as_load_path() — Module — Ruby on Rails 2.3.18

as_load_path()

Returns String#underscore applied to the module name minus trailing classes.

ActiveRecord.as_load_path               # => "active_record"
ActiveRecord::Associations.as_load_path # => "active_record/associations"
ActiveRecord::Base.as_load_path         # => "active_record" (Base is a class)

The Kernel module gives an empty string by definition.

Kernel.as_load_path # => ""
Math.as_load_path   # => "math"
