create_listeners(address, port, logger=nil) click to toggle source

Creates TCP server sockets bound to address:port and returns them.

It will create IPV4 and IPV6 sockets on all interfaces.

def set_close_on_exec(io)
  if defined?(Fcntl::FD_CLOEXEC)
    io.fcntl(Fcntl::F_SETFD, Fcntl::FD_CLOEXEC)

def set_non_blocking(io)
  flag = File::NONBLOCK
  if defined?(Fcntl::F_GETFL)

end
            
su(user) click to toggle source

Changes the process’s uid and gid to the ones of user

def su(user)
  if defined?(Etc)
    pw = Etc.getpwnam(user)

  else
    warn("WEBrick::Utils::su doesn't work on this platform")
  end
end
            
timeout(seconds, exception=Timeout::Error) click to toggle source

Executes the passed block and raises exception if execution takes more than seconds.

If seconds is zero or nil, simply executes the block

 
               # File webrick/utils.rb, line 229
def timeout(seconds, exception=Timeout::Error)
  return yield if seconds.nil? or seconds.zero?
  # raise ThreadError, "timeout within critical session" if Thread.critical
  id = TimeoutHandler.register(seconds, exception)
  begin
    yield(seconds)
  ensure
    TimeoutHandler.cancel(id)
  end
end
