class Socket
Class
Socket
provides access to the underlying operating system socket implementations. It can be used to provide more operating system specific functionality than the protocol-specific socket classes.
The constants defined under Socket::Constants are also defined under Socket
. For example, Socket::AF_INET is usable as well as Socket::Constants::AF_INET. See Socket::Constants for the list of constants.
What’s a socket?¶ ↑
Sockets are endpoints of a bidirectional communication channel. Sockets can communicate within a process, between processes on the same machine or between different machines. There are many types of socket: TCPSocket
, UDPSocket
or UNIXSocket
for example.
Sockets have their own vocabulary:
domain: The family of protocols:
-
Socket::PF_INET
-
Socket::PF_INET6
-
Socket::PF_UNIX
-
etc.
type: The type of communications between the two endpoints, typically
-
Socket::SOCK_STREAM
-
Socket::SOCK_DGRAM.
protocol: Typically zero. This may be used to identify a variant of a protocol.
hostname: The identifier of a network interface:
-
a string (hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address or
broadcast
which specifies a broadcast address) -
a zero-length string which specifies INADDR_ANY
-
an integer (interpreted as binary address in host byte order).
Quick start¶ ↑
Many of the classes, such as TCPSocket
, UDPSocket
or UNIXSocket
, ease the use of sockets comparatively to the equivalent C programming interface.
Let’s create an internet socket using the IPv4 protocol in a C-like manner:
require 'socket' s = Socket.new Socket::AF_INET, Socket::SOCK_STREAM s.connect Socket.pack_sockaddr_in(80, 'example.com')
You could also use the TCPSocket
class:
s = TCPSocket.new 'example.com', 80
A simple server might look like this:
require 'socket' server = TCPServer.new 2000 # Server bound to port 2000 loop do client = server.accept # Wait for a client to connect client.puts "Hello !" client.puts "Time is #{Time.now}" client.close end
A simple client may look like this:
require 'socket' s = TCPSocket.new 'localhost', 2000 while line = s.gets # Read lines from socket puts line # and print them end s.close # close socket when done
Exception
Handling¶ ↑
Ruby’s Socket
implementation raises exceptions based on the error generated by the system dependent implementation. This is why the methods are documented in a way that isolate Unix-based system exceptions from Windows based exceptions. If more information on a particular exception is needed, please refer to the Unix manual pages or the Windows WinSock reference.
Convenience methods¶ ↑
Although the general way to create socket is Socket.new
, there are several methods of socket creation for most cases.
- TCP client socket
- TCP server socket
- UNIX client socket
- UNIX server socket

Attributes
Public Class Methods
yield socket and client address for each a connection accepted via given sockets.
The arguments are a list of sockets. The individual argument should be a socket or an array of sockets.
This method yields the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1212 def self.accept_loop(*sockets) # :yield: socket, client_addrinfo sockets.flatten!(1) if sockets.empty? raise ArgumentError, "no sockets" end loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) readable.each {|r| sock, addr = r.accept_nonblock(exception: false) next if sock == :wait_readable yield sock, addr } } end
Obtains address information for nodename:servname.
Note that Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
provides the same functionality in an object oriented style.
family should be an address family such as: :INET, :INET6, etc.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the family, and defaults to 0 for the family.
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::AI_* constants.
Socket.getaddrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", "http", nil, :STREAM) #=> [["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68", 2, 1, 6]] # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP Socket.getaddrinfo("localhost", nil) #=> [["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 1, 6], # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 2, 17], # PF_INET/SOCK_DGRAM/IPPROTO_UDP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 3, 0]] # PF_INET/SOCK_RAW/IPPROTO_IP
reverse_lookup directs the form of the third element, and has to be one of below. If reverse_lookup is omitted, the default value is nil
.
+true+, +:hostname+: hostname is obtained from numeric address using reverse lookup, which may take a time. +false+, +:numeric+: hostname is the same as numeric address. +nil+: obey to the current +do_not_reverse_lookup+ flag.
If Addrinfo
object is preferred, use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
.

Use Addrinfo#getnameinfo
instead. This method is deprecated for the following reasons:
-
Uncommon address representation: 4/16-bytes binary string to represent IPv4/IPv6 address.
-
gethostbyaddr() 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 address.

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"]
static VALUE sock_s_gethostbyname(VALUE obj, VALUE host) { rb_warn("Socket.gethostbyname is deprecated; use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo instead."); struct rb_addrinfo *res = rsock_addrinfo(host, Qnil, AF_UNSPEC, SOCK_STREAM, AI_CANONNAME); return rsock_make_hostent(host, res, sock_sockaddr); }
Returns the hostname.
p Socket.gethostname #=> "hal"
Note that it is not guaranteed to be able to convert to IP address using gethostbyname, getaddrinfo, etc. If you need local IP address, use Socket.ip_address_list
.
static VALUE sock_gethostname(VALUE obj) { #if defined(NI_MAXHOST) # define RUBY_MAX_HOST_NAME_LEN NI_MAXHOST #elif defined(HOST_NAME_MAX) # define RUBY_MAX_HOST_NAME_LEN HOST_NAME_MAX #else # define RUBY_MAX_HOST_NAME_LEN 1024 #endif long len = RUBY_MAX_HOST_NAME_LEN; VALUE name; name = rb_str_new(0, len); while (gethostname(RSTRING_PTR(name), len) < 0) { int e = errno; switch (e) { case ENAMETOOLONG: #ifdef __linux__ case EINVAL: /* glibc before version 2.1 uses EINVAL instead of ENAMETOOLONG */ #endif break; default: rb_syserr_fail(e, "gethostname(3)"); } rb_str_modify_expand(name, len); len += len; } rb_str_resize(name, strlen(RSTRING_PTR(name))); return name; }
Returns an array of interface addresses. An element of the array is an instance of Socket::Ifaddr
.
This method can be used to find multicast-enabled interfaces:

creates a new socket object connected to host:port using TCP/IP.
If local_host:local_port is given, the socket is bound to it.
The optional last argument opts is options represented by a hash. opts may have following options:
- :resolv_timeout
-
specify the timeout of hostname resolution in seconds.
- :connect_timeout
-
specify the timeout of conncetion in seconds.
- :fast_fallback
-
enable Happy Eyeballs Version 2 (RFC 8305) algorithm (Enabled by default).
If a block is given, the block is called with the socket. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If no block is given, the socket is returned.

creates a TCP/IP server on port and calls the block for each connection accepted. The block is called with a socket and a client_address as an Addrinfo
object.
If host is specified, it is used with port to determine the server addresses.
The socket is not closed when the block returns. So application should close it explicitly.
This method calls the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
Note that Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
is used to determine the server socket addresses. When Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
returns two or more addresses, IPv4 and IPv6 address for example, all of them are used. Socket.tcp_server_loop
succeeds if one socket can be used at least.

creates TCP/IP server sockets for host and port. host is optional.
If no block given, it returns an array of listening sockets.
If a block is given, the block is called with the sockets. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If port is 0, actual port number is chosen dynamically. However all sockets in the result has same port number.

creates a UDP/IP server on port and calls the block for each message arrived. The block is called with the message and its source information.
This method allocates sockets internally using port. If host is specified, it is used conjunction with port to determine the server addresses.
The msg is a string.
The msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource
object. It is used for reply.
# UDP/IP echo server. Socket.udp_server_loop(9261) {|msg, msg_src| msg_src.reply msg }
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1438 def self.udp_server_loop(host=nil, port, &b) # :yield: message, message_source udp_server_sockets(host, port) {|sockets| udp_server_loop_on(sockets, &b) } end
Run UDP/IP server loop on the given sockets.
The return value of Socket.udp_server_sockets
is appropriate for the argument.
It calls the block for each message received.
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1411 def self.udp_server_loop_on(sockets, &b) # :yield: msg, msg_src loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) udp_server_recv(readable, &b) } end
Receive UDP/IP packets from the given sockets. For each packet received, the block is called.
The block receives msg and msg_src. msg is a string which is the payload of the received packet. msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource
object which is used for reply.
Socket.udp_server_loop
can be implemented using this method as follows.
udp_server_sockets(host, port) {|sockets| loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) udp_server_recv(readable) {|msg, msg_src| ... } } }
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1384 def self.udp_server_recv(sockets) sockets.each {|r| msg, sender_addrinfo, _, *controls = r.recvmsg_nonblock(exception: false) next if msg == :wait_readable ai = r.local_address if ai.ipv6? and pktinfo = controls.find {|c| c.cmsg_is?(:IPV6, :PKTINFO) } ai = Addrinfo.udp(pktinfo.ipv6_pktinfo_addr.ip_address, ai.ip_port) yield msg, UDPSource.new(sender_addrinfo, ai) {|reply_msg| r.sendmsg reply_msg, 0, sender_addrinfo, pktinfo } else yield msg, UDPSource.new(sender_addrinfo, ai) {|reply_msg| r.send reply_msg, 0, sender_addrinfo } end } end
Creates UDP/IP sockets for a UDP server.
If no block given, it returns an array of sockets.
If a block is given, the block is called with the sockets. The value of the block is returned. The sockets are closed when this method returns.
If port is zero, some port is chosen. But the chosen port is used for the all sockets.
# UDP/IP echo server Socket.udp_server_sockets(0) {|sockets| p sockets.first.local_address.ip_port #=> 32963 Socket.udp_server_loop_on(sockets) {|msg, msg_src| msg_src.reply msg } }

creates a new socket connected to path using UNIX socket socket.
If a block is given, the block is called with the socket. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If no block is given, the socket is returned.
# talk to /tmp/sock socket. Socket.unix("/tmp/sock") {|sock| t = Thread.new { IO.copy_stream(sock, STDOUT) } IO.copy_stream(STDIN, sock) t.join }
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1488 def self.unix(path) # :yield: socket addr = Addrinfo.unix(path) sock = addr.connect if block_given? begin yield sock ensure sock.close end else sock end end
creates a UNIX socket server on path. It calls the block for each socket accepted.
If host is specified, it is used with port to determine the server ports.
The socket is not closed when the block returns. So application should close it.
This method deletes the socket file pointed by path at first if the file is a socket file and it is owned by the user of the application. This is safe only if the directory of path is not changed by a malicious user. So don’t use /tmp/malicious-users-directory/socket. Note that /tmp/socket and /tmp/your-private-directory/socket is safe assuming that /tmp has sticky bit.
# Sequential echo server. # It services only one client at a time. Socket.unix_server_loop("/tmp/sock") {|sock, client_addrinfo| begin IO.copy_stream(sock, sock) ensure sock.close end }
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1575 def self.unix_server_loop(path, &b) # :yield: socket, client_addrinfo unix_server_socket(path) {|serv| accept_loop(serv, &b) } end
creates a UNIX server socket on path
If no block given, it returns a listening socket.
If a block is given, it is called with the socket and the block value is returned. When the block exits, the socket is closed and the socket file is removed.
socket = Socket.unix_server_socket("/tmp/s") p socket #=> #<Socket:fd 3> p socket.local_address #=> #<Addrinfo: /tmp/s SOCK_STREAM> Socket.unix_server_socket("/tmp/sock") {|s| p s #=> #<Socket:fd 3> p s.local_address #=> # #<Addrinfo: /tmp/sock SOCK_STREAM> }

Public Instance Methods
Accepts a next connection. Returns a new Socket
object and Addrinfo
object.
serv = Socket.new(:INET, :STREAM, 0) serv.listen(5) c = Socket.new(:INET, :STREAM, 0) c.connect(serv.connect_address) p serv.accept #=> [#<Socket:fd 6>, #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:48555 TCP>]

Accepts an incoming connection using accept(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. It returns an array containing the accepted socket for the incoming connection, client_socket, and an Addrinfo
, client_addrinfo.
Example¶ ↑
# In one script, 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) begin # emulate blocking accept client_socket, client_addrinfo = socket.accept_nonblock rescue IO::WaitReadable, Errno::EINTR IO.select([socket]) retry end puts "The client said, '#{client_socket.readline.chomp}'" client_socket.puts "Hello from script one!" socket.close # In another script, 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 "Hello from script 2." puts "The server said, '#{socket.readline.chomp}'" socket.close
Refer to Socket#accept
for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to accept_nonblock fails.
Socket#accept_nonblock
may raise any error corresponding to accept(2) failure, including Errno::EWOULDBLOCK.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EAGAIN, Errno::ECONNABORTED or Errno::EPROTO, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable
. So IO::WaitReadable
can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying accept_nonblock.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false
, you can indicate that accept_nonblock
should not raise an IO::WaitReadable
exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable
instead.

static VALUE sock_connect(VALUE sock, VALUE addr) { VALUE rai; rb_io_t *fptr; int fd, n; SockAddrStringValueWithAddrinfo(addr, rai); addr = rb_str_new4(addr); GetOpenFile(sock, fptr); fd = fptr->fd; n = rsock_connect(fd, (struct sockaddr*)RSTRING_PTR(addr), RSTRING_SOCKLEN(addr), 0, NULL); if (n < 0) { rsock_sys_fail_raddrinfo_or_sockaddr("connect(2)", addr, rai); } return INT2FIX(n); }
Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr
after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.
Parameter¶ ↑
# +remote_sockaddr+ - the +struct+ sockaddr contained in a string or Addrinfo object
Example:¶ ↑
# Pull down Google's web page require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0) sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(80, 'www.google.com') begin # emulate blocking connect socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr) rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [socket]) # wait 3-way handshake completion begin socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr) # check connection failure rescue Errno::EISCONN end end socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n") results = socket.read
Refer to Socket#connect
for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to connect_nonblock fails.
Socket#connect_nonblock
may raise any error corresponding to connect(2) failure, including Errno::EINPROGRESS.
If the exception is Errno::EINPROGRESS, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable
. So IO::WaitWritable
can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying connect_nonblock.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false
, you can indicate that connect_nonblock
should not raise an IO::WaitWritable
exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable
instead.
See¶ ↑
# Socket#connect
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1625 def connect_nonblock(addr, exception: true) __connect_nonblock(addr, exception) end
enable the socket option IPV6_V6ONLY if IPV6_V6ONLY is available.
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 468 def ipv6only! if defined? Socket::IPV6_V6ONLY self.setsockopt(:IPV6, :V6ONLY, 1) end end
Listens for connections, using the specified int
as the backlog. A call to listen only applies if the socket
is of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET.
Parameter¶ ↑
-
backlog
- the maximum length of the queue for pending connections.
Example 1¶ ↑
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) socket.bind( sockaddr ) socket.listen( 5 )
Example 2 (listening on an arbitrary port, unix-based systems only):¶ ↑
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) socket.listen( 1 )
Unix-based Exceptions¶ ↑
On unix based systems the above will work because a new sockaddr
struct is created on the address ADDR_ANY, for an arbitrary port number as handed off by the kernel. It will not work on Windows, because Windows requires that the socket
is bound by calling bind before it can listen.
If the backlog amount exceeds the implementation-dependent maximum queue length, the implementation’s maximum queue length will be used.
On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
-
Errno::EBADF - the socket argument is not a valid file descriptor
-
Errno::EDESTADDRREQ - the socket is not bound to a local address, and the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket
-
Errno::EINVAL - the socket is already connected
-
Errno::ENOTSOCK - the socket argument does not refer to a socket
-
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the socket protocol does not support listen
-
Errno::EACCES - the calling process does not have appropriate privileges
-
Errno::EINVAL - the socket has been shut down
-
Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources are available in the system to complete the call
Windows Exceptions¶ ↑
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
-
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
-
Errno::EADDRINUSE - the socket’s local address is already in use. This usually occurs during the execution of bind but could be delayed if the call to bind was to a partially wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY) and if a specific address needs to be committed at the time of the call to listen
-
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
-
Errno::EINVAL - the
socket
has not been bound with a call to bind. -
Errno::EISCONN - the
socket
is already connected -
Errno::EMFILE - no more socket descriptors are available
-
Errno::ENOBUFS - no buffer space is available
-
Errno::ENOTSOC -
socket
is not a socket -
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the referenced
socket
is not a type that supports the listen method
See¶ ↑
-
listen manual pages on unix-based systems
-

Unix-based Exceptions¶ ↑
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 thesocket
file descriptor is marked as O_NONBLOCK or thesocket
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
Windows Exceptions¶ ↑
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 onsocket
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 withsocket
, orsocket
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.
static VALUE sock_recvfrom(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE sock) { return rsock_s_recvfrom(sock, argc, argv, RECV_SOCKET); }
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.
Parameters¶ ↑
-
maxlen
- the maximum number of bytes to receive from the socket -
flags
- zero or more of theMSG_
options -
outbuf
- destinationString
buffer -
opts
- keyword hash, supporting ‘exception: false`
Example¶ ↑
# 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.

# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 541 def recvfrom_nonblock(len, flag = 0, str = nil, exception: true) __recvfrom_nonblock(len, flag, str, exception) end
Accepts an incoming connection returning an array containing the (integer) file descriptor for the incoming connection, client_socket_fd, and an Addrinfo
, client_addrinfo.
