Results for: "OptionParser"

Returns the element from self found by a binary search, or nil if the search found no suitable element.

See Binary Searching.

Related: see Methods for Fetching.

Returns +self+ if +self+ is not a zero value, +nil+ otherwise;
uses method <tt>zero?</tt> for the evaluation.

The returned +self+ allows the method to be chained:

  a = %w[z Bb bB bb BB a aA Aa AA A]
  a.sort {|a, b| (a.downcase <=> b.downcase).nonzero? || a <=> b }
  # => ["A", "a", "AA", "Aa", "aA", "BB", "Bb", "bB", "bb", "z"]

Of the Core and Standard Library classes,
Integer, Float, Rational, and Complex use this implementation.

Extracts data from self.

If block is not given, forming objects that become the elements of a new array, and returns that array. Otherwise, yields each object.

See Packed Data.

Like String#unpack, but unpacks and returns only the first extracted object. See Packed Data.

Inserts the given other_string into self; returns self.

If the Integer index is positive, inserts other_string at offset index:

'foo'.insert(1, 'bar') # => "fbaroo"

If the Integer index is negative, counts backward from the end of self and inserts other_string at offset index+1 (that is, after self[index]):

'foo'.insert(-2, 'bar') # => "fobaro"

Returns an array of the characters in self:

'hello'.chars     # => ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"]
'тест'.chars      # => ["т", "е", "с", "т"]
'こんにちは'.chars # => ["こ", "ん", "に", "ち", "は"]

Checks the compatibility of two objects.

If the objects are both strings they are compatible when they are concatenatable. The encoding of the concatenated string will be returned if they are compatible, nil if they are not.

Encoding.compatible?("\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"), "b")
#=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>

Encoding.compatible?(
  "\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"),
  "\xa1\xa1".force_encoding("euc-jp"))
#=> nil

If the objects are non-strings their encodings are compatible when they have an encoding and:

• Either encoding is US-ASCII compatible

• One of the encodings is a 7-bit encoding

Returns a hash of values parsed from string according to the given format:

Date._strptime('2001-02-03', '%Y-%m-%d') # => {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}

For other formats, see Formats for Dates and Times. (Unlike Date.strftime, does not support flags and width.)

See also strptime(3).

Related: Date.strptime (returns a Date object).

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string, according to the given format:

Date.strptime('2001-02-03', '%Y-%m-%d')  # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('03-02-2001', '%d-%m-%Y')  # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('2001-034', '%Y-%j')       # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('2001-W05-6', '%G-W%V-%u') # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('2001 04 6', '%Y %U %w')   # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('2001 05 6', '%Y %W %u')   # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>
Date.strptime('sat3feb01', '%a%d%b%y')   # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

For other formats, see Formats for Dates and Times. (Unlike Date.strftime, does not support flags and width.)

Related: Date._strptime (returns a hash).

Parses the given representation of date and time with the given template, and returns a hash of parsed elements. _strptime does not support specification of flags and width unlike strftime.

See also strptime(3) and strftime.

Parses the given representation of date and time with the given template, and creates a DateTime object. strptime does not support specification of flags and width unlike strftime.

Returns the second in range (0..59):

DateTime.new(2001, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).sec # => 6

Works similar to parse except that instead of using a heuristic to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that describes the format of the string.

Raises ArgumentError if the date or format is invalid.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

Time.strptime(...) {|y| y < 100 ? (y >= 69 ? y + 1900 : y + 2000) : y}

require 'time'

You must require ‘time’ to use this method.

Returns pathname configuration variable using fpathconf().

name should be a constant under Etc which begins with PC_.

The return value is an integer or nil. nil means indefinite limit. (fpathconf() returns -1 but errno is not set.)

require 'etc'
IO.pipe {|r, w|
  p w.pathconf(Etc::PC_PIPE_BUF) #=> 4096
}

Returns an element from self selected by a binary search.

See Binary Searching.

Returns a new regexp that is the union of the given patterns:

r = Regexp.union(%w[cat dog])      # => /cat|dog/
r.match('cat')      # => #<MatchData "cat">
r.match('dog')      # => #<MatchData "dog">
r.match('cog')      # => nil

For each pattern that is a string, Regexp.new(pattern) is used:

Regexp.union('penzance')             # => /penzance/
Regexp.union('a+b*c')                # => /a\+b\*c/
Regexp.union('skiing', 'sledding')   # => /skiing|sledding/
Regexp.union(['skiing', 'sledding']) # => /skiing|sledding/

For each pattern that is a regexp, it is used as is, including its flags:

Regexp.union(/foo/i, /bar/m, /baz/x)
# => /(?i-mx:foo)|(?m-ix:bar)|(?x-mi:baz)/
Regexp.union([/foo/i, /bar/m, /baz/x])
# => /(?i-mx:foo)|(?m-ix:bar)|(?x-mi:baz)/

With no arguments, returns /(?!)/:

Regexp.union # => /(?!)/

If any regexp pattern contains captures, the behavior is unspecified.

Returns the member names of the Struct descendant as an array:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
Customer.members # => [:name, :address, :zip]

Returns the member names from self as an array:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
Customer.new.members # => [:name, :address, :zip]

Related: to_a.

Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.

If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.

See Pathname#realpath.

Returns the parent directory.

This is same as self + '..'.

Returns an array of interface addresses. An element of the array is an instance of Socket::Ifaddr.

This method can be used to find multicast-enabled interfaces:

pp Socket.getifaddrs.reject {|ifaddr|
  !ifaddr.addr.ip? || (ifaddr.flags & Socket::IFF_MULTICAST == 0)
}.map {|ifaddr| [ifaddr.name, ifaddr.ifindex, ifaddr.addr] }
#=> [["eth0", 2, #<Addrinfo: 221.186.184.67>],
#    ["eth0", 2, #<Addrinfo: fe80::216:3eff:fe95:88bb%eth0>]]

Obtains the port number for service_name.

If protocol_name is not given, “tcp” is assumed.

Socket.getservbyname("smtp")          #=> 25
Socket.getservbyname("shell")         #=> 514
Socket.getservbyname("syslog", "udp") #=> 514

Obtains the port number for port.

If protocol_name is not given, “tcp” is assumed.

Socket.getservbyport(80)         #=> "www"
Socket.getservbyport(514, "tcp") #=> "shell"
Socket.getservbyport(514, "udp") #=> "syslog"

Gets a socket option. These are protocol and system specific, see your local system documentation for details. The option is returned as a Socket::Option object.

Parameters

• level is an integer, usually one of the SOL_ constants such as Socket::SOL_SOCKET, or a protocol level. A string or symbol of the name, possibly without prefix, is also accepted.

• optname is an integer, usually one of the SO_ constants, such as Socket::SO_REUSEADDR. A string or symbol of the name, possibly without prefix, is also accepted.

Examples

Some socket options are integers with boolean values, in this case getsockopt could be called like this:

reuseaddr = sock.getsockopt(:SOCKET, :REUSEADDR).bool

optval = sock.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET,Socket::SO_REUSEADDR)
optval = optval.unpack "i"
reuseaddr = optval[0] == 0 ? false : true

Some socket options are integers with numeric values, in this case getsockopt could be called like this:

ipttl = sock.getsockopt(:IP, :TTL).int

optval = sock.getsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_IP, Socket::IP_TTL)
ipttl = optval.unpack1("i")

Option values may be structs. Decoding them can be complex as it involves examining your system headers to determine the correct definition. An example is a +struct linger+, which may be defined in your system headers as:

struct linger {
  int l_onoff;
  int l_linger;
};

In this case getsockopt could be called like this:

# Socket::Option knows linger structure.
onoff, linger = sock.getsockopt(:SOCKET, :LINGER).linger

optval =  sock.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_LINGER)
onoff, linger = optval.unpack "ii"
onoff = onoff == 0 ? false : true
