NAME

     rails -- Web-application framework

SYNOPSIS

     rails path [options...]

DESCRIPTION

     Rails is a web-application and persistence framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web-applications according to
     the Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are pri-
     marily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account, Prod-
     uct, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming
     requests (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.

     Rails is written with the ruby(1) language. For more information about Rails you can use its ---help flag. There is also online documentation
     available at "http://rubyonrails.org".
