Returns a string containing the IP address representation in canonical form.
Creates a Range
object for the network address.
Explicit conversion to a Matrix
. Returns self
Return a single-column matrix from this vector
Returns self if no arguments are given. Otherwise, converts the set to another with klass.new(self, *args, &block).
In subclasses, returns klass.new(self, *args, &block) unless overridden.
Makes a set from the enumerable object with given arguments. Needs to +require “set”+ to use this method.
Dump Ruby object
to a JSON
string.
Convert a reference into an object using the current server.
This raises a DRbServerNotFound
error if there is no current server. See current_server
.
Get a reference id for an object using the current server.
This raises a DRbServerNotFound
error if there is no current server. See current_server
.

Module
managing the underlying network protocol(s) used by drb.
By default, drb uses the DRbTCPSocket
protocol. Other protocols can be defined. A protocol must define the following class methods:
[open(uri, config)] Open a client connection to the server at +uri+, using configuration +config+. Return a protocol instance for this connection. [open_server(uri, config)] Open a server listening at +uri+, using configuration +config+. Return a protocol instance for this listener. [uri_option(uri, config)] Take a URI, possibly containing an option component (e.g. a trailing '?param=val'), and return a [uri, option] tuple.
All of these methods should raise a DRbBadScheme
error if the URI
does not identify the protocol they support (e.g. “druby:” for the standard Ruby protocol). This is how the DRbProtocol
module, given a URI
, determines which protocol implementation serves that protocol.
The protocol instance returned by open_server
must have the following methods:
Accept a new connection to the server. Returns a protocol instance capable of communicating with the client.
Close the server connection.
Get the URI
for this server.
The protocol instance returned by open
must have the following methods:
Send a request to ref
with the given message id and arguments. This is most easily implemented by calling DRbMessage.send_request, providing a stream that sits on top of the current protocol.
Receive a reply from the server and return it as a [success-boolean, reply-value] pair. This is most easily implemented by calling DRb.recv_reply, providing a stream that sits on top of the current protocol.
Is this connection still alive?
Close this connection.
The protocol instance returned by open_server()
.accept() must have the following methods:
Receive a request from the client and return a [object, message, args, block] tuple. This is most easily implemented by calling DRbMessage.recv_request, providing a stream that sits on top of the current protocol.
Send a reply to the client. This is most easily implemented by calling DRbMessage.send_reply, providing a stream that sits on top of the current protocol.
Close this connection.
A new protocol is registered with the DRbProtocol
module using the add_protocol
method.
For examples of other protocols, see DRbUNIXSocket
in drb/unix.rb, and HTTP0 in sample/http0.rb and sample/http0serv.rb in the full drb distribution.
