class IO
Expect library adds the IO instance method expect, which does similar act to tcl's expect extension.
In order to use this method, you must require expect:
require 'expect'
Please see expect for usage.
The IO class is the basis for all input and output in Ruby. An I/O stream may be duplexed (that is, bidirectional), and so may use more than one native operating system stream.
Many of the examples in this section use the File class, the only standard subclass of IO. The two classes are closely associated. Like the File class, the Socket library subclasses from IO (such as TCPSocket or UDPSocket).
The Kernel#open method can create an IO (or File) object for these types of arguments:
-
A plain string represents a filename suitable for the underlying operating system.
-
A string starting with
"|"indicates a subprocess. The remainder of the string following the"|"is invoked as a process with appropriate input/output channels connected to it. -
A string equal to
"|-"will create another Ruby instance as a subprocess.
The IO may be opened with different file modes (read-only, write-only) and encodings for proper conversion. See IO.new for these options. See Kernel#open for details of the various command formats described above.
IO.popen, the Open3 library, or Process#spawn may also be used to communicate with subprocesses through an IO.
Ruby will convert pathnames between different operating system conventions if possible. For instance, on a Windows system the filename "/gumby/ruby/test.rb" will be opened as "\gumby\ruby\test.rb". When specifying a Windows-style filename in a Ruby string, remember to escape the backslashes:
"C:\\gumby\\ruby\\test.rb"
Our examples here will use the Unix-style forward slashes; File::ALT_SEPARATOR can be used to get the platform-specific separator character.
The global constant ARGF (also accessible as $<) provides an IO-like stream which allows access to all files mentioned on the command line (or STDIN if no files are mentioned). ARGF#path and its alias ARGF#filename are provided to access the name of the file currently being read.
io/console¶ ↑
The io/console extension provides methods for interacting with the console. The console can be accessed from IO.console or the standard input/output/error IO objects.
Requiring io/console adds the following methods:
Example:
require 'io/console' rows, columns = $stdout.winsize puts "Your screen is #{columns} wide and #{rows} tall"

Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset, then returns length bytes (defaulting to the rest of the file). binread ensures the file is closed before returning. The open mode would be “rb:ASCII-8BIT”.
IO.binread("testfile") #=> "This is line one\nThis is line two\nThis is line three\nAnd so on...\n" IO.binread("testfile", 20) #=> "This is line one\nThi" IO.binread("testfile", 20, 10) #=> "ne one\nThis is line "

IO.copy_stream copies src to dst. src and dst is either a filename or an IO-like object. IO-like object for src should have readpartial or read method. IO-like object for dst should have write method. (Specialized mechanisms, such as sendfile system call, may be used on appropriate situation.)
This method returns the number of bytes copied.
If optional arguments are not given, the start position of the copy is the beginning of the filename or the current file offset of the IO. The end position of the copy is the end of file.
If copy_length is given, No more than copy_length bytes are copied.
If src_offset is given, it specifies the start position of the copy.
When src_offset is specified and src is an IO, IO.copy_stream doesn't move the current file offset.

}
Returns a new IO object (a stream) for the given integer file descriptor fd and mode string. opt may be used to specify parts of mode in a more readable fashion. See also IO.sysopen and IO.for_fd.
IO.new is called by various File and IO opening methods such as IO::open, Kernel#open, and File::open.
Open Mode¶ ↑
When mode is an integer it must be combination of the modes defined in File::Constants (File::RDONLY, File::WRONLY|File::CREAT). See the open(2) man page for more information.
When mode is a string it must be in one of the following forms:
fmode fmode ":" ext_enc fmode ":" ext_enc ":" int_enc fmode ":" "BOM|UTF-*"
fmode is an IO open mode string, ext_enc is the external encoding for the IO and int_enc is the internal encoding.
IO Open Mode¶ ↑
Ruby allows the following open modes:
"r" Read-only, starts at beginning of file (default mode).
"r+" Read-write, starts at beginning of file.
"w" Write-only, truncates existing file
to zero length or creates a new file for writing.
"w+" Read-write, truncates existing file to zero length
or creates a new file for reading and writing.
"a" Write-only, each write call appends data at end of file.
Creates a new file for writing if file does not exist.
"a+" Read-write, each write call appends data at end of file.
Creates a new file for reading and writing if file does
not exist.
The following modes must be used separately, and along with one or more of the modes seen above.
"b" Binary file mode
Suppresses EOL <-> CRLF conversion on Windows. And
sets external encoding to ASCII-8BIT unless explicitly
specified.
"t" Text file mode
The exclusive access mode (“x”) can be used together with “w” to ensure the file is created. Errno::EEXIST is raised when it already exists. It may not be supported with all kinds of streams (e.g. pipes).
When the open mode of original IO is read only, the mode cannot be changed to be writable. Similarly, the open mode cannot be changed from write only to readable.
When such a change is attempted the error is raised in different locations according to the platform.
IO Encoding¶ ↑
When ext_enc is specified, strings read will be tagged by the encoding when reading, and strings output will be converted to the specified encoding when writing.
When ext_enc and int_enc are specified read strings will be converted from ext_enc to int_enc upon input, and written strings will be converted from int_enc to ext_enc upon output. See Encoding for further details of transcoding on input and output.
If “BOM|UTF-8”, “BOM|UTF-16LE” or “BOM|UTF16-BE” are used, Ruby checks for a Unicode BOM in the input document to help determine the encoding. For UTF-16 encodings the file open mode must be binary. When present, the BOM is stripped and the external encoding from the BOM is used. When the BOM is missing the given Unicode encoding is used as ext_enc. (The BOM-set encoding option is case insensitive, so “bom|utf-8” is also valid.)
Options¶ ↑
opt can be used instead of mode for improved readability. The following keys are supported:
- :mode
-
Same as
modeparameter - :flags
-
Specifies file open flags as integer. If
modeparameter is given, this parameter will be bitwise-ORed. - :external_encoding
-
External encoding for the
IO. - :internal_encoding
-
Internal encoding for the
IO. “-” is a synonym for the default internal encoding.If the value is
nilno conversion occurs. - :encoding
-
Specifies external and internal encodings as “extern:intern”.
- :textmode
-
If the value is truth value, same as “t” in argument
mode. - :binmode
-
If the value is truth value, same as “b” in argument
mode. - :autoclose
-
If the value is
false, thefdwill be kept open after thisIOinstance gets finalized.
Also, opt can have same keys in String#encode for controlling conversion between the external encoding and the internal encoding.
Example 1¶ ↑
fd = IO.sysopen("/dev/tty", "w") a = IO.new(fd,"w") $stderr.puts "Hello" a.puts "World"
Produces:
Hello World
Example 2¶ ↑
require 'fcntl' fd = STDERR.fcntl(Fcntl::F_DUPFD) io = IO.new(fd, mode: 'w:UTF-16LE', cr_newline: true) io.puts "Hello, World!" fd = STDERR.fcntl(Fcntl::F_DUPFD) io = IO.new(fd, mode: 'w', cr_newline: true, external_encoding: Encoding::UTF_16LE) io.puts "Hello, World!"
Both of above print “Hello, World!” in UTF-16LE to standard error output with converting EOL generated by puts to CR.

With no associated block, IO.open is a synonym for IO.new. If the optional code block is given, it will be passed io as an argument, and the IO object will automatically be closed when the block terminates. In this instance, IO.open returns the value of the block.
See IO.new for a description of the fd, mode and opt parameters.

}
return io;
}
Creates a pair of pipe endpoints (connected to each other) and returns them as a two-element array of IO objects: [ read_io, write_io ].
If a block is given, the block is called and returns the value of the block. read_io and write_io are sent to the block as arguments. If read_io and write_io are not closed when the block exits, they are closed. i.e. closing read_io and/or write_io doesn't cause an error.
Not available on all platforms.
If an encoding (encoding name or encoding object) is specified as an optional argument, read string from pipe is tagged with the encoding specified. If the argument is a colon separated two encoding names “A:B”, the read string is converted from encoding A (external encoding) to encoding B (internal encoding), then tagged with B. If two optional arguments are specified, those must be encoding objects or encoding names, and the first one is the external encoding, and the second one is the internal encoding. If the external encoding and the internal encoding is specified, optional hash argument specify the conversion option.
In the example below, the two processes close the ends of the pipe that they are not using. This is not just a cosmetic nicety. The read end of a pipe will not generate an end of file condition if there are any writers with the pipe still open. In the case of the parent process, the rd.read will never return if it does not first issue a wr.close.
rd, wr = IO.pipe if fork wr.close puts "Parent got: <#{rd.read}>" rd.close Process.wait else rd.close puts "Sending message to parent" wr.write "Hi Dad" wr.close end
produces:
Sending message to parent Parent got: <Hi Dad>

Runs the specified command as a subprocess; the subprocess's standard input and output will be connected to the returned IO object.
The PID of the started process can be obtained by IO#pid method.
cmd is a string or an array as follows.
cmd: "-" : fork commandline : command line string which is passed to a shell [env, cmdname, arg1, ..., opts] : command name and zero or more arguments (no shell) [env, [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ..., opts] : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell) (env and opts are optional.)
If cmd is a String “-'', then a new instance of Ruby is started as the subprocess.
If cmd is an Array of String, then it will be used as the subprocess's argv bypassing a shell. The array can contain a hash at first for environments and a hash at last for options similar to spawn.
The default mode for the new file object is “r'', but mode may be set to any of the modes listed in the description for class IO. The last argument opt qualifies mode.

Raises exceptions which IO.pipe and Kernel.spawn raise.
If a block is given, Ruby will run the command as a child connected to Ruby with a pipe. Ruby's end of the pipe will be passed as a parameter to the block. At the end of block, Ruby closes the pipe and sets $?. In this case IO.popen returns the value of the block.
If a block is given with a cmd of “-'', the block will be run in two separate processes: once in the parent, and once in a child. The parent process will be passed the pipe object as a parameter to the block, the child version of the block will be passed nil, and the child's standard in and standard out will be connected to the parent through the pipe.

Opens the file, optionally seeks to the given offset, then returns length bytes (defaulting to the rest of the file). read ensures the file is closed before returning.
If name starts with a pipe character ("|"), a subprocess is created in the same way as Kernel#open, and its output is returned.

- :encoding
-
string or encoding
Specifies the encoding of the read string.
:encodingwill be ignored iflengthis specified. SeeEncoding.aliasesfor possible encodings. - :mode
-
string or integer
Specifies the mode argument for open(). It must start with an “r”, otherwise it will cause an error. See
IO.newfor the list of possible modes. - :open_args
-
array
Specifies arguments for open() as an array. This key can not be used in combination with either
:encodingor:mode.

Calls select(2) system call. It monitors given arrays of IO objects, waits until one or more of IO objects are ready for reading, are ready for writing, and have pending exceptions respectively, and returns an array that contains arrays of those IO objects. It will return nil if optional timeout value is given and no IO object is ready in timeout seconds.
IO.select peeks the buffer of IO objects for testing readability. If the IO buffer is not empty, IO.select immediately notifies readability. This “peek” only happens for IO objects. It does not happen for IO-like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.
The best way to use IO.select is invoking it after nonblocking methods such as read_nonblock, write_nonblock, etc. The methods raise an exception which is extended by IO::WaitReadable or IO::WaitWritable. The modules notify how the caller should wait with IO.select. If IO::WaitReadable is raised, the caller should wait for reading. If IO::WaitWritable is raised, the caller should wait for writing.
So, blocking read (readpartial) can be emulated using read_nonblock and IO.select as follows:
begin result = io_like.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io_like]) retry rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [io_like]) retry end
Especially, the combination of nonblocking methods and IO.select is preferred for IO like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket. It has to_io method to return underlying IO object. IO.select calls to_io to obtain the file descriptor to wait.
This means that readability notified by IO.select doesn't mean readability from OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket object.
The most likely situation is that OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket buffers some data. IO.select doesn't see the buffer. So IO.select can block when OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial doesn't block.
However, several more complicated situations exist.
SSL is a protocol which is sequence of records. The record consists of multiple bytes. So, the remote side of SSL sends a partial record, IO.select notifies readability but OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket cannot decrypt a byte and OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial will block.
Also, the remote side can request SSL renegotiation which forces the local SSL engine to write some data. This means OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial may invoke write system call and it can block. In such a situation, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#read_nonblock raises IO::WaitWritable instead of blocking. So, the caller should wait for ready for writability as above example.
The combination of nonblocking methods and IO.select is also useful for streams such as tty, pipe socket socket when multiple processes read from a stream.
Finally, Linux kernel developers don't guarantee that readability of select(2) means readability of following read(2) even for a single process. See select(2) manual on GNU/Linux system.
Invoking IO.select before IO#readpartial works well as usual. However it is not the best way to use IO.select.
The writability notified by select(2) doesn't show how many bytes are writable. IO#write method blocks until given whole string is written. So, IO#write(two or more bytes) can block after writability is notified by IO.select. IO#write_nonblock is required to avoid the blocking.
Blocking write (write) can be emulated using write_nonblock and IO.select as follows: IO::WaitReadable should also be rescued for SSL renegotiation in OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.
while 0 < string.bytesize begin written = io_like.write_nonblock(string) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io_like]) retry rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [io_like]) retry end string = string.byteslice(written..-1) end
Parameters¶ ↑
- read_array
-
an array of
IOobjects that wait until ready for read - write_array
-
an array of
IOobjects that wait until ready for write - error_array
-
an array of
IOobjects that wait for exceptions - timeout
-
a numeric value in second
Example¶ ↑
rp, wp = IO.pipe mesg = "ping " 100.times { # IO.select follows IO#read. Not the best way to use IO.select. rs, ws, = IO.select([rp], [wp]) if r = rs[0] ret = r.read(5) print ret case ret when /ping/ mesg = "pong\n" when /pong/ mesg = "ping " end end if w = ws[0] w.write(mesg) end }

Announce an intention to access data from the current file in a specific pattern. On platforms that do not support the posix_fadvise(2) system call, this method is a no-op.
advice is one of the following symbols:
- :normal
-
No advice to give; the default assumption for an open file.
- :sequential
-
The data will be accessed sequentially with lower offsets read before higher ones.
- :random
-
The data will be accessed in random order.
- :willneed
-
The data will be accessed in the near future.
- :dontneed
-
The data will not be accessed in the near future.
- :noreuse
-
The data will only be accessed once.
The semantics of a piece of advice are platform-dependent. See man 2 posix_fadvise for details.
“data” means the region of the current file that begins at offset and extends for len bytes. If len is 0, the region ends at the last byte of the file. By default, both offset and len are 0, meaning that the advice applies to the entire file.
If an error occurs, one of the following exceptions will be raised:
IOError-
The
IOstream is closed. Errno::EBADF-
The file descriptor of the current file is invalid.
Errno::EINVAL-
An invalid value for advice was given.
Errno::ESPIPE-
The file descriptor of the current file refers to a FIFO or pipe. (Linux raises
Errno::EINVALin this case). TypeError-
Either advice was not a
Symbol, or one of the other arguments was not anInteger. RangeError-
One of the arguments given was too big/small.
- This list is not exhaustive; other
Errno -
exceptions are also possible.

Also, unsetting a close-on-exec flag can cause file descriptor leak if another thread use fork() and exec() (via system() method for example). If you really needs file descriptor inheritance to child process, use spawn()'s argument such as fd=>fd.

Reads from the IO until the given pattern matches or the timeout is over.
It returns an array with the read buffer, followed by the matches. If a block is given, the result is yielded to the block and returns nil.
When called without a block, it waits until the input that matches the given pattern is obtained from the IO or the time specified as the timeout passes. An array is returned when the pattern is obtained from the IO. The first element of the array is the entire string obtained from the IO until the pattern matches, followed by elements indicating which the pattern which matched to the anchor in the regular expression.
The optional timeout parameter defines, in seconds, the total time to wait for the pattern. If the timeout expires or eof is found, nil is returned or yielded. However, the buffer in a timeout session is kept for the next expect call. The default timeout is 9999999 seconds.

Provides a mechanism for issuing low-level commands to control or query file-oriented I/O streams. Arguments and results are platform dependent. If arg is a number, its value is passed directly.

Reads the next “line'' from the I/O stream; lines are separated by sep. A separator of nil reads the entire contents, and a zero-length separator reads the input a paragraph at a time (two successive newlines in the input separate paragraphs). The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised. The line read in will be returned and also assigned to $_. Returns nil if called at end of file. If the first argument is an integer, or optional second argument is given, the returning string would not be longer than the given value in bytes.

Reads maxlen bytes from ios using the pread system call and returns them as a string without modifying the underlying descriptor offset. This is advantageous compared to combining IO#seek and IO#read in that it is atomic, allowing multiple threads/process to share the same IO object for reading the file at various locations. This bypasses any userspace buffering of the IO layer. If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. Raises SystemCallError on error, EOFError at end of file and NotImplementedError if platform does not implement the system call.

Reads length bytes from the I/O stream.
length must be a non-negative integer or nil.
If length is a positive integer, read tries to read length bytes without any conversion (binary mode). It returns nil if an EOF is encountered before anything can be read. Fewer than length bytes are returned if an EOF is encountered during the read. In the case of an integer length, the resulting string is always in ASCII-8BIT encoding.
If length is omitted or is nil, it reads until EOF and the encoding conversion is applied, if applicable. A string is returned even if EOF is encountered before any data is read.
If length is zero, it returns an empty string ("").
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
When this method is called at end of file, it returns nil or "", depending on length: read, read(nil), and read(0) return "", read(positive_integer) returns nil.
f = File.new("testfile") f.read(16) #=> "This is line one" # read whole file open("file") do |f| data = f.read # This returns a string even if the file is empty. # ... end # iterate over fixed length records open("fixed-record-file") do |f| while record = f.read(256) # ... end end # iterate over variable length records, # each record is prefixed by its 32-bit length open("variable-record-file") do |f| while len = f.read(4) len = len.unpack("N")[0] # 32-bit length record = f.read(len) # This returns a string even if len is 0. end end
Note that this method behaves like the fread() function in C. This means it retries to invoke read(2) system calls to read data with the specified length (or until EOF). This behavior is preserved even if ios is in non-blocking mode. (This method is non-blocking flag insensitive as other methods.) If you need the behavior like a single read(2) system call, consider readpartial, read_nonblock, and sysread.

Reads at most maxlen bytes from ios using the read(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
read_nonblock just calls the read(2) system call. It causes all errors the read(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The caller should care such errors.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::EAGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitReadable. So IO::WaitReadable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying read_nonblock.
read_nonblock causes EOFError on EOF.
If the read byte buffer is not empty, read_nonblock reads from the buffer like readpartial. In this case, the read(2) system call is not called.
When read_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitReadable, read_nonblock should not be called until io is readable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
# emulates blocking read (readpartial). begin result = io.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io]) retry end
Although IO#read_nonblock doesn't raise IO::WaitWritable. OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock can raise IO::WaitWritable. If IO and SSL should be used polymorphically, IO::WaitWritable should be rescued too. See the document of OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock for sample code.
Note that this method is identical to readpartial except the non-blocking flag is set.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that read_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitReadable exception, but return the symbol :wait_readable instead. At EOF, it will return nil instead of raising EOFError.

Reads all of the lines in ios, and returns them in an array. Lines are separated by the optional sep. If sep is nil, the rest of the stream is returned as a single record. If the first argument is an integer, or an optional second argument is given, the returning string would not be longer than the given value in bytes. The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.
f = File.new("testfile") f.readlines[0] #=> "This is line one\n" f = File.new("testfile", chomp: true) f.readlines[0] #=> "This is line one"

Reads at most maxlen bytes from the I/O stream. It blocks only if ios has no data immediately available. It doesn't block if some data available.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of file.
readpartial is designed for streams such as pipe, socket, tty, etc. It blocks only when no data immediately available. This means that it blocks only when following all conditions hold.
-
the byte buffer in the
IOobject is empty. -
the content of the stream is empty.
-
the stream is not reached to EOF.
When readpartial blocks, it waits data or EOF on the stream. If some data is reached, readpartial returns with the data. If EOF is reached, readpartial raises EOFError.
When readpartial doesn't blocks, it returns or raises immediately. If the byte buffer is not empty, it returns the data in the buffer. Otherwise if the stream has some content, it returns the data in the stream. Otherwise if the stream is reached to EOF, it raises EOFError.
r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc". r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" "" r.readpartial(4096) # blocks because buffer and pipe is empty. r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc" w.close # "" "abc" EOF r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # raises EOFError r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc\ndef\n" # "" "abc\ndef\n" r.gets #=> "abc\n" "def\n" "" w << "ghi\n" # "def\n" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "def\n" "" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "ghi\n" "" ""
Note that readpartial behaves similar to sysread. The differences are:
-
If the byte buffer is not empty, read from the byte buffer instead of “sysread for buffered
IO(IOError)”. -
It doesn't cause Errno::EWOULDBLOCK and Errno::EINTR. When readpartial meets EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR by read system call, readpartial retry the system call.
The latter means that readpartial is nonblocking-flag insensitive. It blocks on the situation IO#sysread causes Errno::EWOULDBLOCK as if the fd is blocking mode.

Writes the given strings to ios. The stream must be opened for writing. Arguments that are not a string will be converted to a string using to_s. Returns the number of bytes written in total.

}
}
Writes the given string to ios using the write(2) system call after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor.
It returns the number of bytes written.
write_nonblock just calls the write(2) system call. It causes all errors the write(2) system call causes: Errno::EWOULDBLOCK, Errno::EINTR, etc. The result may also be smaller than string.length (partial write). The caller should care such errors and partial write.
If the exception is Errno::EWOULDBLOCK or Errno::EAGAIN, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable. So IO::WaitWritable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying write_nonblock.
# Creates a pipe. r, w = IO.pipe # write_nonblock writes only 65536 bytes and return 65536. # (The pipe size is 65536 bytes on this environment.) s = "a" * 100000 p w.write_nonblock(s) #=> 65536 # write_nonblock cannot write a byte and raise EWOULDBLOCK (EAGAIN). p w.write_nonblock("b") # Resource temporarily unavailable (Errno::EAGAIN)
If the write buffer is not empty, it is flushed at first.
When write_nonblock raises an exception kind of IO::WaitWritable, write_nonblock should not be called until io is writable for avoiding busy loop. This can be done as follows.
begin result = io.write_nonblock(string) rescue IO::WaitWritable, Errno::EINTR IO.select(nil, [io]) retry end
Note that this doesn't guarantee to write all data in string. The length written is reported as result and it should be checked later.
On some platforms such as Windows, write_nonblock is not supported according to the kind of the IO object. In such cases, write_nonblock raises Errno::EBADF.
By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that write_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.
