Results for: "remove_const"

Reads and returns the next entry name from self; returns nil if at end-of-stream; see Dir As Stream-Like:

dir = Dir.new('example')
dir.read # => "."
dir.read # => ".."
dir.read # => "config.h"

Returns an array of the entry names in self except for '.' and '..':

dir = Dir.new('/example')
dir.children # => ["config.h", "lib", "main.rb"]

Sets the position in self to zero; see Dir As Stream-Like:

dir = Dir.new('example')
dir.read    # => "."
dir.read    # => ".."
dir.pos     # => 2
dir.rewind  # => #<Dir:example>
dir.pos     # => 0

Returns whether dirpath specifies an empty directory:

dirpath = '/tmp/foo'
Dir.mkdir(dirpath)
Dir.empty?(dirpath)            # => true
Dir.empty?('/example')         # => false
Dir.empty?('/example/main.rb') # => false

Raises an exception if dirpath does not specify a directory or file in the underlying file system.

Changes permission bits on the named file(s) to the bit pattern represented by mode_int. Actual effects are operating system dependent (see the beginning of this section). On Unix systems, see chmod(2) for details. Returns the number of files processed.

File.chmod(0644, "testfile", "out")   #=> 2

Equivalent to File::chmod, but does not follow symbolic links (so it will change the permissions associated with the link, not the file referenced by the link). Often not available.

Returns the name of the file referenced by the given link. Not available on all platforms.

File.symlink("testfile", "link2test")   #=> 0
File.readlink("link2test")              #=> "testfile"

Renames the given file to the new name. Raises a SystemCallError if the file cannot be renamed.

File.rename("afile", "afile.bak")   #=> 0

Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem not containing symlinks or useless dots.

If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.

All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.

Returns the real (absolute) pathname of pathname in the actual filesystem. The real pathname doesn’t contain symlinks or useless dots.

If dir_string is given, it is used as a base directory for interpreting relative pathname instead of the current directory.

The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.

Changes permission bits on file to the bit pattern represented by mode_int. Actual effects are platform dependent; on Unix systems, see chmod(2) for details. Follows symbolic links. Also see File#lchmod.

f = File.new("out", "w");
f.chmod(0644)   #=> 0

With string object given, returns true if path is a string path leading to a directory, or to a symbolic link to a directory; false otherwise:

File.directory?('.')              # => true
File.directory?('foo')            # => false
File.symlink('.', 'dirlink')      # => 0
File.directory?('dirlink')        # => true
File.symlink('t,txt', 'filelink') # => 0
File.directory?('filelink')       # => false

Argument path can be an IO object.

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 exists and has a zero size.

file_name can be an IO object.

Rewinds the enumeration sequence to the beginning.

If the enclosed object responds to a “rewind” method, it is called.

Returns the return value of the iterator.

o = Object.new
def o.each
  yield 1
  yield 2
  yield 3
  100
end

e = o.to_enum

puts e.next                   #=> 1
puts e.next                   #=> 2
puts e.next                   #=> 3

begin
  e.next
rescue StopIteration => ex
  puts ex.result              #=> 100
end

Prevents further modifications to obj. A FrozenError will be raised if modification is attempted. There is no way to unfreeze a frozen object. See also Object#frozen?.

This method returns self.

a = [ "a", "b", "c" ]
a.freeze
a << "z"

produces:

prog.rb:3:in `<<': can't modify frozen Array (FrozenError)
 from prog.rb:3

Objects of the following classes are always frozen: Integer, Float, Symbol.

Invokes Module.prepend_features on each parameter in reverse order.

Refine mod in the receiver.

Returns a module, where refined methods are defined.

The equivalent of included, but for prepended modules.

module A
  def self.prepended(mod)
    puts "#{self} prepended to #{mod}"
  end
end
module Enumerable
  prepend A
end
 # => prints "A prepended to Enumerable"

Prevents further modifications to mod.

This method returns self.

Returns a hash of values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema    # => "2001-02-03"
Date._xmlschema(s) # => {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}

See argument limit.

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

Returns a new Date object with values parsed from string, which should be a valid XML date format:

d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3)
s = d.xmlschema   # => "2001-02-03"
Date.xmlschema(s) # => #<Date: 2001-02-03>

See:

• Argument start.

• Argument limit.

Related: Date._xmlschema (returns a hash).

Returns true if the date is on or after the date of calendar reform, false otherwise:

Date.new(1582, 10, 15).gregorian?       # => true
(Date.new(1582, 10, 15) - 1).gregorian? # => false

Equivalent to Date#new_start with argument Date::GREGORIAN.
