This is a Ruby tree! It shows every object from the Ruby Programming Language in a tree format.
# Process::Status < Object (from ruby core) --- Process::Status encapsulates the information on the status of a running or terminated system process. The built-in variable `$?` is either `nil` or a Process::Status object. fork { exit 99 } #=> 26557 Process.wait #=> 26557 $?.class #=> Process::Status $?.to_i #=> 25344 $? >> 8 #=> 99 $?.stopped? #=> false $?.exited? #=> true $?.exitstatus #=> 99 Posix systems record information on processes using a 16-bit integer. The lower bits record the process status (stopped, exited, signaled) and the upper bits possibly contain additional information (for example the program's return code in the case of exited processes). Pre Ruby 1.8, these bits were exposed directly to the Ruby program. Ruby now encapsulates these in a Process::Status object. To maximize compatibility, however, these objects retain a bit-oriented interface. In the descriptions that follow, when we talk about the integer value of *stat*, we're referring to this 16 bit value. --- # Class methods: wait # Instance methods: & == >> coredump? exited? exitstatus inspect pid signaled? stopped? stopsig success? termsig to_i to_s
