Reads at most maxlen bytes from the I/O stream. It blocks only if ios has no data immediately available. It doesn’t block if some data available.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of file.
readpartial is designed for streams such as pipe, socket, tty, etc. It blocks only when no data immediately available. This means that it blocks only when following all conditions hold.
the byte buffer in the IO object is empty.
the content of the stream is empty.
the stream is not reached to EOF.
When readpartial blocks, it waits data or EOF on the stream. If some data is reached, readpartial returns with the data. If EOF is reached, readpartial raises EOFError.
When readpartial doesn’t blocks, it returns or raises immediately. If the byte buffer is not empty, it returns the data in the buffer. Otherwise if the stream has some content, it returns the data in the stream. Otherwise if the stream is reached to EOF, it raises EOFError.
r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc". r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" "" r.readpartial(4096) # blocks because buffer and pipe is empty. r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc" w.close # "" "abc" EOF r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # raises EOFError r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc\ndef\n" # "" "abc\ndef\n" r.gets #=> "abc\n" "def\n" "" w << "ghi\n" # "def\n" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "def\n" "" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "ghi\n" "" ""
Note that readpartial behaves similar to sysread. The differences are:
If the byte buffer is not empty, read from the byte buffer instead of “sysread for buffered IO (IOError)”.
It doesn’t cause Errno::EWOULDBLOCK and Errno::EINTR. When readpartial meets EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR by read system call, readpartial retry the system call.
The latter means that readpartial is nonblocking-flag insensitive. It blocks on the situation IO#sysread causes Errno::EWOULDBLOCK as if the fd is blocking mode.
Sets a socket option. These are protocol and system specific, see your local system documentation for details.
level is an integer, usually one of the SOL_ constants such as Socket::SOL_SOCKET, or a protocol level. A string or symbol of the name, possibly without prefix, is also accepted.
optname is an integer, usually one of the SO_ constants, such as Socket::SO_REUSEADDR. A string or symbol of the name, possibly without prefix, is also accepted.
optval is the value of the option, it is passed to the underlying setsockopt() as a pointer to a certain number of bytes. How this is done depends on the type:
Fixnum: value is assigned to an int, and a pointer to the int is passed, with length of sizeof(int).
true or false: 1 or 0 (respectively) is assigned to an int, and the int is passed as for a Fixnum. Note that false must be passed, not nil.
String: the string’s data and length is passed to the socket.
socketoption is an instance of Socket::Option
Some socket options are integers with boolean values, in this case setsockopt could be called like this:
sock.setsockopt(:SOCKET, :REUSEADDR, true) sock.setsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET,Socket::SO_REUSEADDR, true) sock.setsockopt(Socket::Option.bool(:INET, :SOCKET, :REUSEADDR, true))
Some socket options are integers with numeric values, in this case setsockopt could be called like this:
sock.setsockopt(:IP, :TTL, 255) sock.setsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_IP, Socket::IP_TTL, 255) sock.setsockopt(Socket::Option.int(:INET, :IP, :TTL, 255))
Option values may be structs. Passing them can be complex as it involves examining your system headers to determine the correct definition. An example is an ip_mreq, which may be defined in your system headers as:
struct ip_mreq { struct in_addr imr_multiaddr; struct in_addr imr_interface; };
In this case setsockopt could be called like this:
optval = IPAddr.new("224.0.0.251").hton + IPAddr.new(Socket::INADDR_ANY, Socket::AF_INET).hton sock.setsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_IP, Socket::IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, optval)
Runs the early binding method to set property. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel._setproperty(558, [true], [WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BOOL]) # same effect as excel.visible = true
Sets property of OLE object. When you want to set property with argument, you can use this method.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel.Visible = true book = excel.workbooks.add sheet = book.worksheets(1) sheet.setproperty('Cells', 1, 2, 10) # => The B1 cell value is 10.
Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup. It returns a string in RFC3172 form for an IPv6 address.
Add separator in summary.
Opens a new transaction for the data store. Code executed inside a block passed to this method may read and write data to and from the data store file.
At the end of the block, changes are committed to the data store automatically. You may exit the transaction early with a call to either PStore#commit or PStore#abort. See those methods for details about how changes are handled. Raising an uncaught Exception in the block is equivalent to calling PStore#abort.
If read_only is set to true, you will only be allowed to read from the data store during the transaction and any attempts to change the data will raise a PStore::Error.
Note that PStore does not support nested transactions.
Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
Returns true if the set is a superset of the given set.
Returns true if the set and the given set have at least one element in common.
e.g.:
require 'set' Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[4, 5] # => false Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[3, 4] # => true
Returns x/y;
Rational(1, 2) #=> (1/2) Rational('1/2') #=> (1/2) Rational(nil) #=> TypeError Rational(1, nil) #=> TypeError
Syntax of string form:
string form = extra spaces , rational , extra spaces ;
rational = [ sign ] , unsigned rational ;
unsigned rational = numerator | numerator , "/" , denominator ;
numerator = integer part | fractional part | integer part , fractional part ;
denominator = digits ;
integer part = digits ;
fractional part = "." , digits , [ ( "e" | "E" ) , [ sign ] , digits ] ;
sign = "-" | "+" ;
digits = digit , { digit | "_" , digit } ;
digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" ;
extra spaces = ? \s* ? ;
See String#to_r.
Allows setting the gem path searcher. This method is available when requiring ‘rubygems/test_case’
Merge a set of command options with the set of default options (without modifying the default option hash).
Sets the XMLParser to use for parsing XML documents.
Should be an instance of a class from module XMLRPC::XMLParser.
If this method is not called, then XMLRPC::Config::DEFAULT_PARSER is used.
Add the –prerelease option to the option parser.
Run UDP/IP server loop on the given sockets.
The return value of Socket.udp_server_sockets is appropriate for the argument.
It calls the block for each message received.
Parses a given string as a blob that contains configuration for openssl.
If the source of the IO is a file, then consider using parse_config.
Get the names of all sections in the current configuration
Another entry point for the parser. If you use this method, you must implement RECEIVER#METHOD_ID method.
RECEIVER#METHOD_ID is a method to get next token. It must ‘yield’ the token, which format is [TOKEN-SYMBOL, VALUE].
Starts the parser. init is a data accumulator and is passed to the next event handler (as of Enumerable#inject).
