From: Yukihiro Matsumoto Date: 2008-11-24T17:03:18+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:20068] [Bug #745](Rejected) IO associates with the file descriptor, not the stream Issue #745 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto. Status changed from Open to Rejected I think the current behavior follows the underlying OS behavior. When you create an IO object over a file descriptor, every operation of the IO should work on the descriptor. If you want streams work serapratedly, you should dup the descriptor explicitly. Am I missing something? ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/745 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
