-proto- functions in Ruby

ruby-talk
1

Hi all,

Are there plans to add any of the proto functions to Ruby in the near future?
If so, will they be added as class methods to “Socket” or will it be a
subclass of “Etc” (e.g. Etc::Proto)?

Or are they already there somewhere and I’ve missed them?

Regards,

Dan

Sorry for ignorance, but what is the “proto functions”?
Where can I get information about these functions?

/etc/protocols and related functions? If my guess is right, they are
related to network communication so… Hmm I feel that putting them
in Socket is little clumsy, but don’t suppose them used in an
application not relating to Socket.

Those who use them regularly may have more concrete feeling and more
important issues.

Well it’s all rely on correctness of my assumption.
