From: "adkron (Amos King)" Date: 2013-05-29T11:52:47+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:55192] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8459][Open] Idiomatic method names for Socket Issue #8459 has been reported by adkron (Amos King). ---------------------------------------- Bug #8459: Idiomatic method names for Socket https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8459 Author: adkron (Amos King) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: ext Target version: next minor ruby -v: 2.0.0 Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN In order to still have the POSIX standard functionality as well as an alternative idiomatic ruby version it would be nice to have some of the methods aliased in the core. ie Soket.gethostname => Socket.hostname There is already a pull request open on the github version of Ruby. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/320#issuecomment-18591614 Again this changes none of the current method names. This is only to add some idiomatic method names to match. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
