[C ext to Ruby] how to produce from C, a ruby symbol ???

[unbewust]

i'd like to use ruby symbols from C , i've found ID2SYM and SYM2ID but
nothing like STR2SYM in ruby.h

i'd like to produce those ruby symbols :

:verbose and : noop


from C side...


i'm able to retrieve, from C side, the value of a key provided i know,
in advance the key and the key is a string...

ID2SYM( rb_intern( "verbose" ) );
ID2SYM( rb_intern( "noop" ) );
