The number of bytes that are immediately available for reading.
The version requirement for this dependency request
Returns true, if circular data structures should be checked, otherwise returns false.
If the stream begins with a BOM (byte order marker), consumes the BOM and sets the external encoding accordingly; returns the result encoding if found, or nil otherwise:
File.write('t.tmp', "\u{FEFF}abc") io = File.open('t.tmp', 'rb') io.set_encoding_by_bom # => #<Encoding:UTF-8> io.close File.write('t.tmp', 'abc') io = File.open('t.tmp', 'rb') io.set_encoding_by_bom # => nil io.close
Raises an exception if the stream is not binmode or its encoding has already been set.
Sets the encoding to be used for the response body; returns the encoding.
The given value may be:
An Encoding object.
The name of an encoding.
An alias for an encoding name.
See Encoding.
Examples:
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) http.response_body_encoding = Encoding::US_ASCII # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII> http.response_body_encoding = 'US-ASCII' # => "US-ASCII" http.response_body_encoding = 'ASCII' # => "ASCII"
