$ ri Marshal#dump
---------------------------------------------------------- Marshal::dump
     dump( anObject [, anIO] , limit=--1 ) -> anIO
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Serializes anObject and all descendent objects. If anIO is
     specified, the serialized data will be written to it, otherwise the
     data will be returned as a String. If limit is specified, the
     traversal of subobjects will be limited to that depth. If limit is
     negative, no checking of depth will be performed.
