Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto b817e2e7e2 mruby-socket: add comprehensive call-seq documentation for Ruby and C methods
Added complete call-seq documentation for socket programming methods across
all major socket classes in both mrblib/socket.rb (64 Ruby methods) and
src/socket.c (35 C methods):

- Addrinfo: Complete documentation for address information handling including
  creation (new, foreach, ip, tcp, udp, unix), inspection (inspect,
  inspect_sockaddr, to_s), address queries (afamily, pfamily, ipv4?, ipv6?,
  ip?, unix?), data extraction (ip_address, ip_port, ip_unpack, unix_path),
  and conversion methods (to_sockaddr, getnameinfo)

- BasicSocket: Core socket functionality including class configuration
  (do_not_reverse_lookup, do_not_reverse_lookup=), object creation (for_fd),
  address retrieval (local_address, remote_address), and non-blocking
  operations (recv_nonblock)

- IPSocket: Internet protocol socket operations including address information
  (addr, peeraddr), connection methods (bind, connect), data transfer
  (send, recvfrom, recvfrom_nonblock), and address resolution (getaddress)

- TCPSocket/TCPServer: TCP client and server socket operations including
  connection establishment (new, open), server operations (accept,
  accept_nonblock, listen, sysaccept)

- UDPSocket: UDP socket operations for datagram communication including
  initialization and internal address handling

- Socket: Low-level socket operations including creation (new, open),
  address manipulation (sockaddr_in, sockaddr_un, unpack_sockaddr_in,
  unpack_sockaddr_un), connection management (bind, connect, listen),
  data transfer (recvfrom, recvfrom_nonblock), socket pairs (pair),
  and name resolution (getaddrinfo, getnameinfo)

- UNIXSocket/UNIXServer: Unix domain socket operations for local IPC
  including creation (new, socketpair), path handling (path, addr, peeraddr),
  server operations (accept, accept_nonblock, listen, sysaccept), and
  data transfer (recvfrom)

- Addrinfo: Core address resolution methods including getaddrinfo for name
  resolution, getnameinfo for reverse lookups, and unix_path for Unix
  domain socket paths

- BasicSocket: Low-level socket operations including getpeereid for peer
  credentials, getpeername/getsockname for address retrieval, recv/send
  for data transfer, getsockopt/setsockopt for option management,
  shutdown for connection termination, and Windows-specific overrides
  (close, sysread, sysseek, syswrite)

- IPSocket: Internet protocol utilities including ntop/pton for address
  conversion and recvfrom for receiving data with sender information

- Socket: Core socket creation and management including gethostname,
  internal methods (_accept, _bind, _connect, _listen, _socket),
  address utilities (sockaddr_un, socketpair), and platform-specific
  implementations

- Socket::Option: Socket option handling including creation from boolean/
  integer values, accessor methods (family, level, optname, data),
  type conversion (int, bool), and debugging support (inspect)

All methods now have comprehensive call-seq documentation with practical
This significantly improves maintainability and usability of errno
handling for developers working with system call errors and file
operations in embedded Ruby environments.

mruby-socket

"mruby-socket" mrbgem provides BSD socket interface for mruby. API is compatible with CRuby's "socket" library.

Example

% vi kame.rb
s = TCPSocket.open("www.kame.net", 80)
s.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
puts s.read
s.close

% mruby kame.rb
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 04:31:30 GMT
...

Requirement

  • mruby-io mrbgem
  • iij/mruby-mtest mrbgem to run tests
  • system must have RFC3493 basic socket interface
  • and some POSIX API...

TODO

  • add missing methods
  • write more tests
  • fix possible descriptor leakage (see XXX comments)
  • UNIXSocket#recv_io UNIXSocket#send_io
