Setter for attributes val.
Returns the conversion path of ec.
The result is an array of conversions.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("ISO-8859-1", "EUC-JP", crlf_newline: true) p ec.convpath #=> [[#<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>, #<Encoding:UTF-8>], # [#<Encoding:UTF-8>, #<Encoding:EUC-JP>], # "crlf_newline"]
Each element of the array is a pair of encodings or a string. A pair means an encoding conversion. A string means a decorator.
In the above example, [#<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>,

Create a new repository for the given filepath.
Simple deprecation method that deprecates name by wrapping it up in a dummy method. It warns on each call to the dummy method telling the user of repl (unless repl is :none) and the year/month that it is planned to go away.

Returns elements from self in a new array; does not modify self.
The objects included in the returned array are the elements of self selected by the given specifiers, each of which must be a numeric index or a Range.
In brief:
a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] # Index specifiers. a.values_at(2, 0, 2, 0) # => ["c", "a", "c", "a"] # May repeat. a.values_at(-4, -3, -2, -1) # => ["a", "b", "c", "d"] # Counts backwards if negative. a.values_at(-50, 50) # => [nil, nil] # Outside of self. # Range specifiers. a.values_at(1..3) # => ["b", "c", "d"] # From range.begin to range.end. a.values_at(1...3) # => ["b", "c"] # End excluded. a.values_at(3..1) # => [] # No such elements. a.values_at(-3..3) # => ["b", "c", "d"] # Negative range.begin counts backwards. a.values_at(-50..3) # Raises RangeError. a.values_at(1..-2) # => ["b", "c"] # Negative range.end counts backwards. a.values_at(1..-50) # => [] # No such elements. # Mixture of specifiers. a.values_at(2..3, 3, 0..1, 0) # => ["c", "d", "d", "a", "b", "a"]
With no specifiers given, returns a new empty array:
a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] a.values_at # => []
For each numeric specifier index, includes an element:
For each non-negative numeric specifier index that is in-range (less than self.size), includes the element at offset index:
a.values_at(0, 2) # => ["a", "c"] a.values_at(0.1, 2.9) # => ["a", "c"]
For each negative numeric index that is in-range (greater than or equal to - self.size), counts backwards from the end of self:
a.values_at(-1, -4) # => ["d", "a"]
The given indexes may be in any order, and may repeat:
a.values_at(2, 0, 1, 0, 2) # => ["c", "a", "b", "a", "c"]
For each index that is out-of-range, includes nil:
a.values_at(4, -5) # => [nil, nil]
For each Range specifier range, includes elements according to range.begin and range.end:
If both range.begin and range.end are non-negative and in-range (less than self.size), includes elements from index range.begin through range.end - 1 (if range.exclude_end?), or through range.end (otherwise):
a.values_at(1..2) # => ["b", "c"] a.values_at(1...2) # => ["b"]
If range.begin is negative and in-range (greater than or equal to - self.size), counts backwards from the end of self:
a.values_at(-2..3) # => ["c", "d"]
If range.begin is negative and out-of-range, raises an exception:
a.values_at(-5..3) # Raises RangeError.
If range.end is positive and out-of-range, extends the returned array with nil elements:
a.values_at(1..5) # => ["b", "c", "d", nil, nil]
If range.end is negative and in-range, counts backwards from the end of self:
a.values_at(1..-2) # => ["b", "c"]
If range.end is negative and out-of-range, returns an empty array:
a.values_at(1..-5) # => []
The given ranges may be in any order and may repeat:
a.values_at(2..3, 0..1, 2..3) # => ["c", "d", "a", "b", "c", "d"]
The given specifiers may be any mixture of indexes and ranges:
a.values_at(3, 1..2, 0, 2..3) # => ["d", "b", "c", "a", "c", "d"]

Removes the element of self at the given index, which must be an integer-convertible object.
When index is non-negative, deletes the element at offset index:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.delete_at(1) # => "bar" a # => [:foo, 2]
When index is negative, counts backward from the end of the array:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.delete_at(-2) # => "bar" a # => [:foo, 2]
When index is out of range, returns nil.
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.delete_at(3) # => nil a.delete_at(-4) # => nil

With a block given, calls the block with each successive element of self; stops iterating if the block returns false or nil; returns a new array containing those elements for which the block returned a truthy value:
a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a.take_while {|element| element < 3 } # => [0, 1, 2] a.take_while {|element| true } # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a.take_while {|element| false } # => []
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.
Does not modify self.

Returns whether self starts with any of the given string_or_regexp.
Matches patterns against the beginning of self. For each given string_or_regexp, the pattern is:
string_or_regexp itself, if it is a Regexp.
Regexp.quote(string_or_regexp), if string_or_regexp is a string.
Returns true if any pattern matches the beginning, false otherwise:
'hello'.start_with?('hell') # => true 'hello'.start_with?(/H/i) # => true 'hello'.start_with?('heaven', 'hell') # => true 'hello'.start_with?('heaven', 'paradise') # => false 'тест'.start_with?('т') # => true 'こんにちは'.start_with?('こ') # => true

Returns the next-larger representable Float.
These examples show the internally stored values (64-bit hexadecimal) for each Float f and for the corresponding f.next_float:

Like backtrace, but returns each line of the execution stack as a Thread::Backtrace::Location. Accepts the same arguments as backtrace.
f = Fiber.new { Fiber.yield } f.resume loc = f.backtrace_locations.first loc.label #=> "yield" loc.path #=> "test.rb" loc.lineno #=> 1
Returns the dirpath string that was used to create self (or nil if created by method Dir.for_fd):
Dir.new('example').path # => "example"
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. The given pathname may start with a “~”, which expands to the process owner’s home directory (the environment variable HOME must be set correctly). “~user” expands to the named user’s home directory.
File.expand_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "/home/oracle/bin"
A simple example of using dir_string is as follows.
File.expand_path("ruby", "/usr/bin") #=> "/usr/bin/ruby"
A more complex example which also resolves parent directory is as follows. Suppose we are in bin/mygem and want the absolute path of lib/mygem.rb.
File.expand_path("../../lib/mygem.rb", __FILE__) #=> ".../path/to/project/lib/mygem.rb"
So first it resolves the parent of __FILE__, that is bin/, then go to the parent, the root of the project and appends lib/mygem.rb.
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. If the given pathname starts with a “~” it is NOT expanded, it is treated as a normal directory name.
File.absolute_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "<relative_path>/~oracle/bin"
