File::join

Returns a new string formed by joining the strings using "/".

File.join("usr", "mail", "gumby")   #=> "usr/mail/gumby"

File::symlink?

Returns true if filepath points to a symbolic link, false otherwise:

symlink = File.symlink('t.txt', 'symlink')
File.symlink?('symlink') # => true
File.symlink?('t.txt')   # => false

Encoding#inspect

Returns a string which represents the encoding for programmers.

Encoding::UTF_8.inspect       #=> "#<Encoding:UTF-8>"
Encoding::ISO_2022_JP.inspect #=> "#<Encoding:ISO-2022-JP (dummy)>"

Encoding::find

Search the encoding with specified name. name should be a string.

Encoding.find("US-ASCII")  #=> #<Encoding:US-ASCII>

Names which this method accept are encoding names and aliases including following special aliases

“external”: default external encoding
“internal”: default internal encoding
“locale”: locale encoding
“filesystem”: filesystem encoding

An ArgumentError is raised when no encoding with name. Only Encoding.find("internal") however returns nil when no encoding named “internal”, in other words, when Ruby has no default internal encoding.

Enumerator#rewind

Rewinds the enumeration sequence to the beginning.

If the enclosed object responds to a “rewind” method, it is called.

Enumerator#inspect

Creates a printable version of e.

Object#inspect

Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of obj. The default inspect shows the object’s class name, an encoding of its memory address, and a list of the instance variables and their values (by calling inspect on each of them). User defined classes should override this method to provide a better representation of obj. When overriding this method, it should return a string whose encoding is compatible with the default external encoding.

[ 1, 2, 3..4, 'five' ].inspect   #=> "[1, 2, 3..4, \"five\"]"
Time.new.inspect                 #=> "2008-03-08 19:43:39 +0900"

class Foo
end
Foo.new.inspect                  #=> "#<Foo:0x0300c868>"

class Bar
  def initialize
    @bar = 1
  end
end
Bar.new.inspect                  #=> "#<Bar:0x0300c868 @bar=1>"

Exception#inspect

Returns a string representation of self:

x = RuntimeError.new('Boom')
x.inspect # => "#<RuntimeError: Boom>"
x = RuntimeError.new
x.inspect # => "#<RuntimeError: RuntimeError>"

NoMatchingPatternKeyError#matchee

Return the matchee associated with this NoMatchingPatternKeyError exception.

Module#include

Invokes Module.append_features on each parameter in reverse order.

Module#refine

Refine mod in the receiver.

Returns a module, where refined methods are defined.

Module#using

Import class refinements from module into the current class or module definition.

Module#refinements

Returns an array of Refinement defined within the receiver.

module A
  refine Integer do
  end

  refine String do
  end
end

p A.refinements

produces:

[#<refinement:Integer@A>, #<refinement:String@A>]

Module::nesting

Returns the list of Modules nested at the point of call.

module M1
  module M2
    $a = Module.nesting
  end
end
$a           #=> [M1::M2, M1]
$a[0].name   #=> "M1::M2"

Module#included

Callback invoked whenever the receiver is included in another module or class. This should be used in preference to Module.append_features if your code wants to perform some action when a module is included in another.

module A
  def A.included(mod)
    puts "#{self} included in #{mod}"
  end
end
module Enumerable
  include A
end
 # => prints "A included in Enumerable"

Module#include?

Returns true if module is included or prepended in mod or one of mod’s ancestors.

module A
end
class B
  include A
end
class C < B
end
B.include?(A)   #=> true
C.include?(A)   #=> true
A.include?(A)   #=> false

cgi = CGI.new
cgi.print    # default:  cgi.print == $DEFAULT_OUTPUT.print

Date::ordinal

Returns a new Date object formed fom the arguments.

With no arguments, returns the date for January 1, -4712:

Date.ordinal.to_s # => "-4712-01-01"

With argument year, returns the date for January 1 of that year:

Date.ordinal(2001).to_s  # => "2001-01-01"
Date.ordinal(-2001).to_s # => "-2001-01-01"

With positive argument yday == n, returns the date for the nth day of the given year:

Date.ordinal(2001, 14).to_s # => "2001-01-14"

With negative argument yday, counts backward from the end of the year:

Date.ordinal(2001, -14).to_s # => "2001-12-18"

Raises an exception if yday is zero or out of range.

See argument start.

Date::_xmlschema

Returns a hash of values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema    # => "2001-02-03"
Date._xmlschema(s) # => {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}

See argument limit.

Date::xmlschema

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema   # => "2001-02-03"
Date.xmlschema(s) # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
