Attempts to convert object into an IO object via method to_io; returns the new IO object if successful, or nil otherwise:
IO.try_convert(STDOUT) # => #<IO:<STDOUT>> IO.try_convert(ARGF) # => #<IO:<STDIN>> IO.try_convert('STDOUT') # => nil
Closes the stream for reading if open for reading; returns nil. See Open and Closed Streams.
If the stream was opened by IO.popen and is also closed for writing, sets global variable $? (child exit status).
Example:
IO.popen('ruby', 'r+') do |pipe| puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_write puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_read puts $? puts pipe.closed? end
Output:
false false pid 14748 exit 0 true

Closes the stream for writing if open for writing; returns nil. See Open and Closed Streams.
Flushes any buffered writes to the operating system before closing.
If the stream was opened by IO.popen and is also closed for reading, sets global variable $? (child exit status).
IO.popen('ruby', 'r+') do |pipe| puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_read puts pipe.closed? pipe.close_write puts $? puts pipe.closed? end
Output:
false false pid 15044 exit 0 true

Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the stream, or nil if the stream is in write mode and no encoding is specified.
See Encodings.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the internal string, if conversion is specified, or nil otherwise.

Reads at most maxlen bytes from ios using the read(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
read_nonblock just calls the read(2) system call. It causes all errors the read(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The caller should care such errors.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::EAGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying read_nonblock.
read_nonblock causes EOFError on EOF.
On some platforms, such as Windows, non-blocking mode is not supported on IO objects other than sockets. In such cases, Errno::EBADF will be raised.
If the read byte buffer is not empty, read_nonblock reads from the buffer like readpartial. In this case, the read(2) system call is not called.
When read_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitReadable, read_nonblock should not be called until io is readable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
# emulates blocking read (readpartial). begin result = io.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io]) retry end
Although IO#read_nonblock doesn’t raise IO::WaitWritable. OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock can raise IO::WaitWritable. If IO and SSL should be used polymorphically, IO::WaitWritable should be rescued too. See the document of OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock for sample code.
Note that this method is identical to readpartial except the non-blocking flag is set.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that read_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead. At EOF, it will return nil instead of raising EOFError.
Writes the given string to ios using the write(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
It returns the number of bytes written.
write_nonblock just calls the write(2) system call. It causes all errors the write(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The result may also be smaller than string.length (partial write). The caller should care such errors and partial write.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::EAGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable. So IO::WaitWritable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying write_nonblock.
# Creates a pipe. r, w = IO.pipe # write_nonblock writes only 65536 bytes and return 65536. # (The pipe size is 65536 bytes on this environment.) s = "a" * 100000 p w.write_nonblock(s) #=> 65536 # write_nonblock cannot write a byte and raise EWOULDBLOCK (EAGAIN). p w.write_nonblock("b") # Resource temporarily unavailable (Errno::EAGAIN)
If the write buffer is not empty, it is flushed at first.
When write_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitWritable, write_nonblock should not be called until io is writable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
begin result = io.write_nonblock(string) rescue IO::WaitWritable, Errno::EINTR IO.select(nil, [io]) retry end
Note that this doesn’t guarantee to write all data in string. The length written is reported as result and it should be checked later.
On some platforms such as Windows, write_nonblock is not supported according to the kind of the IO object. In such cases, write_nonblock raises Errno::EBADF.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that write_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.
Returns object if it is a regexp:
Regexp.try_convert(/re/) # => /re/
Otherwise if object responds to :to_regexp, calls object.to_regexp and returns the result.
Returns nil if object does not respond to :to_regexp.
Regexp.try_convert('re') # => nil
Raises an exception unless object.to_regexp returns a regexp.
Clone internal hash.
Returns true if the set is a proper subset of the given set.
This method is called when the parser found syntax error.
Receives up to maxlen bytes from socket using recvfrom(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. flags is zero or more of the MSG_ options. The first element of the results, mesg, is the data received. The second element, sender_addrinfo, contains protocol-specific address information of the sender.
When recvfrom(2) returns 0, Socket#recvfrom_nonblock returns an empty string as data. The meaning depends on the socket: EOF on TCP, empty packet on UDP, etc.
maxlen - the maximum number of bytes to receive from the socket
flags - zero or more of the MSG_ options
outbuf - destination String buffer
opts - keyword hash, supporting ‘exception: false`

Accepts an incoming connection using accept(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. It returns an array containing the accepted socket for the incoming connection, client_socket, and an Addrinfo, client_addrinfo.

By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that accept_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead.
yield socket and client address for each a connection accepted via given sockets.
The arguments are a list of sockets. The individual argument should be a socket or an array of sockets.
This method yields the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.

Refer to Socket#connect for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to connect_nonblock fails.

By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that connect_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.
