| arity | meth.arity -> aFixnum | Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments. |
| call | meth.call( [ args ]* ) -> anObject |
Invokes the meth with the specified
arguments, returning the method's return value.
|
| to_proc | meth.to_proc -> aProc |
