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
Return true
if the receiver is a generic
SystemCallError
, or if the error numbers self
and
other are the same.
static VALUE syserr_eqq(VALUE self, VALUE exc) { VALUE num, e; if (!rb_obj_is_kind_of(exc, rb_eSystemCallError)) { if (!rb_respond_to(exc, id_errno)) return Qfalse; } else if (self == rb_eSystemCallError) return Qtrue; num = rb_attr_get(exc, id_errno); if (NIL_P(num)) { num = rb_funcallv(exc, id_errno, 0, 0); } e = rb_const_get(self, id_Errno); if (FIXNUM_P(num) ? num == e : rb_equal(num, e)) return Qtrue; return Qfalse; }
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.
