+ (::IO) for_fd(fd, mode = "r")

Synonym for IO::for_fd.

def self.for_fd(fd, mode = "r")
  ::IO.for_fd(fd, mode)
end

+ (Numeric) native_read(io, buf, len)

A version of IO#read that reads data from an IO and put then into a native buffer.

This will be optimized at some future time to eliminate the double copy.

Parameters:

  • io (#read) —

    io to read from

  • buf (AbstractMemory) —

    destination for data read from io

  • len (nil, Numeric) —

    maximul number of bytes to read from io. If nil, read until end of file.

Returns:

  • (Numeric) —

    length really read, in bytes
