load

/*
 * call-seq:
 *     load( source [, proc] ) => obj
 *     restore( source [, proc] ) => obj
 * 
 * Returns the result of converting the serialized data in source into a
 * Ruby object (possibly with associated subordinate objects). source
 * may be either an instance of IO or an object that responds to
 * to_str. If proc is specified, it will be passed each object as it
 * is deserialized.
