IO::Buffer is a efficient zero-copy buffer for input/output. There are typical use cases:
-
Create an empty buffer with
::new, fill it with buffer usingcopyorset_value,set_string, get buffer withget_stringor write it directly to some file withwrite. -
Create a buffer mapped to some string with
::for, then it could be used both for reading withget_stringorget_value, and writing (writing will change the source string, too). -
Create a buffer mapped to some file with
::map, then it could be used for reading and writing the underlying file. -
Create a string of a fixed size with
::string, thenreadinto it, or modify it usingset_value.
Interaction with string and file memory is performed by efficient low-level C mechanisms like ‘memcpy`.
The class is meant to be an utility for implementing more high-level mechanisms like Fiber::Scheduler#io_read and Fiber::Scheduler#io_write and parsing binary protocols.
Examples of Usage
Empty buffer:
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(8) # create empty 8-byte buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5d1a5c50+8 INTERNAL> # ... buffer # => # <IO::Buffer 0x0000555f5d156ab0+8 INTERNAL> # 0x00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 buffer.set_string('test', 2) # put there bytes of the "test" string, starting from offset 2 # => 4 buffer.get_string # get the result # => "\x00\x00test\x00\x00"
Buffer from string:
string = 'data' IO::Buffer.for(string) do |buffer| buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f3f02be9b18+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 64 61 74 61 data buffer.get_string(2) # read content starting from offset 2 # => "ta" buffer.set_string('---', 1) # write content, starting from offset 1 # => 3 buffer # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f3f02be9b18+4 SLICE> # 0x00000000 64 2d 2d 2d d--- string # original string changed, too # => "d---" end
Buffer from file:
File.write('test.txt', 'test data') # => 9 buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt')) # => # #<IO::Buffer 0x00007f3f0768c000+9 MAPPED IMMUTABLE> # ... buffer.get_string(5, 2) # read 2 bytes, starting from offset 5 # => "da" buffer.set_string('---', 1) # attempt to write # in `set_string': Buffer is not writable! (IO::Buffer::AccessError) # To create writable file-mapped buffer # Open file for read-write, pass size, offset, and flags=0 buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt', 'r+'), 9, 0, 0) buffer.set_string('---', 1) # => 3 -- bytes written File.read('test.txt') # => "t--- data"
The class is experimental and the interface is subject to change, this is especially true of file mappings which may be removed entirely in the future.
The operating system page size. Used for efficient page-aligned memory allocations.
The default buffer size, typically a (small) multiple of the PAGE_SIZE. Can be explicitly specified by setting the RUBY_IO_BUFFER_DEFAULT_SIZE environment variable.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is owned by someone else. See external? for more details.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is owned by the buffer. See internal? for more details.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is mapped by the operating system. See mapped? for more details.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is also mapped such that it can be shared with other processes. See shared? for more details.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is mapped privately and changes won’t be replicated to the underlying file. See private? for more details.
Indicates that the memory in the buffer is read only, and attempts to modify it will fail. See readonly? for more details.
Refers to little endian byte order, where the least significant byte is stored first. See get_value for more details.
Refers to big endian byte order, where the most significant byte is stored first. See get_value for more details.
Refers to the byte order of the host machine. See get_value for more details.
Refers to network byte order, which is the same as big endian. See get_value for more details.

}
}
Creates a zero-copy IO::Buffer from the given string’s memory. Without a block a frozen internal copy of the string is created efficiently and used as the buffer source. When a block is provided, the buffer is associated directly with the string’s internal buffer and updating the buffer will update the string.
Until free is invoked on the buffer, either explicitly or via the garbage collector, the source string will be locked and cannot be modified.
If the string is frozen, it will create a read-only buffer which cannot be modified. If the string is shared, it may trigger a copy-on-write when using the block form.
string = 'test' buffer = IO::Buffer.for(string) buffer.external? #=> true buffer.get_string(0, 1) # => "t" string # => "best" buffer.resize(100) # in `resize': Cannot resize external buffer! (IO::Buffer::AccessError) IO::Buffer.for(string) do |buffer| buffer.set_string("T") string # => "Test" end

Create an IO::Buffer for reading from file by memory-mapping the file. file_io should be a File instance, opened for reading.
Optional size and offset of mapping can be specified.
By default, the buffer would be immutable (read only); to create a writable mapping, you need to open a file in read-write mode, and explicitly pass flags argument without IO::Buffer::IMMUTABLE.
File.write('test.txt', 'test') buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt'), nil, 0, IO::Buffer::READONLY) # => #<IO::Buffer 0x00000001014a0000+4 MAPPED READONLY> buffer.readonly? # => true buffer.get_string # => "test" buffer.set_string('b', 0) # `set_string': Buffer is not writable! (IO::Buffer::AccessError) # create read/write mapping: length 4 bytes, offset 0, flags 0 buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt', 'r+'), 4, 0) buffer.set_string('b', 0) # => 1 # Check it File.read('test.txt') # => "best"

Create a new zero-filled IO::Buffer of size bytes. By default, the buffer will be internal: directly allocated chunk of the memory. But if the requested size is more than OS-specific IO::Buffer::PAGE_SIZE, the buffer would be allocated using the virtual memory mechanism (anonymous mmap on Unix, VirtualAlloc on Windows). The behavior can be forced by passing IO::Buffer::MAPPED as a second parameter.

copy can be used to put buffer into strings associated with buffer:
string= "data: " # => "data: " buffer = IO::Buffer.for(string) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 5) # => 4 string # => "data:test"
Attempt to copy into a read-only buffer will fail:
File.write('test.txt', 'test') buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt'), nil, 0, IO::Buffer::READONLY) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("test"), 8) # in `copy': Buffer is not writable! (IO::Buffer::AccessError)
See ::map for details of creation of mutable file mappings, this will work:
buffer = IO::Buffer.map(File.open('test.txt', 'r+')) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for("boom"), 0) # => 4 File.read('test.txt') # => "boom"
Attempt to copy the buffer which will need place outside of buffer’s bounds will fail:
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(2) buffer.copy(IO::Buffer.for('test'), 0) # in `copy': Specified offset+length is bigger than the buffer size! (ArgumentError)

If the buffer is internal, meaning it references memory allocated by the buffer itself.
An internal buffer is not associated with any external memory (e.g. string) or file mapping.
Internal buffers are created using ::new and is the default when the requested size is less than the IO::Buffer::PAGE_SIZE and it was not requested to be mapped on creation.
Internal buffers can be resized, and such an operation will typically invalidate all slices, but not always.

Allows to process a buffer in exclusive way, for concurrency-safety. While the block is performed, the buffer is considered locked, and no other code can enter the lock. Also, locked buffer can’t be changed with resize or free.
The following operations acquire a lock: resize, free.
Locking is not thread safe. It is designed as a safety net around non-blocking system calls. You can only share a buffer between threads with appropriate synchronisation techniques.
buffer = IO::Buffer.new(4) buffer.locked? #=> false Fiber.schedule do buffer.locked do buffer.write(io) # theoretical system call interface end end Fiber.schedule do # in `locked': Buffer already locked! (IO::Buffer::LockedError) buffer.locked do buffer.set_string("test", 0) end end

If the buffer is locked, meaning it is inside locked block execution. Locked buffer can’t be resized or freed, and another lock can’t be acquired on it.
Locking is not thread safe, but is a semantic used to ensure buffers don’t move while being used by a system call.

Mapped buffers are either anonymous, if created by ::new with the IO::Buffer::MAPPED flag or if the size was at least IO::Buffer::PAGE_SIZE, or backed by a file if created with ::map.
Mapped buffers can usually be resized, and such an operation will typically invalidate all slices, but not always.

Produce another IO::Buffer which is a slice (or view into) the current one starting at offset bytes and going for length bytes.
The slicing happens without copying of memory, and the slice keeps being associated with the original buffer’s source (string, or file), if any.
If the offset is not given, it will be zero. If the offset is negative, it will raise an ArgumentError.
If the length is not given, the slice will be as long as the original buffer minus the specified offset. If the length is negative, it will raise an ArgumentError.
Raises RuntimeError if the offset+length is out of the current buffer’s bounds.

Returns an array of values of buffer_type starting from offset.
If count is given, only count values will be returned.

}
Write at least length bytes from the buffer starting at offset, into the io. If an error occurs, return -errno.
If length is not given or nil, it defaults to the size of the buffer minus the offset, i.e. the entire buffer.
If length is zero, exactly one write operation will occur.
If offset is not given, it defaults to zero, i.e. the beginning of the buffer.
out = File.open('output.txt', 'wb') IO::Buffer.for('1234567').write(out, 3)
This leads to 123 being written into output.txt
