TCPSocket represents a TCP/IP client socket.
A simple client may look like:
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
Lookups host information by hostname.
TCPSocket.gethostbyname("localhost") #=> ["localhost", ["hal"], 2, "127.0.0.1"]
static VALUE tcp_s_gethostbyname(VALUE obj, VALUE host) { rb_secure(3); return rsock_make_hostent(host, rsock_addrinfo(host, Qnil, SOCK_STREAM, AI_CANONNAME), tcp_sockaddr); }
Opens a TCP connection to remote_host
on
remote_port
. If local_host
and
local_port
are specified, then those parameters are used on
the local end to establish the connection.
static VALUE tcp_init(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE sock) { VALUE remote_host, remote_serv; VALUE local_host, local_serv; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "22", &remote_host, &remote_serv, &local_host, &local_serv); return rsock_init_inetsock(sock, remote_host, remote_serv, local_host, local_serv, INET_CLIENT); }
