returns a list of addrinfo objects as an array.
This method converts nodename (hostname) and service (port) to addrinfo. Since the conversion is not unique, the result is a list of addrinfo objects.
nodename or service can be nil if no conversion intended.
family, socktype and protocol are hint for preferred protocol. If the result will be used for a socket with SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_STREAM should be specified as socktype. If so, Addrinfo.getaddrinfo returns addrinfo list appropriate for SOCK_STREAM. If they are omitted or nil is given, the result is not restricted.
Similarly, PF_INET6 as family restricts for IPv6.
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::AI_??? constants such as follows. Note that the exact list of the constants depends on OS.
AI_PASSIVE Get address to use with bind() AI_CANONNAME Fill in the canonical name AI_NUMERICHOST Prevent host name resolution AI_NUMERICSERV Prevent service name resolution AI_V4MAPPED Accept IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses AI_ALL Allow all addresses AI_ADDRCONFIG Accept only if any address is assigned
Note that socktype should be specified whenever application knows the usage of the address. Some platform causes an error when socktype is omitted and servname is specified as an integer because some port numbers, 512 for example, are ambiguous without socktype.
Addrinfo.getaddrinfo("www.kame.net", 80, nil, :STREAM) #=> [#<Addrinfo: 203.178.141.194:80 TCP (www.kame.net)>, # #<Addrinfo: [2001:200:dff:fff1:216:3eff:feb1:44d7]:80 TCP (www.kame.net)>]
Returns underlying string:
StringIO.open('foo') do |strio| p strio.string strio.string = 'bar' p strio.string end
Output:
"foo" "bar"
Related: StringIO#string= (assigns the underlying string).
Assigns the underlying string as other_string, and sets position to zero; returns other_string:
StringIO.open('foo') do |strio| p strio.string strio.string = 'bar' p strio.string end
Output:
"foo" "bar"
Related: StringIO#string (returns the underlying string).
Appends the given string to the underlying buffer string. The stream must be opened for writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a string using to_s. Returns the number of bytes written. See IO#write.
Returns the [stored string]:
scanner = StringScanner.new('foobar') scanner.string # => "foobar" scanner.concat('baz') scanner.string # => "foobarbaz"
Replaces the [stored string] with the given other_string:
Sets both [positions] to zero.
Clears [match values].
Returns other_string.
scanner = StringScanner.new('foobar') scanner.scan(/foo/) put_situation(scanner) # Situation: # pos: 3 # charpos: 3 # rest: "bar" # rest_size: 3 match_values_cleared?(scanner) # => false scanner.string = 'baz' # => "baz" put_situation(scanner) # Situation: # pos: 0 # charpos: 0 # rest: "baz" # rest_size: 3 match_values_cleared?(scanner) # => true
Returns the array of [captured match values] at indexes (1..) if the most recent match attempt succeeded, or nil otherwise:
scanner = StringScanner.new('Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39') scanner.captures # => nil scanner.exist?(/(?<wday>\w+) (?<month>\w+) (?<day>\d+) /) scanner.captures # => ["Fri", "Dec", "12"] scanner.values_at(*0..4) # => ["Fri Dec 12 ", "Fri", "Dec", "12", nil] scanner.exist?(/Fri/) scanner.captures # => [] scanner.scan(/nope/) scanner.captures # => nil
Writes each of the given objects if inplace mode.
Writes the given objects to the stream; returns nil. Appends the output record separator $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR ($\), if it is not nil. See Line IO.
With argument objects given, for each object:
Converts via its method to_s if not a string.
Writes to the stream.
If not the last object, writes the output field separator $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR ($,) if it is not nil.
With default separators:
f = File.open('t.tmp', 'w+') objects = [0, 0.0, Rational(0, 1), Complex(0, 0), :zero, 'zero'] p $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR p $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR f.print(*objects) f.rewind p f.read f.close
Output:
nil nil "00.00/10+0izerozero"
With specified separators:
$\ = "\n" $, = ',' f.rewind f.print(*objects) f.rewind p f.read
Output:
"0,0.0,0/1,0+0i,zero,zero\n"
With no argument given, writes the content of $_ (which is usually the most recent user input):
f = File.open('t.tmp', 'w+') gets # Sets $_ to the most recent user input. f.print f.close
Formats and writes objects to the stream.
For details on format_string, see Format Specifications.
Returns true if the ipaddr is a private address. IPv4 addresses in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 as defined in RFC 1918 and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses in fc00::/7 as defined in RFC 4193 are considered private. Private IPv4 addresses in the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address range are also considered private.
Puts option summary into to and returns to. Yields each line if a block is given.
to
Output destination, which must have method <<. Defaults to [].
width
Width of left side, defaults to @summary_width.
max
Maximum length allowed for left side, defaults to width - 1.
indent
Indentation, defaults to @summary_indent.
Returns the array of captures, which are all matches except m[0]:
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138.") # => #<MatchData "HX1138" 1:"H" 2:"X" 3:"113" 4:"8"> m[0] # => "HX1138" m.captures # => ["H", "X", "113", "8"]
Related: MatchData.to_a.
Returns the target string if it was frozen; otherwise, returns a frozen copy of the target string:
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138.") # => #<MatchData "HX1138" 1:"H" 2:"X" 3:"113" 4:"8"> m.string # => "THX1138."
Returns the number of mandatory arguments. If the block is declared to take no arguments, returns 0. If the block is known to take exactly n arguments, returns n. If the block has optional arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of mandatory arguments, with the exception for blocks that are not lambdas and have only a finite number of optional arguments; in this latter case, returns n. Keyword arguments will be considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. A proc with no argument declarations is the same as a block declaring || as its arguments.
proc {}.arity #=> 0 proc { || }.arity #=> 0 proc { |a| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |a, b| }.arity #=> 2 proc { |a, b, c| }.arity #=> 3 proc { |*a| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, *b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, *b, c| }.arity #=> -3 proc { |x:, y:, z:0| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |*a, x:, y:0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |a=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a=0, b| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a=0, b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a=0, b=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |a=0, b=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, b=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, b=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |(a, b), c=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |(a, b), c=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> -2
Returns a curried proc. If the optional arity argument is given, it determines the number of arguments. A curried proc receives some arguments. If a sufficient number of arguments are supplied, it passes the supplied arguments to the original proc and returns the result. Otherwise, returns another curried proc that takes the rest of arguments.
The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying procs with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the proc is called.
b = proc {|x, y, z| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 6 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 6 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 6 p b.curry(1)[1] #=> 1 b = proc {|x, y, z, *w| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) + w.inject(0, &:+) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 10 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(1)[1] #=> 1 b = lambda {|x, y, z| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> wrong number of arguments (given 4, expected 3) p b.curry(5) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 5, expected 3) p b.curry(1) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 3) b = lambda {|x, y, z, *w| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) + w.inject(0, &:+) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 10 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(1) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 3) b = proc { :foo } p b.curry[] #=> :foo
Returns a curried proc based on the method. When the proc is called with a number of arguments that is lower than the method’s arity, then another curried proc is returned. Only when enough arguments have been supplied to satisfy the method signature, will the method actually be called.
The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying methods with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the method is called.
def foo(a,b,c) [a, b, c] end proc = self.method(:foo).curry proc2 = proc.call(1, 2) #=> #<Proc> proc2.call(3) #=> [1,2,3] def vararg(*args) args end proc = self.method(:vararg).curry(4) proc2 = proc.call(:x) #=> #<Proc> proc3 = proc2.call(:y, :z) #=> #<Proc> proc3.call(:a) #=> [:x, :y, :z, :a]
Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. Keyword arguments will be considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.
class C def one; end def two(a); end def three(*a); end def four(a, b); end def five(a, b, *c); end def six(a, b, *c, &d); end def seven(a, b, x:0); end def eight(x:, y:); end def nine(x:, y:, **z); end def ten(*a, x:, y:); end end c = C.new c.method(:one).arity #=> 0 c.method(:two).arity #=> 1 c.method(:three).arity #=> -1 c.method(:four).arity #=> 2 c.method(:five).arity #=> -3 c.method(:six).arity #=> -3 c.method(:seven).arity #=> -3 c.method(:eight).arity #=> 1 c.method(:nine).arity #=> 1 c.method(:ten).arity #=> -2 "cat".method(:size).arity #=> 0 "cat".method(:replace).arity #=> 1 "cat".method(:squeeze).arity #=> -1 "cat".method(:count).arity #=> -1

Returns a string, using platform providing features. Returned value is expected to be a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number in binary form. This method raises a RuntimeError if the feature provided by platform failed to prepare the result.
In 2017, Linux manpage random(7) writes that “no cryptographic primitive available today can hope to promise more than 256 bits of security”. So it might be questionable to pass size > 32 to this method.

Equivalent to:
io.write(sprintf(format_string, *objects))
For details on format_string, see Format Specifications.
With the single argument format_string, formats objects into the string, then writes the formatted string to $stdout:
printf('%4.4d %10s %2.2f', 24, 24, 24.0)
Output (on $stdout):
0024 24 24.00#
With arguments io and format_string, formats objects into the string, then writes the formatted string to io:
printf($stderr, '%4.4d %10s %2.2f', 24, 24, 24.0)
Output (on $stderr):
0024 24 24.00# => nil
With no arguments, does nothing.
Equivalent to $stdout.print(*objects), this method is the straightforward way to write to $stdout.
Writes the given objects to $stdout; returns nil. Appends the output record separator $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR $\), if it is not nil.
With argument objects given, for each object:
Converts via its method to_s if not a string.
Writes to stdout.
If not the last object, writes the output field separator $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR ($, if it is not nil.
With default separators:
objects = [0, 0.0, Rational(0, 1), Complex(0, 0), :zero, 'zero'] $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR print(*objects)
Output:
nil nil 00.00/10+0izerozero
With specified separators:
$OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR = "\n" $OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ',' print(*objects)
Output:
0,0.0,0/1,0+0i,zero,zero
With no argument given, writes the content of $_ (which is usually the most recent user input):
gets # Sets $_ to the most recent user input. print # Prints $_.
Returns the string resulting from formatting objects into format_string.
