[Rubycocoa-talk] documentation for OSX.require_framework and the like

[Scott T. <ea...@ma...>]

I was wondering where I might look to find documentation for  
OSX.require_framework.  I tried "ri" and "nothing was known" about  
require_framework.

The reason I ask is because I was trying to write some code that uses  
rubycocoa and ImageIO.  It took me quite some time to figure out how  
to make ruby aware of the ImageIO framework.  I was originally trying  
to include the ApplicationServices umbrella framework:

OSX.require_framework 'ApplicationServices'

But that didn't pull in the component frameworks.  After searching  
around I found that I could use:

OSX.require_framework '/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/ 
ImageIO.framework'

I prefer the "cleaner" way that the ApplicationServices framework came  
in above.

I wanted to know if there was a "cleaner" way to import the  
constituent frameworks of an umbrella framework, but couldn't really  
find any documentation on "require_framework" and what it does, or  
does not accept as a parameter.

Is there a source for documentation of methods like require_framework  
or init_for_bundle?  These are both methods that I found out about  
after quite a lot of fruitless searching.  If there's a better  
resource available to learn about this kind of "hidden" rubycocoa  
method, I'd love to look at it.
