class Addrinfo

The Addrinfo class maps struct addrinfo to ruby. This structure identifies an Internet host and a service.

Public Class Methods

foreach (nodename, service, family=nil, socktype=nil, protocol=nil, flags=nil, timeout: nil, &block)

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)>
# File ext/socket/lib/socket.rb, line 230
def self.foreach(nodename, service, family=nil, socktype=nil, protocol=nil, flags=nil, timeout: nil, &block)
  Addrinfo.getaddrinfo(nodename, service, family, socktype, protocol, flags, timeout: timeout).each(&block)
end
getaddrinfo(nodename, service, family, socktype, protocol, flags) → [addrinfo, ...]
getaddrinfo(nodename, service, family, socktype, protocol) → [addrinfo, ...]
getaddrinfo(nodename, service, family, socktype) → [addrinfo, ...]
getaddrinfo(nodename, service, family) → [addrinfo, ...]
getaddrinfo(nodename, service) → [addrinfo, ...]

returns a list of addrinfo objects as an array.

This method converts nodename (hostname) and service (port) to addrinfo. Since the conversion is not unique, the result is a list of addrinfo objects.

nodename or service can be nil if no conversion intended.

family, socktype and protocol are hint for preferred protocol. If the result will be used for a socket with SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_STREAM should be specified as socktype. If so, Addrinfo.getaddrinfo returns addrinfo list appropriate for SOCK_STREAM. If they are omitted or nil is given, the result is not restricted.

Similarly, PF_INET6 as family restricts for IPv6.

flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::AI_??? constants such as follows. Note that the exact list of the constants depends on OS.

AI_PASSIVE      Get address to use with bind()
AI_CANONNAME    Fill in the canonical name
AI_NUMERICHOST  Prevent host name resolution
AI_NUMERICSERV  Prevent service name resolution
AI_V4MAPPED     Accept IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
AI_ALL          Allow all addresses
AI_ADDRCONFIG   Accept only if any address is assigned

Note that socktype should be specified whenever application knows the usage of the address. Some platform causes an error when socktype is omitted and servname is specified as an integer because some port numbers, 512 for example, are ambiguous without socktype.

Addrinfo.getaddrinfo("www.kame.net", 80, nil, :STREAM)

    }

    return addrinfo_list_new(node, service, family, socktype, protocol, flags, timeout);
}
ip(host) → addrinfo

returns an addrinfo object for IP address.

The port, socktype, protocol of the result is filled by zero. So, it is not appropriate to create a socket.

Addrinfo.ip("localhost") #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)>
static VALUE
addrinfo_s_ip(VALUE self, VALUE host)
{
    VALUE ret;
    rb_addrinfo_t *rai;
    ret = addrinfo_firstonly_new(host, Qnil,
            INT2NUM(PF_UNSPEC), INT2FIX(0), INT2FIX(0), INT2FIX(0));
    rai = get_addrinfo(ret);
    rai->socktype = 0;
    rai->protocol = 0;
    return ret;
}
new(sockaddr) → addrinfo
new(sockaddr, family) → addrinfo
new(sockaddr, family, socktype) → addrinfo
new(sockaddr, family, socktype, protocol) → addrinfo

returns a new instance of Addrinfo. The instance contains sockaddr, family, socktype, protocol. sockaddr means struct sockaddr which can be used for connect(2), etc. family, socktype and protocol are integers which is used for arguments of socket(2).

sockaddr is specified as an array or a string. The array should be compatible to the value of IPSocket#addr or UNIXSocket#addr. The string should be struct sockaddr as generated by Socket.sockaddr_in or Socket.unpack_sockaddr_un.

sockaddr examples:

  • ["AF_INET", 46102, "localhost.localdomain", "127.0.0.1"]

  • ["AF_INET6", 42304, "ip6-localhost", "::1"]

  • ["AF_UNIX", "/tmp/sock"]

  • Socket.sockaddr_in("smtp", "2001:DB8::1")

  • Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "172.18.22.42")

  • Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "www.ruby-lang.org")

  • Socket.sockaddr_un("/tmp/sock")

In an AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockaddr array, the 4th element, numeric IP address, is used to construct socket address in the Addrinfo instance. If the 3rd element, textual host name, is non-nil, it is also recorded but used only for Addrinfo#inspect.

family is specified as an integer to specify the protocol family such as Socket::PF_INET. It can be a symbol or a string which is the constant name with or without PF_ prefix such as :INET, :INET6, :UNIX, “PF_INET”, etc. If omitted, PF_UNSPEC is assumed.

socktype is specified as an integer to specify the socket type such as Socket::SOCK_STREAM. It can be a symbol or a string which is the constant name with or without SOCK_ prefix such as :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, “SOCK_STREAM”, etc. If omitted, 0 is assumed.

protocol is specified as an integer to specify the protocol such as Socket::IPPROTO_TCP. It must be an integer, unlike family and socktype. If omitted, 0 is assumed. Note that 0 is reasonable value for most protocols, except raw socket.

connect([opts]) {|socket| ... }
connect([opts])

creates a socket connected to the address of self.

The optional argument opts is options represented by a hash. opts may have following options:

:timeout

specify the timeout in seconds.

If a block is given, it is called with the socket and the value of the block is returned. The socket is returned otherwise.

If one or more arguments given as local_addr_args, it is used as the local address of the socket. local_addr_args is given for family_addrinfo to obtain actual address.

If local_addr_args is not given, the local address of the socket is not bound.

The optional last argument opts is options represented by a hash. opts may have following options:

:timeout

specify the timeout in seconds.

If a block is given, it is called with the socket and the value of the block is returned. The socket is returned otherwise.

getnameinfo → [nodename, service]
getnameinfo(flags) → [nodename, service]
