Receives up to maxlen bytes from socket. 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.
maxlen - the maximum number of bytes to receive from the socket
flags - zero or more of the MSG_ options

On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to recvfrom fails:
Errno::EAGAIN - the socket file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK and no data is waiting to be received; or MSG_OOB is set and no out-of-band data is available and either the socket file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK or the socket does not support blocking to wait for out-of-band-data
Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - see Errno::EAGAIN
Errno::EBADF - the socket is not a valid file descriptor
Errno::ECONNRESET - a connection was forcibly closed by a peer
Errno::EFAULT - the socket’s internal buffer, address or address length cannot be accessed or written
Errno::EINTR - a signal interrupted recvfrom before any data was available
Errno::EINVAL - the MSG_OOB flag is set and no out-of-band data is available
Errno::EIO - an i/o error occurred while reading from or writing to the filesystem
Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the operation
Errno::ENOMEM - insufficient memory was available to fulfill the request
Errno::ENOSR - there were insufficient STREAMS resources available to complete the operation
Errno::ENOTCONN - a receive is attempted on a connection-mode socket that is not connected
Errno::ENOTSOCK - the socket does not refer to a socket
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the specified flags are not supported for this socket type
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection timed out during connection establishment or due to a transmission timeout on an active connection
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to recvfrom fails:
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
Errno::EFAULT - the internal buffer and from parameters on socket are not part of the user address space, or the internal fromlen parameter is too small to accommodate the peer address
Errno::EINTR - the (blocking) call was cancelled by an internal call to the WinSock function WSACancelBlockingCall
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a blocking Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
Errno::EINVAL - socket has not been bound with a call to bind, or an unknown flag was specified, or MSG_OOB was specified for a socket with SO_OOBINLINE enabled, or (for byte stream-style sockets only) the internal len parameter on socket was zero or negative
Errno::EISCONN - socket is already connected. The call to recvfrom is not permitted with a connected socket on a socket that is connection oriented or connectionless.
Errno::ENETRESET - the connection has been broken due to the keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - MSG_OOB was specified, but socket is not stream-style such as type SOCK_STREAM. OOB data is not supported in the communication domain associated with socket, or socket is unidirectional and supports only send operations
Errno::ESHUTDOWN - socket has been shutdown. It is not possible to call recvfrom on a socket after shutdown has been invoked.
Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - socket is marked as nonblocking and a call to recvfrom would block.
Errno::EMSGSIZE - the message was too large to fit into the specified buffer and was truncated.
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection has been dropped, because of a network failure or because the system on the other end went down without notice
Errno::ECONNRESET - the virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a hard or abortive close. The application should close the socket; it is no longer usable. On a UDP-datagram socket this error indicates a previous send operation resulted in an ICMP Port Unreachable message.
Returns the user and group on the peer of the UNIX socket. The result is a two element array which contains the effective uid and the effective gid.
Socket.unix_server_loop("/tmp/sock") {|s| begin euid, egid = s.getpeereid # Check the connected client is myself or not. next if euid != Process.uid # do something about my resource. ensure s.close end }
Receives a message.
maxlen is the maximum number of bytes to receive.
flags should be a bitwise OR of Socket::MSG_* constants.
outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
UNIXSocket.pair {|s1, s2| s1.puts "Hello World" p s2.recv(4) #=> "Hell" p s2.recv(4, Socket::MSG_PEEK) #=> "o Wo" p s2.recv(4) #=> "o Wo" p s2.recv(10) #=> "rld\n" }
recvmsg receives a message using recvmsg(2) system call in blocking manner.
maxmesglen is the maximum length of mesg to receive.
flags is bitwise OR of MSG_* constants such as Socket::MSG_PEEK.
maxcontrollen is the maximum length of controls (ancillary data) to receive.
opts is option hash. Currently :scm_rights=>bool is the only option.
:scm_rights option specifies that application expects SCM_RIGHTS control message. If the value is nil or false, application don’t expects SCM_RIGHTS control message. In this case, recvmsg closes the passed file descriptors immediately. This is the default behavior.
If :scm_rights value is neither nil nor false, application expects SCM_RIGHTS control message. In this case, recvmsg creates IO objects for each file descriptors for Socket::AncillaryData#unix_rights method.
The return value is 4-elements array.
mesg is a string of the received message.
sender_addrinfo is a sender socket address for connection-less socket. It is an Addrinfo object. For connection-oriented socket such as TCP, sender_addrinfo is platform dependent.
rflags is a flags on the received message which is bitwise OR of MSG_* constants such as Socket::MSG_TRUNC. It will be nil if the system uses 4.3BSD style old recvmsg system call.
controls is ancillary data which is an array of Socket::AncillaryData objects such as:
#<Socket::AncillaryData: AF_UNIX SOCKET RIGHTS 7>
maxmesglen and maxcontrollen can be nil. In that case, the buffer will be grown until the message is not truncated. Internally, MSG_PEEK is used. Buffer full and MSG_CTRUNC are checked for truncation.
recvmsg can be used to implement recv_io as follows:
mesg, sender_sockaddr, rflags, *controls = sock.recvmsg(:scm_rights=>true) controls.each {|ancdata| if ancdata.cmsg_is?(:SOCKET, :RIGHTS) return ancdata.unix_rights[0] end }
Receives a message and return the message as a string and an address which the message come from.
maxlen is the maximum number of bytes to receive.
flags should be a bitwise OR of Socket::MSG_* constants.
ipaddr is the same as IPSocket#{peeraddr,addr}.
u1 = UDPSocket.new u1.bind("127.0.0.1", 4913) u2 = UDPSocket.new u2.send "uuuu", 0, "127.0.0.1", 4913 p u1.recvfrom(10) #=> ["uuuu", ["AF_INET", 33230, "localhost", "127.0.0.1"]]
Lookups the IP address of host.
require 'socket' IPSocket.getaddress("localhost") #=> "127.0.0.1" IPSocket.getaddress("ip6-localhost") #=> "::1"
iterates over the list of Addrinfo objects obtained by Addrinfo.getaddrinfo.
Addrinfo.foreach(nil, 80) {|x| p x } #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 TCP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 UDP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 TCP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 UDP (:80)>
Receives a message via unixsocket.
maxlen is the maximum number of bytes to receive.
flags should be a bitwise OR of Socket::MSG_* constants.
outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
s1 = Socket.new(:UNIX, :DGRAM, 0) s1_ai = Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock1") s1.bind(s1_ai) s2 = Socket.new(:UNIX, :DGRAM, 0) s2_ai = Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock2") s2.bind(s2_ai) s3 = UNIXSocket.for_fd(s2.fileno) s1.send "a", 0, s2_ai p s3.recvfrom(10) #=> ["a", ["AF_UNIX", "/tmp/sock1"]]
Reinitializes the stream with the given other (string or StringIO) and mode; see IO.new:
StringIO.open('foo') do |strio| p strio.string strio.reopen('bar') p strio.string other_strio = StringIO.new('baz') strio.reopen(other_strio) p strio.string other_strio.close end
Output:
"foo" "bar" "baz"
Sets the data mode in self to binary mode; see Data Mode.
Sets the current position and line number to zero; see Position and Line Number.
See IO#read.
See IO#pread.
Sets both [byte position] and [character position] to zero, and clears [match values]; returns self:
scanner = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz') scanner.exist?(/bar/) # => 6 scanner.reset # => #<StringScanner 0/9 @ "fooba..."> put_situation(scanner) # Situation: # pos: 0 # charpos: 0 # rest: "foobarbaz" # rest_size: 9 # => nil 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
Rebuilds the hash table for self by recomputing the hash index for each key; returns self. Calling this method ensures that the hash table is valid.
The hash table becomes invalid if the hash value of a key has changed after the entry was created. See Modifying an Active Hash Key.
Returns true if there are no hash entries, false otherwise:
{}.empty? # => true
{foo: 0}.empty? # => false

With a block given, returns a copy of self with zero or more entries removed; calls the block with each key-value pair; excludes the entry in the copy if the block returns a truthy value, includes it otherwise:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.reject {|key, value| key.start_with?('b') } # => {foo: 0}
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.

With a block given, calls the block with each entry’s key and value; removes the entry from self if the block returns a truthy value.
Return self if any entries were removed, nil otherwise:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.reject! {|key, value| value < 2 } # => {baz: 2} h.reject! {|key, value| value < 2 } # => nil
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.
Related: see Methods for Deleting.
Returns a new hash with each key-value pair inverted:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = h.invert h1 # => {0=>:foo, 1=>:bar, 2=>:baz}
Overwrites any repeated new keys (see Entry Order):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 0, baz: 0} h.invert # => {0=>:baz}
