Project/Component Working Name: Including Ruby 1.8 with Solaris 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Prashant Srinivasan 1.3 Date of This Document: 16 October, 2007 4. Technical Description Including Ruby 1.8 with Solaris Prashant Srinivasan 15 October 2007 1. Summary and motivation This project delivers Ruby into Solaris. Ruby, the scripting language[1], and Rails, the associated web application framework[2], are fast gaining popularity, and Ruby's inclusion into Solaris will enable it to be a more attractive platform for Ruby/Rails developers and deployments. Certain extensions[section 3] to the Ruby language, and a packaging program, Rubygems[5] are also included based on the necessity for an end user to install such programs to have a functional Ruby installation and to be able to add functionality in a seamless manner. This case seeks Micro Release Binding. 2. Technical issues 2.1. Key objects. /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/erb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/irb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/rdoc /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ri /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/testrb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem_mirror /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem_server /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemlock /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemri /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemwhich /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/index_gem_repository.rb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/update_rubygems All other objects will be contained within the /usr/ruby/[.] and the /var/ruby/./gems hierarchy. The proposed directory layouts for Ruby are: /usr/ruby/[.]/ bin include lib man share src /var/ruby/./gem_home /usr/ruby/[.]/bin/ will be linked symbolically from /usr/bin/. and from /usr/bin/. The latter link will always point to the highest . of Ruby installed on the system. The former will be a set of links to different Ruby major versions installed on the system. This is a direct outcome of the versioning policy described in 2.2. This will also encourage the usage of the style "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" or "#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.8" depending on whether the programmer is interested in locking in to a specific ., or is open to having her/his program interpreted by the most recent Ruby installation. The detailed directory and file layout for Ruby is provided in Appendix 2. 2.2. Versioning The Ruby development processes follow the ubiquitous "continuous development" model, typical of many Open Source projects. Currently, versions 1.8.6 patch 110 is the latest stable release. Ruby 1.9 is under development, slated for release in December 2007. Ruby 1.9 is the subversion trunk, with Ruby 1.8 forming a branch(ruby_1_8). Ruby 1.8.6 and Ruby 1.8.5 are in maintenance mode, with 1.8.7 in development. It is expected that Ruby 1.8.5 will no longer be maintained after Ruby 1.8.7 is released. The versioning model for Ruby is ... This project covers the integration of Ruby 1.8 into Solaris. The compatibility expectations for Ruby are as follows: A development release is an unstable release that can have significant feature changes from the previous release, and can potentially break compatibility. A production release is, as the name suggests, a stable release, such that compatibility is largely maintained across minor versions. The absence of a point release(or the "TEENY" version field), or a point release of "0" serves as a development version. For example, 1.9(==1.9.0) is a development release, and development updates to the corresponding Subversion branch are not numbered. Once 1.9 is deemed production ready, it will be released as 1.9.l, which will be a production release. Version x.y.z is a development release iff z == 0, or z is undefined; The oddness/evenness of y not withstanding. The corollary is that version x.y.z is a production release iff z > 0. Version x.y.z is compatible for different values of z, such that z > 0. The corollary being that x.y.z is not compatible for x.p.z if y != p. And it is compatible only if y == p. Compatibility expectations for Rubygems are as follows: Rubygems intends to maintain compatibility across releases, with two exceptions: (1) It depends on Ruby, hence the Ruby compatibility expectations apply. (2) Interfaces (which, in this context refers to both APIs provided for Ruby programmers, and command line arguments; [8] and [9] provide examples) can be deprecated. In Rubygems deprecation means that use of the deprecated interface results in a runtime warning. Deprecated interfaces will be available for at least 6 months (that is, at least 2 minor releases) after being marked as such. Repository structure changes are not foreseen or planned. But in the unlikely eventuality that they occur, the Rubygems community intends to develop migration tools to help end users move to newer versions of Rubygems. The notion of a development release does not exist in Rubygems; experimental features are released in beta versions, and they are removed if not found useful. The beta tag is removed after the feature gains maturity, and a release is made. Hence any version x.y.z is suitable for inclusion with Solaris as long as it is not labelled "beta". Rubygems will be a part of the Ruby distribution. Ruby 1.9 onward will provide stable releases of Rubygems. 2.3. Packaging and Delivery The current proposal allows for the inclusion and coexistence of multiple versions of Ruby by keeping each installation under a version-specific subdirectory. The package SUNWruby18u, and SUNWruby18r, will contain the Ruby and Rubygems interfaces. Rubygems[5] provides the gems package management interfaces to install or upgrade Ruby libraries over the internet, by connecting to a gem repository(using a process similar to Perl's CPAN architecture[6]), this will allow end users to easily install Rails, or other Ruby libraries. Individual Ruby libraries which are distributed as Gems will not be packaged with Solaris, and is outside the scope of this ARC case. The Gem packaging system provides programmatic features to Ruby programs(such as the ability to specify library dependencies in Ruby code), and the growing trend among Ruby developers is to package libraries as Gems. Migrating Ruby Gems into their component Ruby libraries for Solaris packaging is not preferred, since Gem support is popular with the Ruby community(and is only expected to grow with the acceptance of Rubygems into the Ruby distribution). Packaging Ruby libraries which are distributed as Gems with Solaris, while maintaining the advantages of Gem packaging for Ruby users deserves more research. However the packaging of the Rubygems program will allow easy installation of Ruby libraries. The /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home directory is the home for Ruby libraries (gems) installed using Rubygems. This is also the home to a subset of the Rubygems functionality and documentation. This, as well as other libraries which an user may install, by using the Rubygems program, are open to modification on a per zone basis, and hence are located in the /var hierarchy. Upgrades to the Ruby platform, when available will require upgrading the SUNWruby[version] usr and root packages. It is expected that users will have different major versions of the package installed, since releases are not guaranteed to be compatible across them. Newer minor versions of the Ruby interfaces will upgrade the existing interfaces, since these will be compatible. 3. Ruby Extensions and Gems. Ruby supports a loadable module interface(known in Ruby parlance as "Extensions"), allowing the Ruby runtime to communicate with, and bind to, external interfaces. Extensions are implemented using a C interface. Extensions have an associated dynamically loadable shared object(*.so), and quite often two, since the extension itself usually loads another shared object. Gems[5] are Ruby libraries that are installed using the "gem" interface such that they are located in the default search path of the Ruby runtime. Some Ruby gems also include native extensions(Mongrel[7] is an example). 3.1. Included Ruby Extensions. The initial integration will provide the following, a select subset of the extant Ruby extensions. readline [command line support for Ruby and Rails] openssl [HTTPS support] readline [command line input processing for Ruby and Rails] tk [to support the TK toolkit] curses [terminal control library] openssl [HTTPS support] Additional extensions can be delivered subsequent to the initial integration, depending on user community and customer requests. 4. Ruby Internationalization. Ruby offers the ability to use different character sets based on the value of a global variable, $KCODE. It does not have built in features for message localization. 5. Ruby Documentation. Ruby is well documented[3]. The API documentation and a man page, a subset of the comprehensive documentation available on the internet, are available with the Ruby installation by invoking "ri". 5.1. Manual Pages. Ruby provides a man page, which will be delivered in the man directory [/usr/ruby/[./man]. The contents of this man page, modified appropriately for Solaris, is provided in Appendix 1. A symbolic link will be created from the standard Solaris man page location(/usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1) to /usr/ruby/[.]/man1/ruby.1. 6. Interfaces 6.1. Imported Interfaces.

It has many features to pro- cess text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. If you want a language for easy object-oriented programming, or you don't like the Perl ugliness, or you do like the con- cept of LISP, but don't like too much parentheses, Ruby may be the language of your choice. FILES Ruby 1.8 is integrated with Solaris. The following files specify the installation locations for Ruby: /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home Contains the Rubygems repository. Configure the GEM_HOME environment variable to point to /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home to use the this installation of Rubygems. /usr/ruby/1.8/bin Contains the Ruby executable as well as other utility programs, and Rubygems programs. These programs are linked from /usr/bin. For example: /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby is linked from /usr/bin/ruby1.8, and may be linked from /usr/bin/ruby if 1.8 is the latest version of Ruby installed on this system. FEATURES Ruby's features are as follows: Interpretive Ruby is an interpreted language, so you don't have to recompile programs written in Ruby to execute them. Variables have no type (dynamic typing) Variables in Ruby can contain data of any type. You don't have to worry about variable typing. Conse- quently, it has a weaker compile time check. No declaration needed You can use variables in your Ruby programs without any declarations. Variable names denote their scope, local, global, instance, etc. Simple syntax Ruby has a simple syntax influenced slightly from Eif- fel. No user-level memory management Ruby has automatic memory management. Objects no longer referenced from anywhere are automatically col- lected by the garbage collector built into the inter- preter. December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 1 UNIX RUBY(1) Everything is an object Ruby is the purely object-oriented language, and was so since its creation. Even such basic data as integers are seen as objects. Class, inheritance, and methods Of course, as an object-oriented language, Ruby has such basic features like classes, inheritance, and methods. Singleton methods Ruby has the ability to define methods for certain objects. For example, you can define a press-button action for certain widget by defining a singleton method for the button. Or, you can make up your own prototype based object system using singleton methods, if you want to. Mix-in by modules Ruby intentionally does not have the multiple inheri- tance as it is a source of confusion. Instead, Ruby has the ability to share implementations across the inheritance tree. This is often called `Mix-in'. Iterators Ruby has iterators for loop abstraction. Closures In Ruby, you can objectify the procedure. Text processing and regular expression Ruby has a bunch of text processing features like in Perl. Bignums With built-in bignums, you can for example calculate factorial(400). Exception handling As in Java(tm). Direct access to the OS Ruby can use most UNIX system calls, often used in December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 2 UNIX RUBY(1) system programming. Dynamic loading On most UNIX systems, you can load object files into the Ruby interpreter on-the-fly. OPTIONS Ruby interpreter accepts following command-line options (switches). They are quite similar to those of perl(1). --copyright Prints the copyright notice. --version Prints the version of Ruby interpreter. -0[octal] (The digit ``zero''.) Specifies the input record separator ("$/") as an octal number. If no digit is given, the null character is taken as the separator. Other switches may follow the digits. -00 turns Ruby into paragraph mode. -0777 makes Ruby read whole file at once as a single string since there is no legal character with that value. -C directory Causes Ruby to switch to the directory. -F pattern Specifies input field separator ("$;"). -I directory Used to tell Ruby where to load the library scripts. Directory path will be added to the load-path variable ("$:"). -K kcode Specifies KANJI (Japanese) encoding. -S Makes Ruby use the PATH environment variable to search for script, unless if its name begins with a slash. This is used to emulate #! on machines that don't December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 3 UNIX RUBY(1) support it, in the following manner: #! /usr/bin/ruby # This line makes the next one a comment in Ruby \ exec /usr/bin/ruby -S $0 $* -T[level] Turns on taint checks at the specified level (default 1). -a Turns on auto-split mode when used with -n or -p. In auto-split mode, Ruby executes $F = $_.split at beginning of each loop. -c Causes Ruby to check the syntax of the script and exit without executing. If there are no syntax errors, Ruby will print ``Syntax OK'' to the standard output. -d --debug Turns on debug mode. "$DEBUG" will be set to true. -e command Specifies script from command-line while telling Ruby not to search the rest of arguments for a script file name. -h --help Prints a summary of the options. -i extension Specifies in-place-edit mode. The extension, if speci- fied, is added to old file name to make a backup copy. For example: % echo matz > /tmp/junk % cat /tmp/junk matz % ruby -p -i.bak -e '$_.upcase!' /tmp/junk % cat /tmp/junk MATZ December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 4 UNIX RUBY(1) % cat /tmp/junk.bak matz -l (The lowercase letter ``ell''.) Enables automatic line-ending processing, which means to firstly set "$\" to the value of "$/", and secondly chops every line read using chop!. -n Causes Ruby to assume the following loop around your script, which makes it iterate over file name arguments somewhat like sed -n or awk. while gets ... end -p Acts mostly same as -n switch, but print the value of variable "$_" at the each end of the loop. For exam- ple: % echo matz | ruby -p -e '$_.tr! "a-z", "A-Z"' MATZ -r library Causes Ruby to load the library using require. It is useful when using -n or -p. -s Enables some switch parsing for switches after script name but before any file name arguments (or before a --). Any switches found there are removed from ARGV and set the corresponding variable in the script. For example: #! /usr/bin/ruby -s # prints "true" if invoked with `-xyz' switch. print "true\n" if $xyz On some systems "$0" does not always contain the full pathname, so you need the -S switch to tell Ruby to search for the script if necessary. To handle embedded spaces or such. A better construct than "$*" would be ${1+"$@"}, but it does not work if the script is being interpreted by csh(1). -v December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 5 UNIX RUBY(1) --verbose Enables verbose mode. Ruby will print its version at the beginning, and set the variable "$VERBOSE" to true. Some methods print extra messages if this variable is true. If this switch is given, and no other switches are present, Ruby quits after printing its version. -w Enables verbose mode without printing version message at the beginning. It sets the "$VERBOSE" variable to true. -x[directory] Tells Ruby that the script is embedded in a message. Leading garbage will be discarded until the first that starts with ``#!'' and contains the string, ``ruby''. Any meaningful switches on that line will applied. The end of script must be specified with either EOF, "^D" ("control-D"), "^Z" ("control-Z"), or reserved word __END__. If the directory name is specified, Ruby will switch to that directory before executing script. -y --yydebug Turns on compiler debug mode. Ruby will print a bunch of internal state messages during compiling scripts. You don't have to specify this switch, unless you are going to debug the Ruby interpreter. ENVIRONMENT RUBYLIB A colon-separated list of directories that are added to Ruby's library load path ("$:"). Directories from this environment variable are searched before the standard load path is searched. e.g.: RUBYLIB="$HOME/lib/ruby:$HOME/lib/rubyext" RUBYOPT Additional Ruby options. e.g. RUBYOPT="-w -Ke" RUBYPATH December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 6 UNIX RUBY(1) A colon-separated list of directories that Ruby searches for Ruby programs when the -S flag is speci- fied. This variable precedes the PATH environment variable. RUBYSHELL The path to the system shell command. This environment variable is enabled for only mswin32, mingw32, and OS/2 platforms. If this variable is not defined, Ruby refers to COMSPEC. PATH Ruby refers to the PATH environment variable on calling Kernel#system. RUBYLIB_PREFIX This variable is obsolete.

The Ruby development model is tailored to the individual downloading of gems, as they are needed. On a multi-user system, this type of updating in a common directory might be a problem. 2. A bundled in Postgres extension would be be ideal, providing the worthwhile linkage to the bundled Postgres database on Solaris. 3.

Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Including Ruby 1.8 with Solaris 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Prashant Srinivasan 1.3 Date of This Document: 16 October, 2007 4. Technical Description Including Ruby 1.8 with Solaris Prashant Srinivasan 15 October 2007 1. Summary and motivation This project delivers Ruby into Solaris. Ruby, the scripting language[1], and Rails, the associated web application framework[2], are fast gaining popularity, and Ruby's inclusion into Solaris will enable it to be a more attractive platform for Ruby/Rails developers and deployments. Certain extensions[section 3] to the Ruby language, and a packaging program, Rubygems[5] are also included based on the necessity for an end user to install such programs to have a functional Ruby installation and to be able to add functionality in a seamless manner. This case seeks Micro Release Binding. 2. Technical issues 2.1. Key objects. /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/erb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/irb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/rdoc /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ri /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/testrb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem_mirror /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gem_server /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemlock /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemri /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/gemwhich /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/index_gem_repository.rb /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/update_rubygems All other objects will be contained within the /usr/ruby/[.] and the /var/ruby/./gems hierarchy. The proposed directory layouts for Ruby are: /usr/ruby/[.]/ bin include lib man share src /var/ruby/./gem_home /usr/ruby/[.]/bin/ will be linked symbolically from /usr/bin/. and from /usr/bin/. The latter link will always point to the highest . of Ruby installed on the system. The former will be a set of links to different Ruby major versions installed on the system. This is a direct outcome of the versioning policy described in 2.2. This will also encourage the usage of the style "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" or "#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.8" depending on whether the programmer is interested in locking in to a specific ., or is open to having her/his program interpreted by the most recent Ruby installation. The detailed directory and file layout for Ruby is provided in Appendix 2. 2.2. Versioning The Ruby development processes follow the ubiquitous "continuous development" model, typical of many Open Source projects. Currently, versions 1.8.6 patch 110 is the latest stable release. Ruby 1.9 is under development, slated for release in December 2007. Ruby 1.9 is the subversion trunk, with Ruby 1.8 forming a branch(ruby_1_8). Ruby 1.8.6 and Ruby 1.8.5 are in maintenance mode, with 1.8.7 in development. It is expected that Ruby 1.8.5 will no longer be maintained after Ruby 1.8.7 is released. The versioning model for Ruby is ... This project covers the integration of Ruby 1.8 into Solaris. The compatibility expectations for Ruby are as follows: A development release is an unstable release that can have significant feature changes from the previous release, and can potentially break compatibility. A production release is, as the name suggests, a stable release, such that compatibility is largely maintained across minor versions. The absence of a point release(or the "TEENY" version field), or a point release of "0" serves as a development version. For example, 1.9(==1.9.0) is a development release, and development updates to the corresponding Subversion branch are not numbered. Once 1.9 is deemed production ready, it will be released as 1.9.l, which will be a production release. Version x.y.z is a development release iff z == 0, or z is undefined; The oddness/evenness of y not withstanding. The corollary is that version x.y.z is a production release iff z > 0. Version x.y.z is compatible for different values of z, such that z > 0. The corollary being that x.y.z is not compatible for x.p.z if y != p. And it is compatible only if y == p. Compatibility expectations for Rubygems are as follows: Rubygems intends to maintain compatibility across releases, with two exceptions: (1) It depends on Ruby, hence the Ruby compatibility expectations apply. (2) Interfaces (which, in this context refers to both APIs provided for Ruby programmers, and command line arguments; [8] and [9] provide examples) can be deprecated. In Rubygems deprecation means that use of the deprecated interface results in a runtime warning. Deprecated interfaces will be available for at least 6 months (that is, at least 2 minor releases) after being marked as such. Repository structure changes are not foreseen or planned. But in the unlikely eventuality that they occur, the Rubygems community intends to develop migration tools to help end users move to newer versions of Rubygems. The notion of a development release does not exist in Rubygems; experimental features are released in beta versions, and they are removed if not found useful. The beta tag is removed after the feature gains maturity, and a release is made. Hence any version x.y.z is suitable for inclusion with Solaris as long as it is not labelled "beta". Rubygems will be a part of the Ruby distribution. Ruby 1.9 onward will provide stable releases of Rubygems. 2.3. Packaging and Delivery The current proposal allows for the inclusion and coexistence of multiple versions of Ruby by keeping each installation under a version-specific subdirectory. The package SUNWruby18u, and SUNWruby18r, will contain the Ruby and Rubygems interfaces. Rubygems[5] provides the gems package management interfaces to install or upgrade Ruby libraries over the internet, by connecting to a gem repository(using a process similar to Perl's CPAN architecture[6]), this will allow end users to easily install Rails, or other Ruby libraries. Individual Ruby libraries which are distributed as Gems will not be packaged with Solaris, and is outside the scope of this ARC case. The Gem packaging system provides programmatic features to Ruby programs(such as the ability to specify library dependencies in Ruby code), and the growing trend among Ruby developers is to package libraries as Gems. Migrating Ruby Gems into their component Ruby libraries for Solaris packaging is not preferred, since Gem support is popular with the Ruby community(and is only expected to grow with the acceptance of Rubygems into the Ruby distribution). Packaging Ruby libraries which are distributed as Gems with Solaris, while maintaining the advantages of Gem packaging for Ruby users deserves more research. However the packaging of the Rubygems program will allow easy installation of Ruby libraries. The /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home directory is the home for Ruby libraries (gems) installed using Rubygems. This is also the home to a subset of the Rubygems functionality and documentation. This, as well as other libraries which an user may install, by using the Rubygems program, are open to modification on a per zone basis, and hence are located in the /var hierarchy. Upgrades to the Ruby platform, when available will require upgrading the SUNWruby[version] usr and root packages. It is expected that users will have different major versions of the package installed, since releases are not guaranteed to be compatible across them. Newer minor versions of the Ruby interfaces will upgrade the existing interfaces, since these will be compatible. 3. Ruby Extensions and Gems. Ruby supports a loadable module interface(known in Ruby parlance as "Extensions"), allowing the Ruby runtime to communicate with, and bind to, external interfaces. Extensions are implemented using a C interface. Extensions have an associated dynamically loadable shared object(*.so), and quite often two, since the extension itself usually loads another shared object. Gems[5] are Ruby libraries that are installed using the "gem" interface such that they are located in the default search path of the Ruby runtime. Some Ruby gems also include native extensions(Mongrel[7] is an example). 3.1. Included Ruby Extensions. The initial integration will provide the following, a select subset of the extant Ruby extensions. readline [command line support for Ruby and Rails] openssl [HTTPS support] readline [command line input processing for Ruby and Rails] tk [to support the TK toolkit] curses [terminal control library] openssl [HTTPS support] Additional extensions can be delivered subsequent to the initial integration, depending on user community and customer requests. 4. Ruby Internationalization. Ruby offers the ability to use different character sets based on the value of a global variable, $KCODE. It does not have built in features for message localization. 5. Ruby Documentation. Ruby is well documented[3]. The API documentation and a man page, a subset of the comprehensive documentation available on the internet, are available with the Ruby installation by invoking "ri". 5.1. Manual Pages. Ruby provides a man page, which will be delivered in the man directory [/usr/ruby/[./man]. The contents of this man page, modified appropriately for Solaris, is provided in Appendix 1. A symbolic link will be created from the standard Solaris man page location(/usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1) to /usr/ruby/[.]/man1/ruby.1. 6. Interfaces 6.1. Imported Interfaces.

It has many features to pro- cess text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. FILES Ruby 1.8 is integrated with Solaris. The following files specify the installation locations for Ruby: /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home Contains the Rubygems repository. Configure the GEM_HOME environment variable to point to /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home to use the this installation of Rubygems. /usr/ruby/1.8/bin Contains the Ruby executable as well as other utility programs, and Rubygems programs. These programs are linked from /usr/bin. For example: /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby is linked from /usr/bin/ruby1.8, and may be linked from /usr/bin/ruby if 1.8 is the latest version of Ruby installed on this system. FEATURES Ruby's features are as follows: Interpretive Ruby is an interpreted language, so you don't have to recompile programs written in Ruby to execute them. Variables have no type (dynamic typing) Variables in Ruby can contain data of any type. You don't have to worry about variable typing. Conse- quently, it has a weaker compile time check. No declaration needed You can use variables in your Ruby programs without any declarations. Variable names denote their scope, local, global, instance, etc. Simple syntax Ruby has a simple syntax influenced slightly from Eif- fel. No user-level memory management Ruby has automatic memory management. Objects no longer referenced from anywhere are automatically col- lected by the garbage collector built into the inter- preter. December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 1 UNIX RUBY(1) Everything is an object Ruby is the purely object-oriented language, and was so since its creation. Even such basic data as integers are seen as objects. Class, inheritance, and methods Of course, as an object-oriented language, Ruby has such basic features like classes, inheritance, and methods. Singleton methods Ruby has the ability to define methods for certain objects. For example, you can define a press-button action for certain widget by defining a singleton method for the button. Or, you can make up your own prototype based object system using singleton methods, if you want to. Mix-in by modules Ruby intentionally does not have the multiple inheri- tance as it is a source of confusion. Instead, Ruby has the ability to share implementations across the inheritance tree. This is often called `Mix-in'. Iterators Ruby has iterators for loop abstraction. Closures In Ruby, you can objectify the procedure. Text processing and regular expression Ruby has a bunch of text processing features like in Perl. Bignums With built-in bignums, you can for example calculate factorial(400). Exception handling As in Java(tm). Direct access to the OS Ruby can use most UNIX system calls, often used in December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 2 UNIX RUBY(1) system programming. Dynamic loading On most UNIX systems, you can load object files into the Ruby interpreter on-the-fly. OPTIONS Ruby interpreter accepts following command-line options (switches). They are quite similar to those of perl(1). --copyright Prints the copyright notice. --version Prints the version of Ruby interpreter. -0[octal] (The digit ``zero''.) Specifies the input record separator ("$/") as an octal number. If no digit is given, the null character is taken as the separator. Other switches may follow the digits. -00 turns Ruby into paragraph mode. -0777 makes Ruby read whole file at once as a single string since there is no legal character with that value. -C directory Causes Ruby to switch to the directory. -F pattern Specifies input field separator ("$;"). -I directory Used to tell Ruby where to load the library scripts. Directory path will be added to the load-path variable ("$:"). -K kcode Specifies KANJI (Japanese) encoding. -S Makes Ruby use the PATH environment variable to search for script, unless if its name begins with a slash. This is used to emulate #! on machines that don't December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 3 UNIX RUBY(1) support it, in the following manner: #! /usr/bin/ruby # This line makes the next one a comment in Ruby \ exec /usr/bin/ruby -S $0 $* -T[level] Turns on taint checks at the specified level (default 1). -a Turns on auto-split mode when used with -n or -p. In auto-split mode, Ruby executes $F = $_.split at beginning of each loop. -c Causes Ruby to check the syntax of the script and exit without executing. If there are no syntax errors, Ruby will print ``Syntax OK'' to the standard output. -d --debug Turns on debug mode. "$DEBUG" will be set to true. -e command Specifies script from command-line while telling Ruby not to search the rest of arguments for a script file name. -h --help Prints a summary of the options. -i extension Specifies in-place-edit mode. The extension, if speci- fied, is added to old file name to make a backup copy. For example: % echo matz > /tmp/junk % cat /tmp/junk matz % ruby -p -i.bak -e '$_.upcase!' /tmp/junk % cat /tmp/junk MATZ December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 4 UNIX RUBY(1) % cat /tmp/junk.bak matz -l (The lowercase letter ``ell''.) Enables automatic line-ending processing, which means to firstly set "$\" to the value of "$/", and secondly chops every line read using chop!. -n Causes Ruby to assume the following loop around your script, which makes it iterate over file name arguments somewhat like sed -n or awk. while gets ... end -p Acts mostly same as -n switch, but print the value of variable "$_" at the each end of the loop. For exam- ple: % echo matz | ruby -p -e '$_.tr! "a-z", "A-Z"' MATZ -r library Causes Ruby to load the library using require. It is useful when using -n or -p. -s Enables some switch parsing for switches after script name but before any file name arguments (or before a --). Any switches found there are removed from ARGV and set the corresponding variable in the script. For example: #! /usr/bin/ruby -s # prints "true" if invoked with `-xyz' switch. print "true\n" if $xyz On some systems "$0" does not always contain the full pathname, so you need the -S switch to tell Ruby to search for the script if necessary. To handle embedded spaces or such. A better construct than "$*" would be ${1+"$@"}, but it does not work if the script is being interpreted by csh(1). -v December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 5 UNIX RUBY(1) --verbose Enables verbose mode. Ruby will print its version at the beginning, and set the variable "$VERBOSE" to true. Some methods print extra messages if this variable is true. If this switch is given, and no other switches are present, Ruby quits after printing its version. -w Enables verbose mode without printing version message at the beginning. It sets the "$VERBOSE" variable to true. -x[directory] Tells Ruby that the script is embedded in a message. Leading garbage will be discarded until the first that starts with ``#!'' and contains the string, ``ruby''. Any meaningful switches on that line will applied. The end of script must be specified with either EOF, "^D" ("control-D"), "^Z" ("control-Z"), or reserved word __END__. If the directory name is specified, Ruby will switch to that directory before executing script. -y --yydebug Turns on compiler debug mode. Ruby will print a bunch of internal state messages during compiling scripts. You don't have to specify this switch, unless you are going to debug the Ruby interpreter. ENVIRONMENT RUBYLIB A colon-separated list of directories that are added to Ruby's library load path ("$:"). Directories from this environment variable are searched before the standard load path is searched. e.g.: RUBYLIB="$HOME/lib/ruby:$HOME/lib/rubyext" RUBYOPT Additional Ruby options. e.g. RUBYOPT="-w -Ke" RUBYPATH December 3Last0change: Ruby Programmers Reference Guide 6 UNIX RUBY(1) A colon-separated list of directories that Ruby searches for Ruby programs when the -S flag is speci- fied. This variable precedes the PATH environment variable. RUBYSHELL The path to the system shell command. This environment variable is enabled for only mswin32, mingw32, and OS/2 platforms. If this variable is not defined, Ruby refers to COMSPEC. PATH Ruby refers to the PATH environment variable on calling Kernel#system. RUBYLIB_PREFIX This variable is obsolete.

The boilerplate SFW "Source for ____ is available on http://opensolaris.org" is in part my fault--because I am not certain that we understand how the consolidations and other source delivering functions will migrate around the domain, over the lifetime of the distributions that might include the manual pages in question. Assuming the existence of a src.opensolaris.org seems pretty safe. (What it might do could change, of course.) - Stephen -- sch@sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ From jyri@buye.red.iplanet.com Thu Oct 25 10:41:14 2007 Received: from sunmail3mpk.sfbay.sun.com (sunmail3mpk [129.146.11.52]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l9PHfEOM021580 for ; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:41:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (nwk-avmta-2.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.6]) by sunmail3mpk.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id l9PHbhrf009367; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JQH00901AAVDS00@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:43 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buye.red.iplanet.com ([192.18.65.224]) by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JQH001XAAAUNCE0@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from buye.red.iplanet.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by buye.red.iplanet.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7) with ESMTP id l9PHbgoH021853; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jyri@localhost) by buye.red.iplanet.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/Submit) id l9PHbgOG021852; Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:42 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:37:42 -0700 From: Jyri Virkki Subject: Re: Including Ruby 1.8 with Solaris [PSARC/2007/600 FastTrack timeout 10/24/2007] In-reply-to: <200710161819.l9GIJOdL011146@sac.sfbay.sun.com> To: psarc-ext@sun.com Cc: Chris.Zhu@sun.com, Cynthia.Hardenbrook@sun.com, Hugo.Rivero@sun.com, Jie.Shen@sun.com, Prashant.Srinivasan@sun.com Message-id: <20071025173742.GA21848@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline X-PMX-Version: 5.2.0.264296 References: <200710161819.l9GIJOdL011146@sac.sfbay.sun.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.11 Status: RO Content-Length: 239 This case has timed out and is now closed approved.
