Turns the database’s fast mode on or off. If fast mode is turned on, gdbm does not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing.
This option is obsolete for gdbm >= 1.8 since fast mode is turned on by default. See also: syncmode=
Iterates over the range, passing each n
th element to the block. If begin and end are numeric, n
is added for each iteration. Otherwise step
invokes succ to iterate through range elements.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead. Especially, the enumerator is an Enumerator::ArithmeticSequence
if begin and end of the range are numeric.
range = Xs.new(1)..Xs.new(10) range.step(2) {|x| puts x} puts range.step(3) {|x| puts x}
produces:
1 x 3 xxx 5 xxxxx 7 xxxxxxx 9 xxxxxxxxx 1 x 4 xxxx 7 xxxxxxx 10 xxxxxxxxxx
See Range
for the definition of class Xs.
Returns the first object in the range, or an array of the first n
elements.
(10..20).first #=> 10 (10..20).first(3) #=> [10, 11, 12]
Returns the last object in the range, or an array of the last n
elements.
Note that with no arguments last
will return the object that defines the end of the range even if exclude_end?
is true
.
(10..20).last #=> 20 (10...20).last #=> 20 (10..20).last(3) #=> [18, 19, 20] (10...20).last(3) #=> [17, 18, 19]
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
Callback invoked whenever a subclass of the current class is created.
Example:
class Foo def self.inherited(subclass) puts "New subclass: #{subclass}" end end class Bar < Foo end class Baz < Bar end
produces:
New subclass: Bar New subclass: Baz
Recursively deletes a directory, including all directories beneath it.

Return scanner state of current token.
Stores a new value
in the database with the given key
as an index.
If the key
already exists, this will update the value
associated with the key
.
Returns the given value
.
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 uses gethostbyname() function already removed from POSIX.
This method obtains the host information for address.
p Socket.gethostbyaddr([221,186,184,68].pack("CCCC")) #=> ["carbon.ruby-lang.org", [], 2, "\xDD\xBA\xB8D"] p Socket.gethostbyaddr([127,0,0,1].pack("CCCC")) ["localhost", [], 2, "\x7F\x00\x00\x01"] p Socket.gethostbyaddr(([0]*15+[1]).pack("C"*16)) #=> ["localhost", ["ip6-localhost", "ip6-loopback"], 10, "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01"]
Obtains address information for nodename:servname.
Note that Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
provides the same functionality in an object oriented style.
family should be an address family such as: :INET, :INET6, etc.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the family, and defaults to 0 for the family.
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::AI_* constants.
Socket.getaddrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", "http", nil, :STREAM) #=> [["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68", 2, 1, 6]] # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP Socket.getaddrinfo("localhost", nil) #=> [["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 1, 6], # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 2, 17], # PF_INET/SOCK_DGRAM/IPPROTO_UDP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 3, 0]] # PF_INET/SOCK_RAW/IPPROTO_IP
reverse_lookup directs the form of the third element, and has to be one of below. If reverse_lookup is omitted, the default value is nil
.
+true+, +:hostname+: hostname is obtained from numeric address using reverse lookup, which may take a time. +false+, +:numeric+: hostname is same as numeric address. +nil+: obey to the current +do_not_reverse_lookup+ flag.
If Addrinfo
object is preferred, use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
.
creates a listening socket bound to self.
