Returns collection of supported makers
Calls say with msg or the results of the block if really_verbose is true.
Tries to convert obj into an array, using to_ary method. Returns the converted array or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason. This method can be used to check if an argument is an array.
Array.try_convert([1]) #=> [1] Array.try_convert("1") #=> nil if tmp = Array.try_convert(arg) # the argument is an array elsif tmp = String.try_convert(arg) # the argument is a string end
Replaces the contents of self with the contents of other_ary, truncating or expanding if necessary.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" ] a.replace([ "x", "y", "z" ]) #=> ["x", "y", "z"] a #=> ["x", "y", "z"]
By using binary search, finds an index of a value from this array which meets the given condition in O(log n) where n is the size of the array.
It supports two modes, depending on the nature of the block and they are exactly the same as in the case of bsearch method with the only difference being that this method returns the index of the element instead of the element itself. For more details consult the documentation for bsearch.
Numerics are immutable values, which should not be copied.
Any attempt to use this method on a Numeric will raise a TypeError.
Try to convert obj into a String, using to_str method. Returns converted string or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.
String.try_convert("str") #=> "str" String.try_convert(/re/) #=> nil
Replaces the contents and taintedness of str with the corresponding values in other_str.
s = "hello" #=> "hello" s.replace "world" #=> "world"
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. The given pathname may start with a “~”, which expands to the process owner’s home directory (the environment variable HOME must be set correctly). “~user” expands to the named user’s home directory.
File.expand_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "/home/oracle/bin"
A simple example of using dir_string is as follows.
File.expand_path("ruby", "/usr/bin") #=> "/usr/bin/ruby"
A more complex example which also resolves parent directory is as follows. Suppose we are in bin/mygem and want the absolute path of lib/mygem.rb.
File.expand_path("../../lib/mygem.rb", __FILE__) #=> ".../path/to/project/lib/mygem.rb"
So first it resolves the parent of __FILE__, that is bin/, then go to the parent, the root of the project and appends lib/mygem.rb.
Returns whether ASCII-compatible or not.
Encoding::UTF_8.ascii_compatible? #=> true Encoding::UTF_16BE.ascii_compatible? #=> false
Sets the named constant to the given object, returning that object. Creates a new constant if no constant with the given name previously existed.
Math.const_set("HIGH_SCHOOL_PI", 22.0/7.0) #=> 3.14285714285714 Math::HIGH_SCHOOL_PI - Math::PI #=> 0.00126448926734968
If sym or str is not a valid constant name a NameError will be raised with a warning “wrong constant name”.
Object.const_set('foobar', 42) #=> NameError: wrong constant name foobar
Returns the factorization of self.
See Prime#prime_division for more details.
Return the number of seconds the specified time zone differs from UTC.
Numeric time zones that include minutes, such as -10:00 or +1330 will work, as will simpler hour-only time zones like -10 or +13.
Textual time zones listed in ZoneOffset are also supported.
If the time zone does not match any of the above, zone_offset will check if the local time zone (both with and without potential Daylight Saving Time changes being in effect) matches zone. Specifying a value for year will change the year used to find the local time zone.
If zone_offset is unable to determine the offset, nil will be returned.
Try to convert obj into an IO, using to_io method. Returns converted IO or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.
IO.try_convert(STDOUT) #=> STDOUT IO.try_convert("STDOUT") #=> nil require 'zlib' f = open("/tmp/zz.gz") #=> #<File:/tmp/zz.gz> z = Zlib::GzipReader.open(f) #=> #<Zlib::GzipReader:0x81d8744> IO.try_convert(z) #=> #<File:/tmp/zz.gz>
Try to convert obj into a Regexp, using to_regexp method. Returns converted regexp or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.
Regexp.try_convert(/re/) #=> /re/ Regexp.try_convert("re") #=> nil o = Object.new Regexp.try_convert(o) #=> nil def o.to_regexp() /foo/ end Regexp.try_convert(o) #=> /foo/
Accepts an incoming connection using accept(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. It returns an array containing the accepted socket for the incoming connection, client_socket, and an Addrinfo, client_addrinfo.
# In one script, start this first require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(2200, 'localhost') socket.bind(sockaddr) socket.listen(5) begin # emulate blocking accept client_socket, client_addrinfo = socket.accept_nonblock rescue IO::WaitReadable, Errno::EINTR IO.select([socket]) retry end puts "The client said, '#{client_socket.readline.chomp}'" client_socket.puts "Hello from script one!" socket.close # In another script, start this second require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(2200, 'localhost') socket.connect(sockaddr) socket.puts "Hello from script 2." puts "The server said, '#{socket.readline.chomp}'" socket.close
Refer to Socket#accept for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to accept_nonblock fails.
Socket#accept_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to accept(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EAGAIN, Errno::ECONNABORTED or Errno::EPROTO, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying accept_nonblock.
By specifying ‘exception: false`, the options hash allows you to indicate that accept_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead.
yield socket and client address for each a connection accepted via given sockets.
The arguments are a list of sockets. The individual argument should be a socket or an array of sockets.
This method yields the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.
# +remote_sockaddr+ - the +struct+ sockaddr contained in a string or Addrinfo object
# Pull down Google's web page require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(80, 'www.google.com') begin # emulate blocking connect socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr) rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [socket]) # wait 3-way handshake completion begin socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr) # check connection failure rescue Errno::EISCONN end end socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") results = socket.read
Refer to Socket#connect for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to connect_nonblock fails.
Socket#connect_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to connect(2) failure, including Errno::EINPROGRESS.
If the exception is Errno::EINPROGRESS, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable. So IO::WaitWritable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying connect_nonblock.
By specifying ‘exception: false`, the options hash allows you to indicate that connect_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.
# Socket#connect
sendmsg_nonblock sends a message using sendmsg(2) system call in non-blocking manner.
It is similar to BasicSocket#sendmsg but the non-blocking flag is set before the system call and it doesn’t retry the system call.
By specifying ‘exception: false`, the opts hash allows you to indicate that sendmsg_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.
creates a new Socket connected to the address of local_addrinfo.
If local_addrinfo is nil, the address of the socket is not bound.
The timeout specify the seconds for timeout. Errno::ETIMEDOUT is raised when timeout occur.
If a block is given the created socket is yielded for each address.
Returns the IP address and port number as 2-element array.
Addrinfo.tcp("127.0.0.1", 80).ip_unpack #=> ["127.0.0.1", 80] Addrinfo.tcp("::1", 80).ip_unpack #=> ["::1", 80]
Accepts an incoming connection using accept(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. It returns an accepted TCPSocket for the incoming connection.
require 'socket' serv = TCPServer.new(2202) begin # emulate blocking accept sock = serv.accept_nonblock rescue IO::WaitReadable, Errno::EINTR IO.select([serv]) retry end # sock is an accepted socket.
Refer to Socket#accept for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to TCPServer#accept_nonblock fails.
TCPServer#accept_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to accept(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EAGAIN, Errno::ECONNABORTED, Errno::EPROTO, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying accept_nonblock.
By specifying ‘exception: false`, the options hash allows you to indicate that accept_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead.
Accepts an incoming connection using accept(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. It returns an accepted UNIXSocket for the incoming connection.
require 'socket' serv = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock") begin # emulate blocking accept sock = serv.accept_nonblock rescue IO::WaitReadable, Errno::EINTR IO.select([serv]) retry end # sock is an accepted socket.
Refer to Socket#accept for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to UNIXServer#accept_nonblock fails.
UNIXServer#accept_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to accept(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EAGAIN, Errno::ECONNABORTED or Errno::EPROTO, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying accept_nonblock.
