argtype is an Array of arguments, passed to the callback function
call_type is the abi of the closure
block is passed to the callback

Message to promote available RubyGems update with related gem update command.
Terminates the RubyGems process with the given exit_code
Returns the birth time for stat.
If the platform doesn’t have birthtime, raises NotImplementedError.
File.write("testfile", "foo") sleep 10 File.write("testfile", "bar") sleep 10 File.chmod(0644, "testfile") sleep 10 File.read("testfile") File.stat("testfile").birthtime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:17 +0900 File.stat("testfile").mtime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:27 +0900 File.stat("testfile").ctime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:37 +0900 File.stat("testfile").atime #=> 2014-02-24 11:19:47 +0900
Creates a new package that will read or write to the file gem.
Sanitize the descriptive fields in the spec. Sometimes non-ASCII characters will garble the site index. Non-ASCII characters will be replaced by their XML entity equivalent.
Returns a new Array that is the union of self and all given Arrays other_arrays; duplicates are removed; order is preserved; items are compared using eql?:
[0, 1, 2, 3].union([4, 5], [6, 7]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] [0, 1, 1].union([2, 1], [3, 1]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3] [0, 1, 2, 3].union([3, 2], [1, 0]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3]
Returns a copy of self if no arguments given.
Related: Array#|.
Calls the given block self times with each integer in (0..self-1):
a = [] 5.times {|i| a.push(i) } # => 5 a # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns the last access time for the named file as a Time object.
file_name can be an IO object.
File.atime("testfile") #=> Wed Apr 09 08:51:48 CDT 2003
Returns the modification time for the named file as a Time object.
file_name can be an IO object.
File.mtime("testfile") #=> Tue Apr 08 12:58:04 CDT 2003
Returns the change time for the named file (the time at which directory information about the file was changed, not the file itself).
file_name can be an IO object.
Note that on Windows (NTFS), returns creation time (birth time).
File.ctime("testfile") #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:13 CDT 2003
Sets the access and modification times of each named file to the first two arguments. If a file is a symlink, this method acts upon its referent rather than the link itself; for the inverse behavior see File.lutime. Returns the number of file names in the argument list.
Sets the access and modification times of each named file to the first two arguments. If a file is a symlink, this method acts upon the link itself as opposed to its referent; for the inverse behavior, see File.utime. Returns the number of file names in the argument list.
Returns the last access time (a Time object) for file, or epoch if file has not been accessed.
File.new("testfile").atime #=> Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 CST 1969
Returns the modification time for file.
File.new("testfile").mtime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:14 CDT 2003
Returns the change time for file (that is, the time directory information about the file was changed, not the file itself).
Note that on Windows (NTFS), returns creation time (birth time).
File.new("testfile").ctime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:14 CDT 2003
Returns true if the named files are identical.
file_1 and file_2 can be an IO object.
open("a", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "a") #=> true p File.identical?("a", "./a") #=> true File.link("a", "b") p File.identical?("a", "b") #=> true File.symlink("a", "c") p File.identical?("a", "c") #=> true open("d", "w") {} p File.identical?("a", "d") #=> false
