How can I know if a program is running inside irb?

Ruby

Hi,

from a certain piece of code, how can I know if it’s been run inside
irb, or just ruby. I’ve tried looking in the IRB rdoc, but haven’t
found any relevant methods.

Thanks in advance.

if it is really necessary (I don’t know why it should be) maybe it’s an
option to use
Object.const_defined? :IRB

Thanks. It’s just a bit of an ugly hack to know whether I should start
a Curses interface or not. A curses interface misbehaves within irb
since irb is also using curses. That’s all.
