Returns a Hash in which the key-value pairs have been inverted.
Example:
require 'sdbm' SDBM.open 'my_database' do |db| db.update('apple' => 'fruit', 'spinach' => 'vegetable') db.invert #=> {"fruit" => "apple", "vegetable" => "spinach"} end
enable the socket option IPV6_V6ONLY if IPV6_V6ONLY is available.
Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.
remote_sockaddr - the struct sockaddr contained in a string or Addrinfo object

On unix-based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to connect fails:
Errno::EACCES - search permission is denied for a component of the prefix path or write access to the socket is denied
Errno::EADDRINUSE - the sockaddr is already in use

Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the attempt to connect time out before a connection was made.
On unix-based systems if the address family of the calling socket is AF_UNIX the follow exceptions may be raised if the call to connect fails:
Errno::EIO - an i/o error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system
Errno::ELOOP - too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname in sockaddr

connect function in Microsoft’s Winsock functions reference
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"

Obtains the port number for port.
If protocol_name is not given, “tcp” is assumed.
Socket.getservbyport(80) #=> "www" Socket.getservbyport(514, "tcp") #=> "shell" Socket.getservbyport(514, "udp") #=> "syslog"
creates a socket connected to the address of self.
The optional argument opts is options represented by a hash. opts may have following options:
specify the timeout in seconds.
If a block is given, it is called with the socket and the value of the block is returned. The socket is returned otherwise.
Addrinfo.tcp("www.ruby-lang.org", 80).connect {|s| s.print "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.ruby-lang.org\r\n\r\n" puts s.read }
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.
list = Addrinfo.getaddrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", 80, :INET, :STREAM, nil, Socket::AI_CANONNAME) p list[0] #=> #<Addrinfo: 221.186.184.68:80 TCP carbon.ruby-lang.org (www.ruby-lang.org)> p list[0].canonname #=> "carbon.ruby-lang.org"
Connects udpsocket to host:port.
This makes possible to send without destination address.
u1 = UDPSocket.new u1.bind("127.0.0.1", 4913) u2 = UDPSocket.new u2.connect("127.0.0.1", 4913) u2.send "uuuu", 0 p u1.recvfrom(10) #=> ["uuuu", ["AF_INET", 33230, "localhost", "127.0.0.1"]]
Returns the path of the local address of unixsocket.
s = UNIXServer.new("/tmp/sock") p s.path #=> "/tmp/sock"
Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain. 0 is default protocol for the domain.
s1, s2 = UNIXSocket.pair s1.send "a", 0 s1.send "b", 0 p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab"

This is a deprecated alias for each_char.
Appends the given string to the underlying buffer string. The stream must be opened for writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a string using to_s. Returns the number of bytes written. See IO#write.
Appends str to the string being scanned. This method does not affect scan pointer.
s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39") s.scan(/Fri /) s << " +1000 GMT" s.string # -> "Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39 +1000 GMT" s.scan(/Dec/) # -> "Dec"
Returns the character position of the scan pointer. In the ‘reset’ position, this value is zero. In the ‘terminated’ position (i.e. the string is exhausted), this value is the size of the string.
In short, it’s a 0-based index into the string.
s = StringScanner.new("abcädeföghi") s.charpos # -> 0 s.scan_until(/ä/) # -> "abcä" s.pos # -> 5 s.charpos # -> 4
Returns running OLE Automation object or WIN32OLE object from moniker. 1st argument should be OLE program id or class id or moniker.
WIN32OLE.connect('Excel.Application') # => WIN32OLE object which represents running Excel.
Sets current codepage. The WIN32OLE.codepage is initialized according to Encoding.default_internal. If Encoding.default_internal is nil then WIN32OLE.codepage is initialized according to Encoding.default_external.
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 WIN32OLE.codepage = 65001
Runs the early binding method to get property. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') puts excel._getproperty(558, [], []) # same effect as puts excel.visible
Runs the early binding method to set property. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel._setproperty(558, [true], [WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BOOL]) # same effect as excel.visible = true
Sets property of OLE object. When you want to set property with argument, you can use this method.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel.Visible = true book = excel.workbooks.add sheet = book.worksheets(1) sheet.setproperty('Cells', 1, 2, 10) # => The B1 cell value is 10.
Returns help context.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add') puts method.helpcontext # => 65717
Returns helpcontext. If helpcontext is not found, then returns nil.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Worksheet') puts tobj.helpfile # => 131185
