# 
# A String object has an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing
# text or binary data. A String object may be created using String::new or as
# literals.
#
# String objects differ from Symbol objects in that Symbol objects are designed
# to be used as identifiers, instead of text or data.
#
# You can create a String object explicitly with:
#
# *   A [string literal](doc/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-String+Literals).
# *   A [heredoc
#     literal](doc/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Here+Document+Literals).
#
#
# You can convert certain objects to Strings with:
#
# *   Method [String](Kernel.html#method-i-String).
#
#
# Some String methods modify `self`. Typically, a method whose name ends with
# `!` modifies `self` and returns `self`; often a similarly named method
# (without the `!`) returns a new string.
#
# In general, if there exist both bang and non-bang version of method, the bang!
# mutates and the non-bang! does not. However, a method without a bang can also
# mutate, such as String#replace.
#
# ## Substitution Methods
#
# These methods perform substitutions:
#
# *   String#sub: One substitution (or none); returns a new string.
# *   String#sub!: One substitution (or none); returns `self`.
# *   String#gsub: Zero or more substitutions; returns a new string.
# *   String#gsub!: Zero or more substitutions; returns `self`.
#
#
# Each of these methods takes:
#
# *   A first argument, `pattern` (string or regexp), that specifies the
#     substring(s) to be replaced.
#
# *   Either of these:
#
#     *   A second argument, `replacement` (string or hash), that determines the
#         replacing string.
#     *   A block that will determine the replacing string.
#
#
#
# The examples in this section mostly use methods String#sub and String#gsub;
# the principles illustrated apply to all four substitution methods.
#
# **Argument `pattern`**
#
# Argument `pattern` is commonly a regular expression:
#
#     s = 'hello'
#     s.sub(/[aeiou]/, '*')  # => "h*llo"
#     s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*ll*"
#     s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '')  # => "hll"
#     s.sub(/ell/, 'al')     # => "halo"
#     s.gsub(/xyzzy/, '*')   # => "hello"
#     'THX1138'.gsub(/\d+/, '00') # => "THX00"
#
# When `pattern` is a string, all its characters are treated as ordinary
# characters (not as regexp special characters):
#
#     'THX1138'.gsub('\d+', '00') # => "THX1138"
#
# **\String `replacement`**
#
# If `replacement` is a string, that string will determine the replacing string
# that is to be substituted for the matched text.
#
# Each of the examples above uses a simple string as the replacing string.
#
# String `replacement` may contain back-references to the pattern's captures:
#
# *   `\n` (*n* a non-negative integer) refers to `$n`.
# *   `\k<name>` refers to the named capture `name`.
#
#
# See regexp.rdoc for details.
#
# Note that within the string `replacement`, a character combination such as
# `$&` is treated as ordinary text, and not as a special match variable.
# However, you may refer to some special match variables using these
# combinations:
#
# *   `\&` and `\0` correspond to `$&`, which contains the complete matched
#     text.
# *   `\'` corresponds to `$'`, which contains string after match.
# *   `\`` corresponds to `$``, which contains string before match.
# *   `+` corresponds to `$+`, which contains last capture group.
#
#
# See regexp.rdoc for details.
#
# Note that `\\\` is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash.
#
# Note also that a string literal consumes backslashes. See [String
# Literals](doc/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-String+Literals) for details
# about string literals.
#
# A back-reference is 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.
#
# **\Hash `replacement`**
#
# If argument `replacement` is a hash, and `pattern` matches one of its keys,
# the replacing string is the value for that key:
#
#     h = {'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'bat'}
#     'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "bard"
#
# Note that a symbol key does not match:
#
#     h = {foo: 'bar', baz: 'bat'}
#     'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "d"
#
# **Block**
#
# In the block form, the current match string is passed to the block; the
# block's return value becomes the replacing string:
#
#      s = '@'
#     '1234'.gsub(/\d/) {|match| s.succ! } # => "ABCD"
#
# Special match variables such as `$1`, `$2`, `$``, `$&`, and `$'` are set
# appropriately.

  # Returns the string generated by calling `crypt(3)` standard library function
  # 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.

  def unpack: (String format, ?offset: Integer) -> Array[Integer | Float | String | nil]

# 
  # Decodes *str* (which may contain binary data) according to the format string,
  # returning the first value extracted.
  #
  # See also String#unpack, Array#pack.
  #
  # 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:
  #
  #     "\xff\x00\x00\x00".unpack("l")         #=>  [255]
  #     "\xff\x00\x00\x00".unpack1("l")        #=>  255
  #
  # Thus unpack1 is convenient, makes clear the intention and signals the expected
  # return value to those reading the code.
  #
  # The keyword *offset* can be given to start the decoding after skipping the
  # specified amount of bytes:
  #     "abc".unpack1("C*") # => 97
  #     "abc".unpack1("C*", offset: 2) # => 99
  #     "abc".unpack1("C*", offset: 4) # => offset outside of string (ArgumentError)

  # With a block given, calls the block with each String value returned by

  #
  #     'a8'.upto('b6') {|s| print s, ' ' } # => "a8"

  # Output:

  #     a8 a9 b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6

# 
  # Returns a new String that is a copy of `string`.
  #
  # With no arguments, returns the empty string with the Encoding `ASCII-8BIT`:
  #     s = String.new
  #     s # => ""
  #     s.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
  #
  # With the single String argument `string`, returns a copy of `string` with the
  # same encoding as `string`:
  #     s = String.new("Que veut dire \u{e7}a?")
  #     s # => "Que veut dire \u{e7}a?"
  #     s.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
  #
  # Literal strings like `""` or here-documents always use [script
  # encoding](Encoding.html#class-Encoding-label-Script+encoding), unlike
  # String.new.
  #
  # With keyword `encoding`, returns a copy of `str` with the specified encoding:
  #     s = String.new(encoding: 'ASCII')
  #     s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
  #     s = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII')
  #     s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
  #
  # Note that these are equivalent:
  #     s0 = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII')
  #     s1 = 'foo'.force_encoding('ASCII')
  #     s0.encoding == s1.encoding # => true
  #
  # With keyword `capacity`, returns a copy of `str`; the given `capacity` may set
  # the size of the internal buffer, which may affect performance:
  #     String.new(capacity: 1) # => ""
  #     String.new(capacity: 4096) # => ""
  #
  # The `string`, `encoding`, and `capacity` arguments may all be used together:
  #
  #     String.new('hello', encoding: 'UTF-8', capacity: 25)
  #
  def initialize: (?string str, ?encoding: encoding, ?capacity: int) -> void

# 
  # Replaces the contents of `self` with the contents of `other_string`:
