See IO#eof? for more information.

# File irb/input-method.rb, line 228
def eof?
  @eof
end

gets() click to toggle source

Reads the next line from this input method.

See IO#gets for more information.

# File irb/input-method.rb, line 212
def gets
  Readline.input = @stdin
  Readline.output = @stdout
  if l = readline(@prompt, false)
    HISTORY.push(l) if !l.empty?
    @line[@line_no += 1] = l + "\n"
  else
    @eof = true
    l
  end
end

inspect() click to toggle source

For debug message

# File irb/input-method.rb, line 255
def inspect
  readline_impl = (defined?(Reline) && Readline == Reline) ? 'Reline' : 'ext/readline'
  str = "ReadlineInputMethod with #{readline_impl} #{Readline::VERSION}"
  inputrc_path = File.expand_path(ENV['INPUTRC'] || '~/.inputrc')
  str += " and #{inputrc_path}" if File.exist?(inputrc_path)
  str
end

line(line_no) click to toggle source

Returns the current line number for io.

line counts the number of times gets is called.

def line(line_no)
  @line[line_no]
end
