• prepended - “The equivalent of included, but for prepended modules.”

• included - “Callback invoked whenever the receiver is included in another module or class.”

• extended - “The equivalent of included, but for extended modules.”

• singleton_method_added - “Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is added to the receiver.”

• singleton_method_removed - “Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is removed from the receiver”

• singleton_method_undefined - “Invoked as a callback whenever a singleton method is undefined in the receiver.”

• method_missing - “Invoked by Ruby when obj is sent a message it cannot handle.”

• const_missing - “Invoked when a reference is made to an undefined constant in mod.”
