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.
