class YARD::Tags::MethodDirective

Defines a method object with a given method signature, using indented block data as the method’s docstring. The signature is similar to the {tag:overload} tag. The comment containing this directive does not need to be attached to any source, but if it is, that source code will be used as the method’s source.

To define an attribute method, see {tag:!attribute}

@note This directive should only be used if there is no explicit

declaration for the method in any source files (i.e., the method
is declared dynamically via meta-programming). In all other cases, add
documentation to the method definition itself.

@note For backwards compatibility support, you do not need to indent

the method's docstring text. If a +@!method+ directive is seen with
no indented block, the entire docstring is used as the new method's
docstring text.

@example Defining a simple method

# @!method quit(username, message = "Quit")
#   Sends a quit message to the server for a +username+.
#   @param [String] username the username to quit
#   @param [String] message the quit message
quit_message_method

@example Attaching multiple methods to the same source

# @!method method1
# @!method method2
create_methods :method1, :method2
