Returns true if the named file is readable by the effective user and group id of this process. See eaccess(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not readable by the effective user/group.
Returns true if the named file is writable by the effective user and group id of this process. See eaccess(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not writable by the effective user/group.
Returns true if the named file is executable by the effective user and group id of this process. See eaccess(3).
Windows does not support execute permissions separately from read permissions. On Windows, a file is only considered executable if it ends in .bat, .cmd, .com, or .exe.
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not executable by the effective user/group.
Returns true if the named file exists and is a regular file.
file can be an IO object.
If the file argument is a symbolic link, it will resolve the symbolic link and use the file referenced by the link.
Enables garbage collection, returning true if garbage collection was previously disabled.
GC.disable #=> false GC.enable #=> true GC.enable #=> false
Disables garbage collection, returning true if garbage collection was already disabled.
GC.disable #=> false GC.disable #=> true
Returns true if the file at path new is newer than all the files at paths in array old_list; false otherwise.
Argument new and the elements of old_list should be interpretable as paths:
FileUtils.uptodate?('Rakefile', ['Gemfile', 'README.md']) # => true FileUtils.uptodate?('Gemfile', ['Rakefile', 'README.md']) # => false
A non-existent file is considered to be infinitely old.

Escapes a string so that it can be safely used in a Bourne shell command line. str can be a non-string object that responds to to_s.
str must not contain NUL characters because of nature of exec system call.
Note that a resulted string should be used unquoted and is not intended for use in double quotes nor in single quotes.
argv = Shellwords.escape("It's better to give than to receive") argv #=> "It\\'s\\ better\\ to\\ give\\ than\\ to\\ receive"
String#shellescape is a shorthand for this function.
argv = "It's better to give than to receive".shellescape argv #=> "It\\'s\\ better\\ to\\ give\\ than\\ to\\ receive" # Search files in lib for method definitions pattern = "^[ \t]*def " open("| grep -Ern -e #{pattern.shellescape} lib") { |grep| grep.each_line { |line| file, lineno, matched_line = line.split(':', 3) # ... } }
It is the caller’s responsibility to encode the string in the right encoding for the shell environment where this string is used.
Multibyte characters are treated as multibyte characters, not as bytes.
Returns an empty quoted String if str has a length of zero.

Serializes obj and all descendant objects. If anIO is specified, the serialized data will be written to it, otherwise the data will be returned as a String. If limit is specified, the traversal of subobjects will be limited to that depth. If limit is negative, no checking of depth will be performed.
class Klass def initialize(str) @str = str end def say_hello @str end end
(produces no output)
o = Klass.new("hello\n") data = Marshal.dump(o) obj = Marshal.load(data) obj.say_hello #=> "hello\n"
Marshal can’t dump following objects:
anonymous Class/Module.
objects which are related to system (ex: Dir, File::Stat, IO, File, Socket and so on)
an instance of MatchData, Data, Method, UnboundMethod, Proc, Thread, ThreadGroup, Continuation
objects which define singleton methods
Waits up to the continue timeout for a response from the server provided we’re speaking HTTP 1.1 and are expecting a 100-continue response.
