and :c_return events, the method will return nil, since C methods themselves do not have bindings.

When RubyGems is required, Kernel#require is replaced with our own which is capable of loading gems on demand.

When you call require 'x', this is what happens:

• If the file can be loaded from the existing Ruby loadpath, it is.

• Otherwise, installed gems are searched for a file that matches. If it’s found in gem ‘y’, that gem is activated (added to the loadpath).

The normal require functionality of returning false if that file has already been loaded is preserved.

Returns a Binding object, describing the variable and method bindings at the point of call. This object can be used when calling Binding#eval to execute the evaluated command in this environment, or extracting its local variables.

class User
  def initialize(name, position)
    @name = name
    @position = position
  end

  def get_binding
    binding
  end
end

user = User.new('Joan', 'manager')
template = '{name: @name, position: @position}'

# evaluate template in context of the object
eval(template, user.get_binding)
#=> {:name=>"Joan", :position=>"manager"}

Binding#local_variable_get can be used to access the variables whose names are reserved Ruby keywords:

# This is valid parameter declaration, but `if` parameter can't
# be accessed by name, because it is a reserved word.
def validate(field, validation, if: nil)
  condition = binding.local_variable_get('if')
  return unless condition

  # ...Some implementation ...
end

validate(:name, :empty?, if: false) # skips validation
validate(:name, :empty?, if: true) # performs validation

Returns the first element or elements.

With no argument, returns the first element, or nil if there is none:

(1..4).first                   # => 1
%w[a b c].first                # => "a"
{foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 2}.first # => [:foo, 1]
[].first                       # => nil

With integer argument n, returns an array containing the first n elements that exist:

(1..4).first(2)                   # => [1, 2]
%w[a b c d].first(3)              # => ["a", "b", "c"]
%w[a b c d].first(50)             # => ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
{foo: 1, bar: 1, baz: 2}.first(2) # => [[:foo, 1], [:bar, 1]]
[].first(2)                       # => []

Returns a Digest subclass by name

require 'openssl'

OpenSSL::Digest("MD5")
# => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5

Digest("Foo")
# => NameError: wrong constant name Foo

Returns a Digest subclass by name

require 'openssl'

OpenSSL::Digest("MD5")
# => OpenSSL::Digest::MD5

Digest("Foo")
# => NameError: wrong constant name Foo

Disables garbage collection, returning true if garbage collection was already disabled.

GC.disable   #=> false
GC.disable   #=> true

Returns time stamp of the target file if it exists and is newer than or equal to all of times.

Returns a string usable in Dir.glob to match all requirable paths for this spec.

Creates a new directory in the tar file name with mode

Calls the given block once for each key, value pair in the database.

Returns self.

Iterates over keys and values. Note that unlike other collections, each without block isn’t supported.

@api private

Calls the given block with each successive character from self; returns self:

'hello'.each_char {|char| print char, ' ' }
print "\n"
'тест'.each_char {|char| print char, ' ' }
print "\n"
'こんにちは'.each_char {|char| print char, ' ' }
print "\n"

Output:

h e l l o
т е с т
こ ん に ち は

Returns an enumerator if no block is given.

Changes the encoding of self to encoding, which may be a string encoding name or an Encoding object; returns self:

s = 'łał'
s.bytes                   # => [197, 130, 97, 197, 130]
s.encoding                # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
s.force_encoding('ascii') # => "\xC5\x82a\xC5\x82"
s.encoding                # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>

Does not change the underlying bytes:

s.bytes                   # => [197, 130, 97, 197, 130]

Makes the change even if the given encoding is invalid for self (as is the change above):

s.valid_encoding?                 # => false
s.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # => "łał"
s.valid_encoding?                 # => true

Returns true if self is encoded correctly, false otherwise:

"\xc2\xa1".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding? # => true
"\xc2".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding?     # => false
"\x80".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding?     # => false
