From: Joel VanderWerf Date: 2004-09-20T16:35:16+09:00 Subject: ri fork problem Is this just me or is 'ri fork' not being helpful? $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.0 (2004-09-10) [i686-linux] $ ri -T fork More than one method matched your request. You can refine your search by asking for information on one of: Thread::fork, Process::fork, Kernel#fork $ ri -T Process::fork ---------------------------------------------------------- Process::fork Process.fork [{ block }] => fixnum or nil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See +Kernel::fork+. $ ri -T Kernel::fork Nothing known about Kernel::fork $ ri -T Kernel#fork ------------------------------------------------------------ Kernel#fork Process.fork [{ block }] => fixnum or nil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See +Kernel::fork+. It looks like the problem is a missing 'call-seq' in process.c, for rb_fork. (Apologies if this has been corrected in the last week.)
