Alias_method for static method

ruby-talk

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to create aliases for class methods, as alias_method seems to work only for instance methods.
Thanks in advance

Class methods are singleton methods defined in a class's singleton
class. So, to get into the right scope you would do:

   class << YourClass

and then you can use alias and/or alias_method.
