Hash#filter is an alias for Hash#select.

Returns a new Hash object whose entries are those for which the block returns a truthy value:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.select {|key, value| value < 2 } # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1}

Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
e = h.select # => #<Enumerator: {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}:select>
e.each {|key, value| value < 2 } # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1}

Hash#filter! is an alias for Hash#select!.

Returns self, whose entries are those for which the block returns a truthy value:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.select! {|key, value| value < 2 }  => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1}

Returns nil if no entries were removed.

Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
e = h.select!  # => #<Enumerator: {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}:select!>
e.each { |key, value| value < 2 } # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1}

ENV.filter is an alias for ENV.select.

Yields each environment variable name and its value as a 2-element Array, returning a Hash of the names and values for which the block returns a truthy value:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
ENV.select { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}
ENV.filter { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}

Returns an Enumerator if no block given:

e = ENV.select # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2", "foo"=>"0"}:select>
e.each { |name, value | name.start_with?('b') } # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}
e = ENV.filter # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2", "foo"=>"0"}:filter>
e.each { |name, value | name.start_with?('b') } # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}

ENV.filter! is an alias for ENV.select!.

Yields each environment variable name and its value as a 2-element Array, deleting each entry for which the block returns false or nil, and returning ENV if any deletions made, or nil otherwise:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
ENV.select! { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV
ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}
ENV.select! { |name, value| true } # => nil

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
ENV.filter! { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV
ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}
ENV.filter! { |name, value| true } # => nil

Returns an Enumerator if no block given:

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
e = ENV.select! # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}:select!>
e.each { |name, value| name.start_with?('b') } # => ENV
ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}

ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1', 'baz' => '2')
e = ENV.filter! # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}:filter!>

ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "baz"=>"2"}
e.each { |name, value| true } # => nil

Waits for the first ractor to have something in its outgoing port, reads from this ractor, and returns that ractor and the object received.

r1 = Ractor.new {Ractor.yield 'from 1'}
r2 = Ractor.new {Ractor.yield 'from 2'}

r, obj = Ractor.select(r1, r2)

puts "received #{obj.inspect} from #{r.inspect}"
# Prints: received "from 1" from #<Ractor:#2 test.rb:1 running>

If one of the given ractors is the current ractor, and it would be selected, r will contain :receive symbol instead of the ractor object.

r1 = Ractor.new(Ractor.current) do |main|
  main.send 'to main'
  Ractor.yield 'from 1'
end
r2 = Ractor.new do
  Ractor.yield 'from 2'
end

r, obj = Ractor.select(r1, r2, Ractor.current)
puts "received #{obj.inspect} from #{r.inspect}"
# Prints: received "to main" from :receive

If yield_value is provided, that value may be yielded if another Ractor is calling take. In this case, the pair [:yield, nil] would be returned:

r1 = Ractor.new(Ractor.current) do |main|
  puts "Received from main: #{main.take}"
end

puts "Trying to select"
r, obj = Ractor.select(r1, Ractor.current, yield_value: 123)
wait
puts "Received #{obj.inspect} from #{r.inspect}"

This will print:

Trying to select
Received from main: 123
Received nil from :yield

move boolean flag defines whether yielded value should be copied (default) or moved.

Invokes system call select(2), which monitors multiple file descriptors, waiting until one or more of the file descriptors becomes ready for some class of I/O operation.

Not implemented on all platforms.

Each of the arguments read_ios, write_ios, and error_ios is an array of IO objects.

Argument timeout is an integer timeout interval in seconds.

The method monitors the IO objects given in all three arrays, waiting for some to be ready; returns a 3-element array whose elements are:

• An array of the objects in read_ios that are ready for reading.

• An array of the objects in write_ios that are ready for writing.

• An array of the objects in error_ios have pending exceptions.

If no object becomes ready within the given timeout, nil is returned.

IO.select peeks the buffer of IO objects for testing readability. If the IO buffer is not empty, IO.select immediately notifies readability. This “peek” only happens for IO objects. It does not happen for IO-like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.

The best way to use IO.select is invoking it after non-blocking methods such as read_nonblock, write_nonblock, etc. The methods raise an exception which is extended by IO::WaitReadable or IO::WaitWritable. The modules notify how the caller should wait with IO.select. If IO::WaitReadable is raised, the caller should wait for reading. If IO::WaitWritable is raised, the caller should wait for writing.

So, blocking read (readpartial) can be emulated using read_nonblock and IO.select as follows:

begin
  result = io_like.read_nonblock(maxlen)
rescue IO::WaitReadable
  IO.select([io_like])
  retry
rescue IO::WaitWritable
  IO.select(nil, [io_like])
  retry
end

Especially, the combination of non-blocking methods and IO.select is preferred for IO like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket. It has to_io method to return underlying IO object. IO.select calls to_io to obtain the file descriptor to wait.

This means that readability notified by IO.select doesn’t mean readability from OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket object.

The most likely situation is that OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket buffers some data. IO.select doesn’t see the buffer. So IO.select can block when OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial doesn’t block.

However, several more complicated situations exist.

SSL is a protocol which is sequence of records. The record consists of multiple bytes. So, the remote side of SSL sends a partial record, IO.select notifies readability but OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket cannot decrypt a byte and OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial will block.

Also, the remote side can request SSL renegotiation which forces the local SSL engine to write some data. This means OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial may invoke write system call and it can block. In such a situation, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#read_nonblock raises IO::WaitWritable instead of blocking. So, the caller should wait for ready for writability as above example.

The combination of non-blocking methods and IO.select is also useful for streams such as tty, pipe socket socket when multiple processes read from a stream.

Finally, Linux kernel developers don’t guarantee that readability of select(2) means readability of following read(2) even for a single process; see select(2)

Invoking IO.select before IO#readpartial works well as usual. However it is not the best way to use IO.select.

The writability notified by select(2) doesn’t show how many bytes are writable. IO#write method blocks until given whole string is written. So, IO#write(two or more bytes) can block after writability is notified by IO.select. IO#write_nonblock is required to avoid the blocking.

Blocking write (write) can be emulated using write_nonblock and IO.select as follows: IO::WaitReadable should also be rescued for SSL renegotiation in OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.

while 0 < string.bytesize
  begin
    written = io_like.write_nonblock(string)
  rescue IO::WaitReadable
    IO.select([io_like])
    retry
  rescue IO::WaitWritable
    IO.select(nil, [io_like])
    retry
  end
  string = string.byteslice(written..-1)
end

Example:

rp, wp = IO.pipe
mesg = "ping "
100.times {
  # IO.select follows IO#read.  Not the best way to use IO.select.
  rs, ws, = IO.select([rp], [wp])
  if r = rs[0]
    ret = r.read(5)
    print ret
    case ret
    when /ping/
      mesg = "pong\n"
    when /pong/
      mesg = "ping "
    end
  end
  if w = ws[0]
    w.write(mesg)
  end
}

Output:

ping pong
ping pong
ping pong
(snipped)
ping

Detach the process from controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemon. Unless the argument nochdir is true (i.e. non false), it changes the current working directory to the root (“/”). Unless the argument noclose is true, daemon() will redirect standard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null. Return zero on success, or raise one of Errno::*.

Returns the destination encoding name as a string.

Returns the destination encoding name as a string.

Clear recorded tracing information.

Takes a token and gets the next token in the Negotiate authentication chain. Token can be Base64 encoded or not. The token can include the “Negotiate” header and it will be stripped. Does not indicate if SEC_I_CONTINUE or SEC_E_OK was returned. Token returned is Base64 encoded w/ all new lines removed.
