Overview

SystemCallError is the base class for all low-level platform-dependent errors.

The errors available on the current platform are subclasses of SystemCallError and are defined in the ::Errno module.

File.open("does/not/exist")

raises the exception:

Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - does/not/exist

Class Attribute Summary

::Exception - Inherited

.to_tty?

Returns true if exception messages will be sent to a tty.

Class Method Summary

::Exception - Inherited

.exception

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.

.new

Construct a new ::Exception object, optionally passing in a message.

Instance Method Summary

::Exception - Inherited

#==

Equality—If obj is not an ::Exception, returns false.

#backtrace

Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.

#backtrace_locations

Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.

#cause

Returns the previous exception ($!) at the time this exception was raised.

#exception

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.

#full_message

Returns formatted string of exception.

#inspect

Return this exception’s class name and message.

#message

Returns the result of invoking exception.to_s.

#set_backtrace

Sets the backtrace information associated with exc.

#to_s

Returns exception’s message (or the name of the exception if no message is set).

Constructor Details

.new(msg, errno) ⇒ system_call_error_subclass

If errno corresponds to a known system error code, constructs the appropriate ::Errno class for that error, otherwise constructs a generic SystemCallError object. The error number is subsequently available via the #errno method.

.===(other) ⇒ Boolean

Return true if the receiver is a generic SystemCallError, or if the error numbers self and other are the same.
