Returns any backtrace associated with the exception. This method is similar to Exception#backtrace, but the backtrace is an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location.
This method is not affected by Exception#set_backtrace().
Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.
Internal use only.
Creates instance variables and corresponding methods that return the value of each instance variable. Equivalent to calling “attr:name” on each name in turn. String arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Creates an accessor method to allow assignment to the attribute symbol.id2name. String arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Checks for a constant with the given name in mod. If inherit is set, the lookup will also search the ancestors (and Object if mod is a Module).
The value of the constant is returned if a definition is found, otherwise a NameError is raised.
Math.const_get(:PI) #=> 3.14159265358979
This method will recursively look up constant names if a namespaced class name is provided. For example:
module Foo; class Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Bar'
The inherit flag is respected on each lookup. For example:
module Foo class Bar VAL = 10 end class Baz < Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL' # => 10 Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL', false # => NameError
If the argument is not a valid constant name a NameError will be raised with a warning “wrong constant name”.
Object.const_get 'foobar' #=> NameError: wrong constant name foobar
Create an HTTP header block as a string.
Includes the empty line that ends the header block.
content_type_string
If this form is used, this string is the Content-Type
headers_hash
A Hash of header values. The following header keys are recognized:
The Content-Type header. Defaults to “text/html”
The charset of the body, appended to the Content-Type header.
A boolean value. If true, prepend protocol string and status code, and date; and sets default values for “server” and “connection” if not explicitly set.
The HTTP status code as a String, returned as the Status header. The values are:
200 OK
206 Partial Content
300 Multiple Choices
301 Moved Permanently
302 Found
304 Not Modified
400 Bad Request
401 Authorization Required
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
406 Not Acceptable
411 Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
500 Internal Server Error
501 Method Not Implemented
502 Bad Gateway
506 Variant Also Negotiates
The server software, returned as the Server header.
The connection type, returned as the Connection header (for instance, “close”.
The length of the content that will be sent, returned as the Content-Length header.
The language of the content, returned as the Content-Language header.
The time on which the current content expires, as a Time object, returned as the Expires header.
A cookie or cookies, returned as one or more Set-Cookie headers. The value can be the literal string of the cookie; a CGI::Cookie object; an Array of literal cookie strings or Cookie objects; or a hash all of whose values are literal cookie strings or Cookie objects.
These cookies are in addition to the cookies held in the @output_cookies field.
Other headers can also be set; they are appended as key: value.
Examples:
http_header # Content-Type: text/html http_header("text/plain") # Content-Type: text/plain http_header("nph" => true, "status" => "OK", # == "200 OK" # "status" => "200 GOOD", "server" => ENV['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "connection" => "close", "type" => "text/html", "charset" => "iso-2022-jp", # Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp "length" => 103, "language" => "ja", "expires" => Time.now + 30, "cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2], "my_header1" => "my_value", "my_header2" => "my_value")
This method does not perform charset conversion.
Returns true if the arguments define a valid commercial date, false otherwise:
Date.valid_commercial?(2001, 5, 6) # => true Date.valid_commercial?(2001, 5, 8) # => false

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

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.
With a block given, passes each element of self to the block in reverse order:
a = [] (1..4).reverse_each {|element| a.push(element) } # => 1..4 a # => [4, 3, 2, 1] a = [] (1...4).reverse_each {|element| a.push(element) } # => 1...4 a # => [3, 2, 1]
With no block given, returns an enumerator.
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#recv_nonblock returns nil. In most cases it means the connection was closed, but for UDP connections it may mean an empty packet was received, as the underlying API makes it impossible to distinguish these two cases.
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`
# In one file, start this first require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(2200, 'localhost') socket.bind(sockaddr) socket.listen(5) client, client_addrinfo = socket.accept begin # emulate blocking recvfrom pair = client.recvfrom_nonblock(20) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([client]) retry end data = pair[0].chomp puts "I only received 20 bytes '#{data}'" sleep 1 socket.close # In another file, start this second require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(2200, 'localhost') socket.connect(sockaddr) socket.puts "Watch this get cut short!" socket.close
Refer to Socket#recvfrom for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to recvfrom_nonblock fails.
Socket#recvfrom_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to recvfrom(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
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 recvfrom_nonblock.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that recvfrom_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead.
