Operating System Services

A mixed bag of OS services are provided in the Ruby standard library, including curses, filesystem searching and file handling, command-line argument processing, and others.

If you’re coming from another scripting language background, these classes will have interfaces you’ll find familiar and straightforward access to Unix services. No surprises, here.
