Returns version string from program_name, version and release.
Parses command line arguments argv in order. When a block is given, each non-option argument is yielded. When optional into keyword argument is provided, the parsed option values are stored there via []= method (so it can be Hash, or OpenStruct, or other similar object).
Returns the rest of argv left unparsed.
Same as order, but removes switches destructively. Non-option arguments remain in argv.
Parses command line arguments argv in permutation mode and returns list of non-option arguments. When optional into keyword argument is provided, the parsed option values are stored there via []= method (so it can be Hash, or OpenStruct, or other similar object).
Same as permute, but removes switches destructively. Non-option arguments remain in argv.
Wrapper method for getopts.rb.
params = ARGV.getopts("ab:", "foo", "bar:", "zot:Z;zot option") # params["a"] = true # -a # params["b"] = "1" # -b1 # params["foo"] = "1" # --foo # params["bar"] = "x" # --bar x # params["zot"] = "z" # --zot Z
Option symbolize_names (boolean) specifies whether returned Hash keys should be Symbols; defaults to false (use Strings).
params = ARGV.getopts("ab:", "foo", "bar:", "zot:Z;zot option", symbolize_names: true) # params[:a] = true # -a # params[:b] = "1" # -b1 # params[:foo] = "1" # --foo # params[:bar] = "x" # --bar x # params[:zot] = "z" # --zot Z
Loads options from file names as filename. Does nothing when the file is not present. Returns whether successfully loaded.
filename defaults to basename of the program without suffix in a directory ~/.options, then the basename with ‘.options’ suffix under XDG and Haiku standard places.
The optional into keyword argument works exactly like that accepted in method parse.
Returns an array of member names of the data class:
Measure = Data.define(:amount, :unit) Measure.members # => [:amount, :unit]
Returns the member names from self as an array:
Measure = Data.define(:amount, :unit) distance = Measure[10, 'km'] distance.members #=> [:amount, :unit]
Returns the regexp that produced the match:
m = /a.*b/.match("abc") # => #<MatchData "ab"> m.regexp # => /a.*b/
Looks up the first IP address for name.
Looks up all IP address for name.
Looks up the hostname of address.
Looks up all hostnames for address.
Looks up the first IP address for name.
Looks up all IP address for name.
Looks up the hostname of address.
Looks up all hostnames for address.
Closes the file. If unlink_now is true, then the file will be unlinked (deleted) after closing. Of course, you can choose to later call unlink if you do not unlink it now.
If you don’t explicitly unlink the temporary file, the removal will be delayed until the object is finalized.
Closes and unlinks (deletes) the file. Has the same effect as called close(true).
Returns the parameter information of this proc. If the lambda keyword is provided and not nil, treats the proc as a lambda if true and as a non-lambda if false.
prc = proc{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters #=> [[:opt, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]] prc = lambda{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters #=> [[:req, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]] prc = proc{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters(lambda: true) #=> [[:req, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]] prc = lambda{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters(lambda: false) #=> [[:opt, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]]
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns the bound receiver of the method object.
(1..3).method(:map).receiver # => 1..3
Returns the class or module on which this method is defined. In other words,
meth.owner.instance_methods(false).include?(meth.name) # => true
holds as long as the method is not removed/undefined/replaced, (with private_instance_methods instead of instance_methods if the method is private).
See also Method#receiver.
(1..3).method(:map).owner #=> Enumerable
