Reads and returns the next byte (in range 0..255) from the stream; returns nil if already at end-of-stream. See Byte IO.
f = File.open('t.txt') f.getbyte # => 70 f.close f = File.open('t.rus') f.getbyte # => 209 f.close

Reads and returns the next byte (in range 0..255) from the stream; raises EOFError if already at end-of-stream. See Byte IO.
f = File.open('t.txt') f.readbyte # => 70 f.close f = File.open('t.rus') f.readbyte # => 209 f.close
Related: IO#getbyte (will not raise EOFError).
Pushes back (“unshifts”) the given data onto the stream’s buffer, placing the data so that it is next to be read; returns nil. See Byte IO.
Note that:
Calling the method has no effect with unbuffered reads (such as IO#sysread).
Calling rewind on the stream discards the pushed-back data.
When argument integer is given, uses only its low-order byte:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetbyte(0x41) # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetbyte(0x4243) # => nil f.read # => "C012" f.close
When argument string is given, uses all bytes:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetbyte('A') # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetbyte('BCDE') # => nil f.read # => "BCDE012" f.close
Use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo instead. This method is deprecated for the following reasons:
The 3rd element of the result is the address family of the first address. The address families of the rest of the addresses are not returned.
Uncommon address representation: 4/16-bytes binary string to represent IPv4/IPv6 address.
gethostbyname() may take a long time and it may block other threads. (GVL cannot be released since gethostbyname() is not thread safe.)
This method uses gethostbyname() function already removed from POSIX.
This method obtains the host information for hostname.
p Socket.gethostbyname("hal") #=> ["localhost", ["hal"], 2, "\x7F\x00\x00\x01"]

Obtains the port number for service_name.

Pushes back (“unshifts”) an 8-bit byte onto the stream; see Byte IO.
Reads and returns the next 8-bit byte from the stream; see Byte IO.
Checks if a given hash is flagged by Module#ruby2_keywords (or Proc#ruby2_keywords). This method is not for casual use; debugging, researching, and some truly necessary cases like serialization of arguments.
ruby2_keywords def foo(*args) Hash.ruby2_keywords_hash?(args.last) end foo(k: 1) #=> true foo({k: 1}) #=> false
Duplicates a given hash and adds a ruby2_keywords flag. This method is not for casual use; debugging, researching, and some truly necessary cases like deserialization of arguments.
h = {k: 1} h = Hash.ruby2_keywords_hash(h) def foo(k: 42) k end foo(*[h]) #=> 1 with neither a warning or an error
Gets the next 8-bit byte (0..255) from ARGF. Returns nil if called at the end of the stream.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.getbyte #=> 102 ARGF.getbyte #=> 111 ARGF.getbyte #=> 111 ARGF.getbyte #=> 10 ARGF.getbyte #=> nil
Reads the next 8-bit byte from ARGF and returns it as an Integer. Raises an EOFError after the last byte of the last file has been read.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.readbyte #=> 102 ARGF.readbyte #=> 111 ARGF.readbyte #=> 111 ARGF.readbyte #=> 10 ARGF.readbyte #=> end of file reached (EOFError)
Marks the proc as passing keywords through a normal argument splat. This should only be called on procs that accept an argument splat (*args) but not explicit keywords or a keyword splat. It marks the proc such that if the proc is called with keyword arguments, the final hash argument is marked with a special flag such that if it is the final element of a normal argument splat to another method call, and that method call does not include explicit keywords or a keyword splat, the final element is interpreted as keywords. In other words, keywords will be passed through the proc to other methods.
This should only be used for procs that delegate keywords to another method, and only for backwards compatibility with Ruby versions before 2.7.
This method will probably be removed at some point, as it exists only for backwards compatibility. As it does not exist in Ruby versions before 2.7, check that the proc responds to this method before calling it. Also, be aware that if this method is removed, the behavior of the proc will change so that it does not pass through keywords.
module Mod foo = ->(meth, *args, &block) do send(:"do_#{meth}", *args, &block) end foo.ruby2_keywords if foo.respond_to?(:ruby2_keywords) end
