def self.correct_for_windows_path(path)
  if path[0].chr == "/" && path[1].chr.match?(/[a-z]/i) && path[2].chr == ":"
    path[1..-1]
  else
    path
  end
end

glob_files_in_dir(glob, base_path)

Globs for files matching pattern inside of directory, returning absolute paths to the matching files.

def self.glob_files_in_dir(glob, base_path)
  Dir.glob(glob, base: base_path).map! {|f| File.expand_path(f, base_path) }
end

gunzip(data)

Zlib::GzipReader wrapper that unzips data.

# File ruby/lib/rubygems/util.rb, line 12
def self.gunzip(data)
  require "zlib"
  require "stringio"
  data = StringIO.new(data, "r")

  gzip_reader = begin
                  Zlib::GzipReader.new(data)
                rescue Zlib::GzipFile::Error => e
                  raise e.class, e.inspect, e.backtrace
                end

  unzipped = gzip_reader.read
  unzipped.force_encoding Encoding::BINARY
  unzipped
end

gzip(data)

Zlib::GzipWriter wrapper that zips data.

# File ruby/lib/rubygems/util.rb, line 31
def self.gzip(data)
  require "zlib"
  require "stringio"
  zipped = StringIO.new(String.new, "w")
  zipped.set_encoding Encoding::BINARY

  Zlib::GzipWriter.wrap zipped do |io|
    io.write data
  end

  zipped.string
end

inflate(data)

Source: show | on GitHub 

# File ruby/lib/rubygems/util.rb, line 62
def self.silent_system(*command)
  opt = { out: IO::NULL, err: [:child, :out] }
  if Hash === command.last
    opt.update(command.last)
    cmds = command[0...-1]
  else
    cmds = command.dup
  end
  system(*(cmds << opt))
end

    rescue StandardError
      Errno::EACCES
    end

    new_here = File.expand_path("..", here)
    return if new_here == here # toplevel
    here = new_here
