Constructor Details

.new([address_family]) ⇒ socket

Creates a new UDPSocket object.

address_family should be an integer, a string or a symbol: Socket::AF_INET, “AF_INET”, :INET, etc.

    #bind(host, port) # = > 0))    



  

    

Binds udpsocket to host:port.

Connects udpsocket to host:port.



This makes possible to send without destination address.

u2 = UDPSocket.new

    #recvfrom_nonblock(maxlen [, flags[, outbuf [, options]]])  ⇒ Array, sender_inet_addr   



  

    

Receives up to maxlen bytes from udpsocket 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_inet_addr, is an array to represent the sender address.



When recvfrom(2) returns 0, Socket#recvfrom_nonblock returns an empty string as data. It means an empty packet.



Parameters


  • 

    maxlen - the number of bytes to receive from the socket
    

  • 

    flags - zero or more of the MSG_ options
    

  • 

    outbuf - destination String buffer
    

  • 

    options - keyword hash, supporting exception: false
    




Example



require 'socket'
s1 = UDPSocket.new
s1.bind("127.0.0.1", 0)
s2 = UDPSocket.new
s2.bind("127.0.0.1", 0)
s2.connect(*s1.addr.values_at(3,1))
s1.connect(*s2.addr.values_at(3,1))
s1.send "aaa", 0
begin # emulate blocking recvfrom
  p s2.recvfrom_nonblock(10)  #=> ["aaa", ["AF_INET", 33302, "localhost.localdomain", "127.0.0.1"]]
rescue IO::WaitReadable
  IO.select([s2])
  retry
end



Refer to Socket#recvfrom for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to recvfrom_nonblock fails.



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.

      #send(mesg, flags, host, port)  ⇒ numbytes_sent 
      #send(mesg, flags, sockaddr_to)  ⇒ numbytes_sent 
      #send(mesg, flags)  ⇒ numbytes_sent 
    

  



  

    

Sends mesg via udpsocket.



flags should be a bitwise OR of Socket::MSG_* constants.



u1 = UDPSocket.new
u1.bind("127.0.0.1", 4913)

u2 = UDPSocket.new
u2.send "hi", 0, "127.0.0.1", 4913

mesg, addr = u1.recvfrom(10)
u1.send mesg, 0, addr[3], addr[1]

p u2.recv(100) #=> "hi"
