This is nodewrap, a library that provides access to ruby’s internal node tree, among other things.

See the file LICENSE for license and copyright information.

To build and run the tests:

ruby install.rb config
ruby install.rb setup

Or, if you are on ruby 1.9 (or another version of ruby that doesn’t have pre-parsed ruby source included in the distribution), you’ll need to pass a special command-line option in the config step so the build scripts can find ruby’s source code:

ruby install.rb config --ruby-source-path=/path/to/ruby
ruby install.rb setup

To install:

ruby install.rb install

See the generated documentation (in the doc/ directory) and the examples (in the directory example/) for usage.

Some notes about security:

• Methods that could potentially cause a crash if used incorrectly are disallowed with $SAFE >= 2.
