From: samuel@... Date: 2019-01-26T11:01:26+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:91279] [Ruby trunk Feature#15560] Add support for read/write offsets. Issue #15560 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). Also, rather than using a keyword argument, it could be a 3rd argument after buffer, since buffer must be supplied in order for this to work. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15560: Add support for read/write offsets. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15560#change-76525 * Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: 2.7 ---------------------------------------- It would be nice if read/write/send/recv/etc methods could accept an offset argument. e.g. ``` socket = Socket.new(...) buffer = String.b socket.read(1024, buffer) socket.read(1024, buffer, offset: buffer.bytesize) ``` The same for write, e.g. ``` socket = Socket.new(...) buffer = String.b amount = socket.write(buffer) socket.write(buffer, offset: amount) ``` Could also include "size:" so that we can selectively write parts of the buffer. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
