Code Editor : string.rbs

# A String object holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes,
# typically representing characters. String objects may be created using
# String::new or as literals.
#
# Because of aliasing issues, users of strings should be aware of the methods
# that modify the contents of a String object.  Typically, methods with names
# ending in ``!'' modify their receiver, while those without a ``!'' return a
# new String.  However, there are exceptions, such as String#[]=.
#
class String
  include Comparable

# Try to convert *obj* into a String, using to_str method. Returns converted
  # string or nil if *obj* cannot be converted for any reason.

public

# Format---Uses *str* as a format specification, and returns the result of
  # applying it to *arg*. If the format specification contains more than one
  # substitution, then *arg* must be an Array or Hash containing the values to be
  # substituted. See Kernel#sprintf for details of the format string.
  #
  #     "%05d" % 123                              #=> "00123"

  #
  # See also String#concat, which takes multiple arguments.
  #
  def <<: (string | Integer str_or_codepoint) -> String

# Comparison---Returns -1, 0, +1, or `nil` depending on whether `string` is less
  # than, equal to, or greater than `other_string`.
  #
  # `nil` is returned if the two values are incomparable.
  #
  # If the strings are of different lengths, and the strings are equal when
  # compared up to the shortest length, then the longer string is considered
  # greater than the shorter one.

  # `<=>` is the basis for the methods `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, and `between?`,

  #
  def <=>: (untyped other) -> Integer?

# Equality---Returns whether `str` == `obj`, similar to Object#==.
  #
  # If `obj` is not an instance of String but responds to `to_str`, then the two
  # strings are compared using `obj.==`.
  #
  # Otherwise, returns similarly to String#eql?, comparing length and content.
  #
  def ==: (untyped obj) -> bool

# Match---If *obj* is a Regexp, uses it as a pattern to match against the
  # receiver, and returns the position the match starts, or `nil` if there is no
  # match. Otherwise, invokes *obj.=~*, passing the string as an argument. The
  # default Object#=~ (deprecated) returns `nil`.
  #
  #     "cat o' 9 tails" =~ /\d/   #=> 7
  #     "cat o' 9 tails" =~ 9      #=> nil
  #

  # captured from named capture groups are assigned to local variables only in the
  # second case.

  #
  def =~: (untyped obj) -> Integer?

# Element Reference --- If passed a single `index`, returns a substring of one
  # character at that index. If passed a `start` index and a `length`, returns a
  # substring containing `length` characters starting at the `start` index. If
  # passed a `range`, its beginning and end are interpreted as offsets delimiting
  # the substring to be returned.
  #
  # In these three cases, if an index is negative, it is counted from the end of
  # the string.  For the `start` and `range` cases the starting index is just
  # before a character and an index matching the string's size. Additionally, an
  # empty string is returned when the starting index for a character range is at
  # the end of the string.
  #
  # Returns `nil` if the initial index falls outside the string or the length is
  # negative.
  #
  # If a `Regexp` is supplied, the matching portion of the string is returned.  If
  # a `capture` follows the regular expression, which may be a capture group index
  # or name, follows the regular expression that component of the MatchData is
  # returned instead.
  #
  # If a `match_str` is given, that string is returned if it occurs in the string.
  #
  # Returns `nil` if the regular expression does not match or the match string
  # cannot be found.
  #
  #     a = "hello there"

  # with `str` and `salt_str`, in this order, as its arguments.  Please do not use
  # this method any longer.  It is legacy; provided only for backward
  # compatibility with ruby scripts in earlier days.  It is bad to use in
  # contemporary programs for several reasons:
  #
  # *   Behaviour of C's `crypt(3)` depends on the OS it is run.  The generated
  #     string lacks data portability.
  #
  # *   On some OSes such as Mac OS, `crypt(3)` never fails (i.e. silently ends up
  #     in unexpected results).
  #
  # *   On some OSes such as Mac OS, `crypt(3)` is not thread safe.
  #
  # *   So-called "traditional" usage of `crypt(3)` is very very very weak.
  #     According to its manpage, Linux's traditional `crypt(3)` output has only
  #     2**56 variations; too easy to brute force today.  And this is the default
  #     behaviour.
  #
  # *   In order to make things robust some OSes implement so-called "modular"
  #     usage. To go through, you have to do a complex build-up of the `salt_str`
  #     parameter, by hand. Failure in generation of a proper salt string tends
  #     not to yield any errors; typos in parameters are normally not detectable.
  #
  #     *   For instance, in the following example, the second invocation of
  #         String#crypt is wrong; it has a typo in "round=" (lacks "s").  However
  #         the call does not fail and something unexpected is generated.
  #
  #             "foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # OK, proper usage
  #             "foo".crypt("$5$round=1000$salt$")  # Typo not detected
  #
  #
  # *   Even in the "modular" mode, some hash functions are considered archaic and
  #     no longer recommended at all; for instance module `$1$` is officially
  #     abandoned by its author: see http://phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol.html
  #     .  For another instance module `$3$` is considered completely broken: see
  #     the manpage of FreeBSD.
  #
  # *   On some OS such as Mac OS, there is no modular mode. Yet, as written
  #     above, `crypt(3)` on Mac OS never fails. This means even if you build up a
  #     proper salt string it generates a traditional DES hash anyways, and there
  #     is no way for you to be aware of.
  #
  #         "foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # => "$5fNPQMxC5j6."
  #
  #
  # If for some reason you cannot migrate to other secure contemporary password
  # hashing algorithms, install the string-crypt gem and `require 'string/crypt'`
  # to continue using it.

  #
  def delete_suffix!: (string suffix) -> String?

# Returns a copy of *str* with all uppercase letters replaced with their
  # lowercase counterparts. Which letters exactly are replaced, and by which other
  # letters, depends on the presence or absence of options, and on the `encoding`
  # of the string.
  #
  # The meaning of the `options` is as follows:
  #
  # No option
  # :   Full Unicode case mapping, suitable for most languages (see :turkic and
  #     :lithuanian options below for exceptions). Context-dependent case mapping
  #     as described in Table 3-14 of the Unicode standard is currently not
  #     supported.
  # :ascii
  # :   Only the ASCII region, i.e. the characters ``A'' to ``Z'' and ``a'' to
  #     ``z'', are affected. This option cannot be combined with any other option.
  # :turkic
  # :   Full Unicode case mapping, adapted for Turkic languages (Turkish,
  #     Azerbaijani, ...). This means that upper case I is mapped to lower case
  #     dotless i, and so on.
  # :lithuanian
  # :   Currently, just full Unicode case mapping. In the future, full Unicode
  #     case mapping adapted for Lithuanian (keeping the dot on the lower case i
  #     even if there is an accent on top).
  # :fold
  # :   Only available on `downcase` and `downcase!`. Unicode case **folding**,
  #     which is more far-reaching than Unicode case mapping. This option
  #     currently cannot be combined with any other option (i.e. there is
  #     currently no variant for turkic languages).
  #
  #
  # Please note that several assumptions that are valid for ASCII-only case
  # conversions do not hold for more general case conversions. For example, the
  # length of the result may not be the same as the length of the input (neither
  # in characters nor in bytes), some roundtrip assumptions (e.g. str.downcase ==
  # str.upcase.downcase) may not apply, and Unicode normalization (i.e.
  # String#unicode_normalize) is not necessarily maintained by case mapping
  # operations.
  #
  # Non-ASCII case mapping/folding is currently supported for UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE,
  # UTF-32BE/LE, and ISO-8859-1~16 Strings/Symbols. This support will be extended
  # to other encodings.

  #     string is "uFFFD" for Unicode encoding forms, and "?" otherwise.
  # :fallback
  # :   Sets the replacement string by the given object for undefined character.
  #     The object should be a Hash, a Proc, a Method, or an object which has []
  #     method. Its key is an undefined character encoded in the source encoding

# Returns a copy of *str* with *all* occurrences of *pattern* substituted for

  # String, any regular expression metacharacters it contains will be interpreted
  # literally, e.g. `\d` will match a backslash followed by 'd', instead of a
  # digit.
  #
  # If `replacement` is a String it will be substituted for the matched text. It
  # may contain back-references to the pattern's capture groups of the form `\d`,
  # where *d* is a group number, or `\k<n>`, where *n* is a group name. Similarly,
  # `\&`, `\'`, `\``, and `+` correspond to special variables, `$&`, `$'`, `$``,
  # and `$+`, respectively. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) `\0` is the same as
  # `\&`. `\\\` is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash. Note that,
  # within `replacement` the special match variables, such as `$&`, will not refer
  # to the current match.
  #
  # If the second argument is a Hash, and the matched text is one of its keys, the
  # corresponding value is the replacement string.
  #
  # In the block form, the current match string is passed in as a parameter, and
  # variables such as `$1`, `$2`, `$``, `$&`, and `$'` will be set appropriately.
  # (See regexp.rdoc for details.) The value returned by the block will be
  # substituted for the match on each call.

  #
  # Note that a string literal consumes backslashes. (See syntax/literals.rdoc for
  # details on string literals.) Back-references are typically preceded by an
  # additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference `\&`
  # in `replacement` with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write:
  # `"..\\\\&.."`. If you want to write a non-back-reference string `\&` in
  # `replacement`, you need first to escape the backslash to prevent this method
  # from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the
  # backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them:
  # `"..\\\\\\\\&.."`. You may want to use the block form to avoid a lot of
  # backslashes.

# Returns a copy of `str` with the *first* occurrence of `pattern` replaced by

  # String, any regular expression metacharacters it contains will be interpreted
  # literally, e.g. `\d` will match a backslash followed by 'd', instead of a
  # digit.
  #
  # If `replacement` is a String it will be substituted for the matched text. It
  # may contain back-references to the pattern's capture groups of the form `\d`,
  # where *d* is a group number, or `\k<n>`, where *n* is a group name. Similarly,
  # `\&`, `\'`, `\``, and `+` correspond to special variables, `$&`, `$'`, `$``,
  # and `$+`, respectively. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) `\0` is the same as
  # `\&`. `\\\` is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash. Note that,
  # within `replacement` the special match variables, such as `$&`, will not refer
  # to the current match.
  #
  # If the second argument is a Hash, and the matched text is one of its keys, the
  # corresponding value is the replacement string.
  #
  # In the block form, the current match string is passed in as a parameter, and
  # variables such as `$1`, `$2`, `$``, `$&`, and `$'` will be set appropriately.
  # (See regexp.rdoc for details.) The value returned by the block will be

  #
  # Note that a string literal consumes backslashes. (See syntax/literals.rdoc for
  # details about string literals.) Back-references are typically preceded by an
  # additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference `\&`
  # in `replacement` with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write:
  # `"..\\\\&.."`. If you want to write a non-back-reference string `\&` in
  # `replacement`, you need first to escape the backslash to prevent this method
  # from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the
  # backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them:
  # `"..\\\\\\\\&.."`. You may want to use the block form to avoid a lot of
  # backslashes.

  #
  # Contrast with String#unpack:
  #
  #     "abc \0\0abc \0\0".unpack('A6Z6')   #=> ["abc", "abc "]
  #     "abc \0\0abc \0\0".unpack1('A6Z6')  #=> "abc"
  #
  # In that case data would be lost but often it's the case that the array only
  # holds one value, especially when unpacking binary data. For instance:
  #
  # "xffx00x00x00".unpack("l")         #=>  [255] "xffx00x00x00".unpack1("l")
  #   #=>  255
