Class Socket
provides access to the underlying operating system socket implementations. It can be used to provide more operating system specific functionality than the protocol-specific socket classes.
The constants defined under Socket::Constants are also defined under Socket
. For example, Socket::AF_INET is usable as well as Socket::Constants::AF_INET. See Socket::Constants for the list of constants.
Sockets are endpoints of a bidirectional communication channel. Sockets can communicate within a process, between processes on the same machine or between different machines. There are many types of socket: TCPSocket
, UDPSocket
or UNIXSocket
for example.
Sockets have their own vocabulary:
domain: The family of protocols:
Socket::PF_INET
Socket::PF_INET6
Socket::PF_UNIX
etc.
type: The type of communications between the two endpoints, typically
Socket::SOCK_STREAM
Socket::SOCK_DGRAM.
protocol: Typically zero. This may be used to identify a variant of a protocol.
hostname: The identifier of a network interface:
a string (hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address or broadcast
which specifies a broadcast address)
a zero-length string which specifies INADDR_ANY
an integer (interpreted as binary address in host byte order).
Many of the classes, such as TCPSocket
, UDPSocket
or UNIXSocket
, ease the use of sockets comparatively to the equivalent C programming interface.
Let's create an internet socket using the IPv4 protocol in a C-like manner:
require 'socket' s = Socket.new Socket::AF_INET, Socket::SOCK_STREAM s.connect Socket.pack_sockaddr_in(80, 'example.com')
You could also use the TCPSocket
class:
s = TCPSocket.new 'example.com', 80
A simple server might look like this:
require 'socket' server = TCPServer.new 2000 # Server bound to port 2000 loop do client = server.accept # Wait for a client to connect client.puts "Hello !" client.puts "Time is #{Time.now}" client.close end
A simple client may look like this:
require 'socket' s = TCPSocket.new 'localhost', 2000 while line = s.gets # Read lines from socket puts line # and print them end s.close # close socket when done
Ruby's Socket
implementation raises exceptions based on the error generated by the system dependent implementation. This is why the methods are documented in a way that isolate Unix-based system exceptions from Windows based exceptions. If more information on a particular exception is needed, please refer to the Unix manual pages or the Windows WinSock reference.
Although the general way to create socket is Socket.new
, there are several methods of socket creation for most cases.
Socket.tcp
, TCPSocket.open
Socket.tcp_server_loop
, TCPServer.open
Socket.unix
, UNIXSocket.open
Socket.unix_server_loop
, UNIXServer.open

yield socket and client address for each a connection accepted via given sockets.
The arguments are a list of sockets. The individual argument should be a socket or an array of sockets.
This method yields the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
# File socket/lib/socket.rb, line 800 def self.accept_loop(*sockets) # :yield: socket, client_addrinfo sockets.flatten!(1) if sockets.empty? raise ArgumentError, "no sockets" end loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) readable.each {|r| sock, addr = r.accept_nonblock(exception: false) next if sock == :wait_readable yield sock, addr } } end
Obtains address information for nodename:servname.
Note that Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
provides the same functionality in an object oriented style.
family should be an address family such as: :INET, :INET6, etc.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the family, and defaults to 0 for the family.
flags should be bitwise OR of Socket::AI_* constants.
Socket.getaddrinfo("www.ruby-lang.org", "http", nil, :STREAM) #=> [["AF_INET", 80, "carbon.ruby-lang.org", "221.186.184.68", 2, 1, 6]] # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP Socket.getaddrinfo("localhost", nil) #=> [["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 1, 6], # PF_INET/SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_TCP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 2, 17], # PF_INET/SOCK_DGRAM/IPPROTO_UDP # ["AF_INET", 0, "localhost", "127.0.0.1", 2, 3, 0]] # PF_INET/SOCK_RAW/IPPROTO_IP
reverse_lookup directs the form of the third element, and has to be one of below. If reverse_lookup is omitted, the default value is nil
.
+true+, +:hostname+: hostname is obtained from numeric address using reverse lookup, which may take a time. +false+, +:numeric+: hostname is same as numeric address. +nil+: obey to the current +do_not_reverse_lookup+ flag.
If Addrinfo
object is preferred, use Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
.

The 3rd element of the result is the address family of the first address. The address families of the rest of the addresses are not returned.
Uncommon address representation: 4/16-bytes binary string to represent IPv4/IPv6 address.
gethostbyname() may take a long time and it may block other threads. (GVL cannot be released since gethostbyname() is not thread safe.)
This method uses gethostbyname() function already removed from POSIX.

Returns the hostname.
p Socket.gethostname #=> "hal"
Note that it is not guaranteed to be able to convert to IP address using gethostbyname, getaddrinfo, etc. If you need local IP address, use Socket.ip_address_list
.

creates a new socket object connected to host:port using TCP/IP.
If local_host:local_port is given, the socket is bound to it.
The optional last argument opts is options represented by a hash. opts may have following options:
specify the timeout in seconds.
specify the name resolution timeout in seconds.
If a block is given, the block is called with the socket. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If no block is given, the socket is returned.

creates a TCP/IP server on port and calls the block for each connection accepted. The block is called with a socket and a client_address as an Addrinfo
object.
If host is specified, it is used with port to determine the server addresses.
The socket is not closed when the block returns. So application should close it explicitly.
This method calls the block sequentially. It means that the next connection is not accepted until the block returns. So concurrent mechanism, thread for example, should be used to service multiple clients at a time.
Note that Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
is used to determine the server socket addresses. When Addrinfo.getaddrinfo
returns two or more addresses, IPv4 and IPv6 address for example, all of them are used. Socket.tcp_server_loop
succeeds if one socket can be used at least.

creates TCP/IP server sockets for host and port. host is optional.
If no block given, it returns an array of listening sockets.
If a block is given, the block is called with the sockets. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If port is 0, actual port number is chosen dynamically. However all sockets in the result has same port number.

creates a UDP/IP server on port and calls the block for each message arrived. The block is called with the message and its source information.
This method allocates sockets internally using port. If host is specified, it is used conjunction with port to determine the server addresses.
The msg is a string.
The msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource
object. It is used for reply.
# UDP/IP echo server. Socket.udp_server_loop(9261) {|msg, msg_src| msg_src.reply msg }
# File socket/lib/socket.rb, line 1026 def self.udp_server_loop(host=nil, port, &b) # :yield: message, message_source udp_server_sockets(host, port) {|sockets| udp_server_loop_on(sockets, &b) } end
Run UDP/IP server loop on the given sockets.
The return value of Socket.udp_server_sockets
is appropriate for the argument.
It calls the block for each message received.
# File socket/lib/socket.rb, line 999 def self.udp_server_loop_on(sockets, &b) # :yield: msg, msg_src loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) udp_server_recv(readable, &b) } end
Receive UDP/IP packets from the given sockets. For each packet received, the block is called.
The block receives msg and msg_src. msg is a string which is the payload of the received packet. msg_src is a Socket::UDPSource
object which is used for reply.
Socket.udp_server_loop
can be implemented using this method as follows.
udp_server_sockets(host, port) {|sockets| loop { readable, _, _ = IO.select(sockets) udp_server_recv(readable) {|msg, msg_src| ... } } }
# File socket/lib/socket.rb, line 972 def self.udp_server_recv(sockets) sockets.each {|r| msg, sender_addrinfo, _, *controls = r.recvmsg_nonblock(exception: false) next if msg == :wait_readable ai = r.local_address if ai.ipv6? and pktinfo = controls.find {|c| c.cmsg_is?(:IPV6, :PKTINFO) } ai = Addrinfo.udp(pktinfo.ipv6_pktinfo_addr.ip_address, ai.ip_port) yield msg, UDPSource.new(sender_addrinfo, ai) {|reply_msg| r.sendmsg reply_msg, 0, sender_addrinfo, pktinfo } else yield msg, UDPSource.new(sender_addrinfo, ai) {|reply_msg| r.send reply_msg, 0, sender_addrinfo } end } end
Creates UDP/IP sockets for a UDP server.
If no block given, it returns an array of sockets.
If a block is given, the block is called with the sockets. The value of the block is returned. The sockets are closed when this method returns.
If port is zero, some port is chosen. But the chosen port is used for the all sockets.

creates a new socket connected to path using UNIX socket socket.
If a block is given, the block is called with the socket. The value of the block is returned. The socket is closed when this method returns.
If no block is given, the socket is returned.
# talk to /tmp/sock socket. Socket.unix("/tmp/sock") {|sock| t = Thread.new { IO.copy_stream(sock, STDOUT) } IO.copy_stream(STDIN, sock) t.join }

creates a UNIX socket server on path. It calls the block for each socket accepted.
If host is specified, it is used with port to determine the server ports.
The socket is not closed when the block returns. So application should close it.
This method deletes the socket file pointed by path at first if the file is a socket file and it is owned by the user of the application. This is safe only if the directory of path is not changed by a malicious user. So don't use /tmp/malicious-users-directory/socket. Note that /tmp/socket and /tmp/your-private-directory/socket is safe assuming that /tmp has sticky bit.

creates a UNIX server socket on path
If no block given, it returns a listening socket.
If a block is given, it is called with the socket and the block value is returned. When the block exits, the socket is closed and the socket file is removed.

Listens for connections, using the specified int
as the backlog. A call to listen only applies if the socket
is of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET.
backlog
- the maximum length of the queue for pending connections.
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' ) socket.bind( sockaddr ) socket.listen( 5 )
require 'socket' include Socket::Constants socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) socket.listen( 1 )
On unix based systems the above will work because a new sockaddr
struct is created on the address ADDR_ANY, for an arbitrary port number as handed off by the kernel. It will not work on Windows, because Windows requires that the socket
is bound by calling bind before it can listen.
If the backlog amount exceeds the implementation-dependent maximum queue length, the implementation's maximum queue length will be used.
On unix-based based systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
Errno::EBADF - the socket argument is not a valid file descriptor
Errno::EDESTADDRREQ - the socket is not bound to a local address, and the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket
Errno::EINVAL - the socket is already connected
Errno::ENOTSOCK - the socket argument does not refer to a socket
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the socket protocol does not support listen
Errno::EACCES - the calling process does not have appropriate privileges
Errno::EINVAL - the socket has been shut down
Errno::ENOBUFS - insufficient resources are available in the system to complete the call
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to listen fails:
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
Errno::EADDRINUSE - the socket's local address is already in use. This usually occurs during the execution of bind but could be delayed if the call to bind was to a partially wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY) and if a specific address needs to be committed at the time of the call to listen
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
Errno::EINVAL - the socket
has not been bound with a call to bind.
Errno::EISCONN - the socket
is already connected
Errno::EMFILE - no more socket descriptors are available
Errno::ENOBUFS - no buffer space is available

Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - the specified flags are not supported for this socket type
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection timed out during connection establishment or due to a transmission timeout on an active connection
On Windows systems the following system exceptions may be raised if the call to recvfrom fails:
Errno::ENETDOWN - the network is down
Errno::EFAULT - the internal buffer and from parameters on socket
are not part of the user address space, or the internal fromlen parameter is too small to accommodate the peer address
Errno::EINTR - the (blocking) call was cancelled by an internal call to the WinSock function WSACancelBlockingCall
Errno::EINPROGRESS - a blocking Windows Sockets 1.1 call is in progress or the service provider is still processing a callback function
Errno::EINVAL - socket
has not been bound with a call to bind, or an unknown flag was specified, or MSG_OOB was specified for a socket with SO_OOBINLINE enabled, or (for byte stream-style sockets only) the internal len parameter on socket
was zero or negative
Errno::EISCONN - socket
is already connected. The call to recvfrom is not permitted with a connected socket on a socket that is connection oriented or connectionless.
Errno::ENETRESET - the connection has been broken due to the keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress.
Errno::EOPNOTSUPP - MSG_OOB was specified, but socket
is not stream-style such as type SOCK_STREAM. OOB data is not supported in the communication domain associated with socket
, or socket
is unidirectional and supports only send operations
Errno::ESHUTDOWN - socket
has been shutdown. It is not possible to call recvfrom on a socket after shutdown has been invoked.
Errno::EWOULDBLOCK - socket
is marked as nonblocking and a call to recvfrom would block.
Errno::EMSGSIZE - the message was too large to fit into the specified buffer and was truncated.
Errno::ETIMEDOUT - the connection has been dropped, because of a network failure or because the system on the other end went down without notice
Errno::ECONNRESET - the virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a hard or abortive close. The application should close the socket; it is no longer usable. On a UDP-datagram socket this error indicates a previous send operation resulted in an ICMP Port Unreachable message.
