Receives up to maxlen bytes from socket. flags is zero or more of the MSG_ options. The first element of the results, mesg, is the data received. The second element, sender_addrinfo, contains protocol-specific address information of the sender.
maxlen - the maximum number of bytes to receive from the socket
flags - zero or more of the MSG_ options

On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to recvfrom fails:
Errno::EAGAIN - the socket file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK and no data is waiting to be received; or MSG_OOB is set and no out-of-band data is available and either the socket file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK or the socket does not support blocking to wait for out-of-band-data
Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - see Errno::EAGAIN
Errno::EBADF - the socket is not a valid file descriptor
Errno::ECONNRESET - a connection was forcibly closed by a peer
Errno::EFAULT - the socket’s internal buffer, address or address length cannot be accessed or written
Errno::EINTR - a signal interrupted recvfrom before any data was available
Errno::EINVAL - the MSG_OOB flag is set and no out-of-band data is available
Errno::EIO - an i/o error occurred while reading from or writing to the filesystem
Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation
Errno::ENOMEM - insufficient memory was available to fulfill the request
Errno::ENOSR - there were insufficient STREAMS resources available to complete the operation
Errno::ENOTCONN - a receive is attempted on a connection-mode socket that is not connected
Errno::ENOTSOCK - the socket does not refer to a socket
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the specified flags are not supported for this socket type
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection timed out during connection establishment or due to a transmission timeout on an active connection
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to recvfrom fails:
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
Errno::EFAULT - the internal buffer and from parameters on socket are not part of the user address space, or the internal fromlen parameter is too small to accommodate the peer address
Errno::EINTR - the (blocking) call was cancelled by an internal call to the WinSock function WSACancelBlockingCall
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a blocking Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
Errno::EINVAL - socket has not been bound with a call to bind, or an unknown flag was specified, or MSG_OOB was specified for a socket with SO_OOBINLINE enabled, or (for byte stream-style sockets only) the internal len parameter on socket was zero or negative
Errno::EISCONN - socket is already connected. The call to recvfrom is not permitted with a connected socket on a socket that is connection oriented or connectionless.
Errno::ENETRESET - the connection has been broken due to the keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - MSG_OOB was specified, but socket is not stream-style such as type SOCK_STREAM. OOB data is not supported in the communication domain associated with socket, or socket is unidirectional and supports only send operations
Errno::ESHUTDOWN - socket has been shutdown. It is not possible to call recvfrom on a socket after shutdown has been invoked.
Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - socket is marked as nonblocking and a call to recvfrom would block.
Errno::EMSGSIZE - the message was too large to fit into the specified buffer and was truncated.
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection has been dropped, because of a network failure or because the system on the other end went down without notice
Errno::ECONNRESET - the virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a hard or abortive close. The application should close the socket; it is no longer usable. On a UDP-datagram socket this error indicates a previous send operation resulted in an ICMP Port Unreachable message.
Creates a pair of sockets connected each other.
domain should be a communications domain such as: :INET, :INET6, :UNIX, etc.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain, defaults to 0 for the domain.
s1, s2 = Socket.pair(:UNIX, :STREAM, 0) s1.send "a", 0 s1.send "b", 0 s1.close p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab" p s2.recv(10) #=> "" p s2.recv(10) #=> "" s1, s2 = Socket.pair(:UNIX, :DGRAM, 0) s1.send "a", 0 s1.send "b", 0 p s2.recv(10) #=> "a" p s2.recv(10) #=> "b"
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:
Integer: 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 an Integer. 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)
Gets a socket option. These are protocol and system specific, see your local system documentation for details. The option is returned as a Socket::Option object.
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.
Some socket options are integers with boolean values, in this case getsockopt could be called like this:
reuseaddr = sock.getsockopt(:SOCKET, :REUSEADDR).bool optval = sock.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET,Socket::SO_REUSEADDR) optval = optval.unpack "i" reuseaddr = optval[0] == 0 ? false : true
Some socket options are integers with numeric values, in this case getsockopt could be called like this:
ipttl = sock.getsockopt(:IP, :TTL).int optval = sock.getsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_IP, Socket::IP_TTL) ipttl = optval.unpack("i")[0]
Option values may be structs. Decoding them can be complex as it involves examining your system headers to determine the correct definition. An example is a +struct linger+, which may be defined in your system headers as:
struct linger { int l_onoff; int l_linger; };
In this case getsockopt could be called like this:
# Socket::Option knows linger structure. onoff, linger = sock.getsockopt(:SOCKET, :LINGER).linger optval = sock.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_SOCKET, Socket::SO_LINGER) onoff, linger = optval.unpack "ii" onoff = onoff == 0 ? false : true
Returns the local address of the socket as a sockaddr string.

Returns an Array of the name and value of the environment variable with value or nil if the value cannot be found.
Writes the given object(s) to ios. Returns nil.
The stream must be opened for writing. Each given object that isn’t a string will be converted by calling its to_s method. When called without arguments, prints the contents of $_.
If the output field separator ($,) is not nil, it is inserted between objects. If the output record separator ($\) is not nil, it is appended to the output.
$stdout.print("This is ", 100, " percent.\n")
produces:
This is 100 percent.
Formats and writes to ios, converting parameters under control of the format string. See Kernel#sprintf for details.

Returns the prefix length in bits for the ipaddr.
Sets the prefix length in bits
Returns true iff the current severity level allows for the printing of ERROR messages.
