### Public Class Methods

new(workspace = nil, input_method = nil, output_method = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new irb session

                   # File irb.rb, line 424
    def initialize(workspace = nil, input_method = nil, output_method = nil)

inspect() click to toggle source

Outputs the local variables to this current session, including signal_status and context, using IRB::Locale.

    def inspect
      ary = []
      for iv in instance_variables
        case (iv = iv.to_s)
        when "@signal_status"

        end
      end
      format("#<%s: %s>", self.class, ary.join(", "))
    end

Evaluates the given block using the given `input_method` as the IRB::Context#io.

    def suspend_name(path = nil, name = nil)
      @context.irb_path, back_path = path, @context.irb_path if path

      end
    end

suspend_workspace(workspace) click to toggle source

Evaluates the given block using the given `workspace` as the IRB::Context#workspace.

Used by the irb command `irb_load`, see IRB Sessions at IRB for more information.

                   # File irb.rb, line 559
    def suspend_workspace(workspace)
      @context.workspace, back_workspace = workspace, @context.workspace
