Set the effective group ID, and if possible, the saved group ID of the process to the given group. Returns the new effective group ID. Not available on all platforms.
[Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [0, 0] Process::GID.grant_privilege(31) #=> 33 [Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [0, 33]
Exchange real and effective group IDs and return the new effective group ID. Not available on all platforms.
[Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [0, 33] Process::GID.re_exchange #=> 0 [Process.gid, Process.egid] #=> [33, 0]
Returns true if the real and effective group IDs of a process may be exchanged on the current platform.

Calls the given block with each successive grapheme cluster from self (see Unicode Grapheme Cluster Boundaries); returns self:
s = "\u0061\u0308-pqr-\u0062\u0308-xyz-\u0063\u0308" # => "ä-pqr-b̈-xyz-c̈" s.each_grapheme_cluster {|gc| print gc, ' ' }
Output:
ä - p q r - b̈ - x y z - c̈
Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Returns the value of the given instance variable, or nil if the instance variable is not set. The @ part of the variable name should be included for regular instance variables. Throws a NameError exception if the supplied symbol is not valid as an instance variable name. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_get(:@a) #=> "cat" fred.instance_variable_get("@b") #=> 99
Returns the Ruby source filename and line number containing the definition of the constant specified. If the named constant is not found, nil is returned. If the constant is found, but its source location can not be extracted (constant is defined in C code), empty array is returned.
inherit specifies whether to lookup in mod.ancestors (true by default).
# test.rb: class A # line 1 C1 = 1 C2 = 2 end module M # line 6 C3 = 3 end class B < A # line 10 include M C4 = 4 end class A # continuation of A definition C2 = 8 # constant redefinition; warned yet allowed end p B.const_source_location('C4') # => ["test.rb", 12] p B.const_source_location('C3') # => ["test.rb", 7] p B.const_source_location('C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] p B.const_source_location('C3', false) # => nil -- don't lookup in ancestors p A.const_source_location('C2') # => ["test.rb", 16] -- actual (last) definition place p Object.const_source_location('B') # => ["test.rb", 10] -- top-level constant could be looked through Object p Object.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- class reopening is NOT considered new definition p B.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- because Object is in ancestors p M.const_source_location('A') # => ["test.rb", 1] -- Object is not ancestor, but additionally checked for modules p Object.const_source_location('A::C1') # => ["test.rb", 2] -- nesting is supported p Object.const_source_location('String') # => [] -- constant is defined in C code
Returns the value of the given class variable (or throws a NameError exception). The @@ part of the variable name should be included for regular class variables. String arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred @@foo = 99 end Fred.class_variable_get(:@@foo) #=> 99
Returns true if the stream will be closed on exec, false otherwise:
f = File.open('t.txt') f.close_on_exec? # => true f.close_on_exec = false f.close_on_exec? # => false f.close
Sets a close-on-exec flag.
f = File.open(File::NULL) f.close_on_exec = true system("cat", "/proc/self/fd/#{f.fileno}") # cat: /proc/self/fd/3: No such file or directory f.closed? #=> false
Ruby sets close-on-exec flags of all file descriptors by default since Ruby 2.0.0. So you don’t need to set by yourself. Also, unsetting a close-on-exec flag can cause file descriptor leak if another thread use fork() and exec() (via system() method for example). If you really needs file descriptor inheritance to child process, use spawn()‘s argument such as fd=>fd.

Returns true for IPv6 unique local address (fc00::/7, RFC4193). It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast node-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast link-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast site-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast organization-local scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast global scope address. It returns false otherwise.
Returns reference counter of Dispatch interface of WIN32OLE object. You should not use this method because this method exists only for debugging WIN32OLE.
Returns the array of WIN32OLE_METHOD object . The element of the array is property (gettable) of WIN32OLE object.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') properties = excel.ole_get_methods
