Note that SUS stands for Single Unix Specification. SUS contains POSIX and clock_gettime is defined in the POSIX part. SUS defines CLOCK_REALTIME mandatory but CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID are optional.
Also, several symbols are accepted as clock_id. There are emulations for clock_gettime().
For example, Process::CLOCK_REALTIME is defined as :GETTIMEOFDAY_BASED_CLOCK_REALTIME when clock_gettime() is not available.
Emulations for CLOCK_REALTIME:
Use gettimeofday() defined by SUS. (SUSv4 obsoleted it, though.) The resolution is 1 microsecond.
Use time() defined by ISO C. The resolution is 1 second.
Emulations for CLOCK_MONOTONIC:
Use mach_absolute_time(), available on Darwin. The resolution is CPU dependent.
Use the result value of times() defined by POSIX. POSIX defines it as “times() shall return the elapsed real time, in clock ticks, since an arbitrary point in the past (for example, system start-up time)”. For example, GNU/Linux returns a value based on jiffies and it is monotonic. However, 4.4BSD uses gettimeofday() and it is not monotonic. (FreeBSD uses clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) instead, though.) The resolution is the clock tick. “getconf CLK_TCK” command shows the clock ticks per second. (The clock ticks per second is defined by HZ macro in older systems.) If it is 100 and clock_t is 32 bits integer type, the resolution is 10 millisecond and cannot represent over 497 days.
Emulations for CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID:
Use getrusage() defined by SUS. getrusage() is used with RUSAGE_SELF to obtain the time only for the calling process (excluding the time for child processes). The result is addition of user time (ru_utime) and system time (ru_stime). The resolution is 1 microsecond.
Use times() defined by POSIX. The result is addition of user time (tms_utime) and system time (tms_stime). tms_cutime and tms_cstime are ignored to exclude the time for child processes. The resolution is the clock tick. “getconf CLK_TCK” command shows the clock ticks per second. (The clock ticks per second is defined by HZ macro in older systems.) If it is 100, the resolution is 10 millisecond.
Use clock() defined by ISO C. The resolution is 1/CLOCKS_PER_SEC. CLOCKS_PER_SEC is the C-level macro defined by time.h. SUS defines CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000. Non-Unix systems may define it a different value, though. If CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000 as SUS, the resolution is 1 microsecond. If CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000 and clock_t is 32 bits integer type, it cannot represent over 72 minutes.
If the given clock_id is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.
unit specifies a type of the return value.
number of seconds as a float (default)
number of milliseconds as a float
number of microseconds as a float
number of seconds as an integer
number of milliseconds as an integer
number of microseconds as an integer
number of nanoseconds as an integer
The underlying function, clock_gettime(), returns a number of nanoseconds. Float object (IEEE 754 double) is not enough to represent the return value for CLOCK_REALTIME. If the exact nanoseconds value is required, use :nanoseconds as the unit.
The origin (zero) of the returned value varies. For example, system start up time, process start up time, the Epoch, etc.
The origin in CLOCK_REALTIME is defined as the Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). But some systems count leap seconds and others doesn’t. So the result can be interpreted differently across systems. Time.now is recommended over CLOCK_REALTIME.
Returns the time resolution returned by POSIX clock_getres() function.
clock_id specifies a kind of clock. See the document of Process.clock_gettime for details.
clock_id can be a symbol as Process.clock_gettime. However the result may not be accurate. For example, Process.clock_getres(:GETTIMEOFDAY_BASED_CLOCK_REALTIME) returns 1.0e-06 which means 1 microsecond, but actual resolution can be more coarse.
If the given clock_id is not supported, Errno::EINVAL is raised.
unit specifies a type of the return value. Process.clock_getres accepts unit as Process.clock_gettime. The default value, :float_second, is also same as Process.clock_gettime.
Process.clock_getres also accepts :hertz as unit. :hertz means a the reciprocal of :float_second.
:hertz can be used to obtain the exact value of the clock ticks per second for times() function and CLOCKS_PER_SEC for clock() function.
Process.clock_getres(:TIMES_BASED_CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, :hertz) returns the clock ticks per second.
Process.clock_getres(:CLOCK_BASED_CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, :hertz) returns CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
p Process.clock_getres(Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC) #=> 1.0e-09
Returns the list of protected methods accessible to obj. If the all parameter is set to false, only those methods in the receiver will be listed.
Returns true if the set is a proper superset of the given set.
Returns true if the set is a proper subset of the given set.
Receives up to maxlen bytes from socket using recvfrom(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. 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.
When recvfrom(2) returns 0, Socket#recvfrom_nonblock returns an empty string as data. The meaning depends on the socket: EOF on TCP, empty packet on UDP, etc.
maxlen - the maximum number of bytes to receive from the socket
flags - zero or more of the MSG_ options
outbuf - destination String buffer
opts - keyword hash, supporting ‘exception: false`

Refer to Socket#recvfrom for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to recvfrom_nonblock fails.
Socket#recvfrom_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to recvfrom(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::EAGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying recvfrom_nonblock.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that recvfrom_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead.

When recvfrom(2) returns 0, Socket#recvfrom_nonblock returns an empty string as data. It means an empty packet.
