root?()

#root? is a predicate for root directories. I.e. it returns true if the pathname consists of consecutive slashes.

It doesn’t access actual filesystem. So it may return false for some pathnames which points to roots such as /usr/...

# File lib/pathname.rb, line 483
  def root?
    !!(chop_basename(@path) == nil && /#{SEPARATOR_PAT}/o =~ @path)
  end
