Convert this range object to a printable form (using inspect to convert the begin and end objects).
Alias for Regexp.new
Return a Regexp object that is the union of the given patterns, i.e., will match any of its parts. The patterns can be Regexp objects, in which case their options will be preserved, or Strings. If no patterns are given, returns /(?!)/. The behavior is unspecified if any given pattern contains capture.
Regexp.union #=> /(?!)/ Regexp.union("penzance") #=> /penzance/ Regexp.union("a+b*c") #=> /a\+b\*c/ Regexp.union("skiing", "sledding") #=> /skiing|sledding/ Regexp.union(["skiing", "sledding"]) #=> /skiing|sledding/ Regexp.union(/dogs/, /cats/i) #=> /(?-mix:dogs)|(?i-mx:cats)/
Note: the arguments for ::union will try to be converted into a regular expression literal via to_regexp.
Produce a nicely formatted string-version of rxp. Perhaps surprisingly, #inspect actually produces the more natural version of the string than #to_s.
/ab+c/ix.inspect #=> "/ab+c/ix"
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of obj.
provides a unified clone operation, for REXML::XPathParser to use across multiple Object types
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of sym.
See File.lstat.
Return column number of current parsing line. This number starts from 0.
Return scanner state of current token.
Return encoding of the source.
enable the socket option IPV6_V6ONLY if IPV6_V6ONLY is available.
Listens for connections, using the specified int as the backlog. A call to listen only applies if the socket is of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET.
backlog - the maximum length of the queue for pending connections.
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) socket.bind( sockaddr ) socket.listen( 5 )
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) socket.listen( 1 )
On unix based systems the above will work because a new sockaddr struct is created on the address ADDR_ANY, for an arbitrary port number as handed off by the kernel. It will not work on Windows, because Windows requires that the socket is bound by calling bind before it can listen.
If the backlog amount exceeds the implementation-dependent maximum queue length, the implementation’s maximum queue length will be used.
On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
Errno::EBADF - the socket argument is not a valid file descriptor
Errno::EDESTADDRREQ - the socket is not bound to a local address, and the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket
Errno::EINVAL - the socket is already connected
Errno::ENOTSOCK - the socket argument does not refer to a socket
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the socket protocol does not support listen
Errno::EACCES - the calling process does not have appropriate privileges
Errno::EINVAL - the socket has been shut down
Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources are available in the system to complete the call
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
Errno::EADDRINUSE - the socket’s local address is already in use. This usually occurs during the execution of bind but could be delayed if the call to bind was to a partially wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY) and if a specific address needs to be committed at the time of the call to listen
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
Errno::EINVAL - the socket has not been bound with a call to bind.
Errno::EISCONN - the socket is already connected
Errno::EMFILE - no more socket descriptors are available
Errno::ENOBUFS - no buffer space is available
Errno::ENOTSOC - socket is not a socket
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the referenced socket is not a type that supports the listen method

Returns the hostname.
p Socket.gethostname #=> "hal"
Note that it is not guaranteed to be able to convert to IP address using gethostbyname, getaddrinfo, etc. If you need local IP address, use Socket.ip_address_list.
Use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo instead. This method is deprecated for the following reasons:
The 3rd element of the result is the address family of the first address. The address families of the rest of the addresses are not returned.
Uncommon address representation: 4/16-bytes binary string to represent IPv4/IPv6 address.
gethostbyname() may take a long time and it may block other threads. (GVL cannot be released since gethostbyname() is not thread safe.)
This method uses gethostbyname() function already removed from POSIX.
This method obtains the host information for hostname.
p Socket.gethostbyname("hal") #=> ["localhost", ["hal"], 2, "\x7F\x00\x00\x01"]
Use Addrinfo#getnameinfo instead. This method is deprecated for the following reasons:
Uncommon address representation: 4/16-bytes binary string to represent IPv4/IPv6 address.
gethostbyaddr() may take a long time and it may block other threads. (GVL cannot be released since gethostbyname() is not thread safe.)

This method obtains the host information for address.
p Socket.gethostbyaddr([221,186,184,68].pack("CCCC"))

Return a string describing this IPSocket object.
creates a listening socket bound to self.
returns a string which shows addrinfo in human-readable form.
Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 80).inspect #=> "#<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 TCP (localhost)>" Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock").inspect #=> "#<Addrinfo: /tmp/sock SOCK_STREAM>"
returns the socket type as an integer.
Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 80).protocol == Socket::IPPROTO_TCP #=> true
returns the canonical name as an string.
nil is returned if no canonical name.
The canonical name is set by Addrinfo.getaddrinfo when AI_CANONNAME is specified.
