Provides a few commands for loading files within an irb session.
See ExtendCommandBundle for more information.
Loads the given file similarly to Kernel#load
 
               # File irb/ext/loader.rb, line 27
def irb_load(fn, priv = nil)
  path = search_file_from_ruby_path(fn)
  raise LoadError, "No such file to load -- #{fn}" unless path
  load_file(path, priv)
end
             
            Loads the given file in the current session's context and evaluates it.
See Irb#suspend_input_method for more information.
 
               # File irb/ext/loader.rb, line 73
def load_file(path, priv = nil)
  irb.suspend_name(path, File.basename(path)) do
    if priv
      ws = WorkSpace.new(Module.new)
    else
      ws = WorkSpace.new
    end
    irb.suspend_workspace(ws) do
      irb.suspend_input_method(FileInputMethod.new(path)) do
        |back_io|
        irb.signal_status(:IN_LOAD) do
          if back_io.kind_of?(FileInputMethod)
            irb.eval_input
          else
            begin
              irb.eval_input
            rescue LoadAbort
              print "load abort!!\n"
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
             
            Loads a given file in the current session and displays the source lines
