Sets the global do_not_reverse_lookup flag.

Class Method Summary

::BasicSocket - Inherited

.for_fd

Returns a socket object which contains the file descriptor, fd.

Instance Attribute Summary

::BasicSocket - Inherited

#do_not_reverse_lookup

Gets the do_not_reverse_lookup flag of basicsocket.
#do_not_reverse_lookup=

Sets the do_not_reverse_lookup flag of basicsocket.

Instance Method Summary

::BasicSocket - Inherited

#close_read

Disallows further read using shutdown system call.
#close_write

Disallows further write using shutdown system call.
#connect_address

Returns an address of the socket suitable for connect in the local machine.
#getpeereid

Returns the user and group on the peer of the UNIX socket.
#getpeername

Returns the remote address of the socket as a sockaddr string.
#getsockname

Returns the local address of the socket as a sockaddr string.
#getsockopt

Gets a socket option.
#local_address

Returns an ::Addrinfo object for local address obtained by getsockname.
#recv

Receives a message.
#recv_nonblock

Receives up to maxlen bytes from socket using recvfrom(2) after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
#recvmsg

recvmsg receives a message using recvmsg(2) system call in blocking manner.
#recvmsg_nonblock

recvmsg receives a message using recvmsg(2) system call in non-blocking manner.
#remote_address

Returns an ::Addrinfo object for remote address obtained by getpeername.
#send

send mesg via basicsocket.
#sendmsg

sendmsg sends a message using sendmsg(2) system call in blocking manner.
#sendmsg_nonblock

sendmsg_nonblock sends a message using sendmsg(2) system call in non-blocking manner.
#setsockopt

Sets a socket option.
#shutdown

Calls shutdown(2) system call.
#__recvmsg, #__recvmsg_nonblock, #__sendmsg, #__sendmsg_nonblock

Class Method Details

.getaddress(host) ⇒ ipaddress

Lookups the IP address of host.

require 'socket'

IPSocket.getaddress("localhost")     #=> "127.0.0.1"
IPSocket.getaddress("ip6-localhost") #=> "::1"

Instance Method Details

#addr([reverse_lookup]) ⇒ Array, ...

Returns the local address as an array which contains address_family, port, hostname and numeric_address.

If reverse_lookup is true or :hostname, hostname is obtained from numeric_address using reverse lookup. Or if it is false, or :numeric, hostname is same as numeric_address. Or if it is nil or omitted, obeys to ipsocket.do_not_reverse_lookup. See Socket.getaddrinfo also.

TCPSocket.open("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) {|sock|
  p sock.addr #=> ["AF_INET", 49429, "hal", "192.168.0.128"]
  p sock.addr(true)  #=> ["AF_INET", 49429, "hal", "192.168.0.128"]
  p sock.addr(false) #=> ["AF_INET", 49429, "192.168.0.128", "192.168.0.128"]
  p sock.addr(:hostname)  #=> ["AF_INET", 49429, "hal", "192.168.0.128"]
  p sock.addr(:numeric)   #=> ["AF_INET", 49429, "192.168.0.128", "192.168.0.128"]
}

#peeraddr([reverse_lookup]) ⇒ Array, ...

Returns the remote address as an array which contains address_family, port, hostname and numeric_address. It is defined for connection oriented socket such as ::TCPSocket.

If reverse_lookup is true or :hostname, hostname is obtained from numeric_address using reverse lookup. Or if it is false, or :numeric, hostname is same as numeric_address. Or if it is nil or omitted, obeys to ipsocket.do_not_reverse_lookup. See Socket.getaddrinfo also.

TCPSocket.open("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) {|sock|
  p sock.peeraddr #=> ["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68"]
  p sock.peeraddr(true)  #=> ["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68"]
  p sock.peeraddr(false) #=> ["AF_INET", 80, "221.186.184.68", "221.186.184.68"]
  p sock.peeraddr(:hostname) #=> ["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68"]
  p sock.peeraddr(:numeric)  #=> ["AF_INET", 80, "221.186.184.68", "221.186.184.68"]
}

#recvfrom(maxlen) ⇒ Array, ipaddr #recvfrom(maxlen, flags) ⇒ Array, ipaddr

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 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"]]
