Public Methods

exception_str(exc=$!)

Ruby does not provide a method to print exceptions exactly the same way it does, so here's a hack to return a string representing an exception plus backtrace, in printable form.

exc	the exception to print

Returns: a string representing the exception and its backtrace

print_exception(exc=$!, out=$stdout)

Print an exception, the same way Ruby does it.

exc	the exception to print.
out	the IO object to print to.
