The marshaling library converts collections of Ruby objects into a byte stream, allowing them to be stored outside the currently active script. This data may subsequently be read and the original objects reconstituted.
Marshaled data has major and minor version numbers stored along with the object information. In normal use, marshaling can only load data written with the same major version number and an equal or lower minor version number. If Ruby’s “verbose” flag is set (normally using -d, -v, -w, or –verbose) the major and minor numbers must match exactly. Marshal versioning is independent of Ruby’s version numbers. You can extract the version by reading the first two bytes of marshaled data.
str = Marshal.dump("thing") RUBY_VERSION #=> "1.9.0" str[0].ord #=> 4 str[1].ord #=> 8
Some objects cannot be dumped: if the objects to be dumped include bindings, procedure or method objects, instances of class IO, or singleton objects, a TypeError will be raised.
If your class has special serialization needs (for example, if you want to serialize in some specific format), or if it contains objects that would otherwise not be serializable, you can implement your own serialization strategy.
There are two methods of doing this, your object can define either marshal_dump and marshal_load or _dump and _load. marshal_dump will take precedence over _dump if both are defined. marshal_dump may result in smaller Marshal strings.
By design, Marshal.load can deserialize almost any class loaded into the Ruby process. In many cases this can lead to remote code execution if the Marshal data is loaded from an untrusted source.
As a result, Marshal.load is not suitable as a general purpose serialization format and you should never unmarshal user supplied input or other untrusted data.
If you need to deserialize untrusted data, use JSON or another serialization format that is only able to load simple, ‘primitive’ types such as String, Array, Hash, etc. Never allow user input to specify arbitrary types to deserialize into.
When dumping an object the method marshal_dump will be called. marshal_dump must return a result containing the information necessary for marshal_load to reconstitute the object. The result can be any object.
When loading an object dumped using marshal_dump the object is first allocated then marshal_load is called with the result from marshal_dump. marshal_load must recreate the object from the information in the result.
Example:
class MyObj def initialize name, version, data @name = name @version = version @data = data end def marshal_dump [@name, @version] end def marshal_load array @name, @version = array end end
Use _dump and _load when you need to allocate the object you’re restoring yourself.
When dumping an object the instance method _dump is called with an Integer which indicates the maximum depth of objects to dump (a value of -1 implies that you should disable depth checking). _dump must return a String containing the information necessary to reconstitute the object.
The class method _load should take a String and use it to return an object of the same class.
Example:
class MyObj def initialize name, version, data @name = name @version = version @data = data end def _dump level [@name, @version].join ':' end def self._load args new(*args.split(':')) end end
Since Marshal.dump outputs a string you can have _dump return a Marshal string which is Marshal.loaded in _load for complex objects.

This is not an existing class, but documentation of the interface that Scheduler object should comply to in order to be used as argument to Fiber.scheduler and handle non-blocking fibers. See also the “Non-blocking fibers” section in Fiber class docs for explanations of some concepts.
Scheduler’s behavior and usage are expected to be as follows:
When the execution in the non-blocking Fiber reaches some blocking operation (like sleep, wait for a process, or a non-ready I/O), it calls some of the scheduler’s hook methods, listed below.
Scheduler somehow registers what the current fiber is waiting on, and yields control to other fibers with Fiber.yield (so the fiber would be suspended while expecting its wait to end, and other fibers in the same thread can perform)
At the end of the current thread execution, the scheduler’s method close is called
The scheduler runs into a wait loop, checking all the blocked fibers (which it has registered on hook calls) and resuming them when the awaited resource is ready (e.g. I/O ready or sleep time elapsed).
A typical implementation would probably rely for this closing loop on a gem like EventMachine or Async.
This way concurrent execution will be achieved transparently for every individual Fiber’s code.
Hook methods are:
(the list is expanded as Ruby developers make more methods having non-blocking calls)
When not specified otherwise, the hook implementations are mandatory: if they are not implemented, the methods trying to call hook will fail. To provide backward compatibility, in the future hooks will be optional (if they are not implemented, due to the scheduler being created for the older Ruby version, the code which needs this hook will not fail, and will just behave in a blocking fashion).
It is also strongly recommended that the scheduler implements the fiber method, which is delegated to by Fiber.schedule.
Sample toy implementation of the scheduler can be found in Ruby’s code, in test/fiber/scheduler.rb
Enumerator::Chain is a subclass of Enumerator, which represents a chain of enumerables that works as a single enumerator.
This type of objects can be created by Enumerable#chain and Enumerator#+.
Raised by Encoding and String methods when the source encoding is incompatible with the target encoding.
This exception is raised if a generator or unparser error occurs.
OpenSSL::HMAC allows computing Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). It is a type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a hash function in combination with a key. HMAC can be used to verify the integrity of a message as well as the authenticity.
OpenSSL::HMAC has a similar interface to OpenSSL::Digest.
key = "key" data = "message-to-be-authenticated" mac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest("SHA256", key, data) #=> "cddb0db23f469c8bf072b21fd837149bd6ace9ab771cceef14c9e517cc93282e"
data1 = File.binread("file1") data2 = File.binread("file2") key = "key" hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, 'SHA256') hmac << data1 hmac << data2 mac = hmac.digest

Thrown when PTY::check is called for a pid that represents a process that has exited.
Socket::AncillaryData represents the ancillary data (control information) used by sendmsg and recvmsg system call. It contains socket family, control message (cmsg) level, cmsg type and cmsg data.
Subclass of Zlib::Error when zlib returns a Z_DATA_ERROR.
Usually if a stream was prematurely freed.
Zlib::Deflate is the class for compressing data. See Zlib::ZStream for more information.
Zlib:Inflate is the class for decompressing compressed data. Unlike Zlib::Deflate, an instance of this class is not able to duplicate (clone, dup) itself.
Objects of class File::Stat encapsulate common status information for File objects. The information is recorded at the moment the File::Stat object is created; changes made to the file after that point will not be reflected. File::Stat objects are returned by IO#stat, File::stat, File#lstat, and File::lstat. Many of these methods return platform-specific values, and not all values are meaningful on all systems. See also Kernel#test.
An ObjectSpace::WeakMap object holds references to any objects, but those objects can get garbage collected.
This class is mostly used internally by WeakRef, please use lib/weakref.rb for the public interface.
The error thrown when the parser encounters illegal CSV formatting.
