The structure of the page that leads to the part you quoted is:

# class Proc

## Methods

### routine new

<what you quoted>

This is not "the Docs for Proc". Immediately above that part,
it says "routine new", and this is all in a section called "Methods".

What does that mean?

It means that this is the documentation for `Proc.new`, the constructor.
The constructor is only one of the methods.

The rest of the page documents the rest of the methods, or at least
those that are supposed to be accessed by other code, like e.g. exitcode.

Repeat after me:

The constructor is only one of the methods.
The rest of the methods are described on the rest of the page.

The constructor is only one of the methods.
The rest of the methods are described on the rest of the page.

The constructor is only one of the methods.
The rest of the methods are described on the rest of the page.

G'luck,
Peter
