class IO
Public Instance Methods
Returns number of bytes that can be read without blocking. Returns zero if no information available.
static VALUE
io_nread(VALUE io)
{
    rb_io_t *fptr = NULL;
    ioctl_arg n;
    GetOpenFile(io, fptr);
    rb_io_check_readable(fptr);
    int len = rb_io_read_pending(fptr);
    if (len > 0) return INT2FIX(len);
    if (!FIONREAD_POSSIBLE_P(fptr->fd)) return INT2FIX(0);
    if (ioctl(fptr->fd, FIONREAD, &n)) return INT2FIX(0);
    if (n > 0) return ioctl_arg2num(n);
    return INT2FIX(0);
}
                              Returns true if input available without blocking, or false.
static VALUE
io_ready_p(VALUE io)
{
    rb_io_t *fptr;
    GetOpenFile(io, fptr);
    rb_io_check_readable(fptr);
    if (rb_io_read_pending(fptr)) return Qtrue;
    return io_wait_event(io, RUBY_IO_READABLE, RB_INT2NUM(0));
}
                              Waits until the IO becomes ready for the specified events and returns the subset of events that become ready, or false when times out.
The events can be a bit mask of IO::READABLE, IO::WRITABLE or IO::PRIORITY.
Returns true immediately when buffered data is available.
Optional parameter mode is one of :read, :write, or :read_write.

                              Waits until IO is priority and returns true or false when times out.
