There's a really easy way to answer this question for yourself:

$ ri chomp
(from ruby core)
Implementation from String
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  str.chomp(separator=$/)   => new_str

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Returns a new String with the given record separator removed from the
end of str (if present). If $/ has not been changed from the
default Ruby record separator, then chomp also removes carriage return
characters (that is it will remove n, r, and r\n).
