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
What is mruby
mruby is the lightweight implementation of the Ruby language complying to (part of) the ISO standard with more recent features provided by Ruby 3.x. Also, its syntax is Ruby 3.x compatible except for pattern matching.
You can link and embed mruby within your application. The "mruby" interpreter program and the interactive "mirb" shell are provided as examples. You can also compile Ruby programs into compiled byte code using the "mrbc" compiler. All these tools are located in the "bin" directory. "mrbc" can also generate compiled byte code in a C source file. See the "mrbtest" program under the "test" directory for an example.
This achievement was sponsored by the Regional Innovation Creation R&D Programs of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.
How to get mruby
To get mruby, you can download the stable version 3.4.0 from the official mruby GitHub repository or clone the trunk of the mruby source tree with the "git clone" command. You can also install and compile mruby using ruby-install, ruby-build or rvm.
The latest development version of mruby can be downloaded via the following URL: https://github.com/mruby/mruby/zipball/master
The trunk of the mruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/mruby/mruby.git
mruby homepage
The URL of the mruby homepage is: https://mruby.org.
Mailing list
We don't have a mailing list, but you can use GitHub issues.
How to compile, test, and install (mruby and gems)
For the simplest case, type
rake all test
See the compile.md file for the detail.
Building documentation
There are two sets of documentation in mruby: the mruby API (generated by YARD) and C API (Doxygen and Graphviz)
To build both of them, simply go
rake doc
You can also view them in your browser
rake view_api
rake view_capi
How to customize mruby (mrbgems)
mruby contains a package manager called "mrbgems" that you can use to create extensions in C and/or Ruby. For a guide on how to use mrbgems, consult the mrbgems.md file, and for example code, refer to the examples/mrbgems/ folder.

Note for License
mruby has chosen a MIT License due to its permissive license allowing developers to target various environments such as embedded systems. However, the license requires the display of the copyright notice and license information in manuals for instance. Doing so for big projects can be complicated or troublesome. This is why mruby has decided to display "mruby developers" as the copyright name to make it simple conventionally. In the future, mruby might ask you to distribute your new code (that you will commit,) under the MIT License as a member of "mruby developers" but contributors will keep their copyright. (We did not intend for contributors to transfer or waive their copyrights, actual copyright holder name (contributors) will be listed in the AUTHORS file.)
Please ask us if you want to distribute your code under another license.
How to Contribute
To contribute to mruby, please refer to the contribution guidelines and send a pull request to the mruby GitHub repository. By contributing, you grant non-exclusive rights to your code under the MIT License.
