RI(1) Ruby Programmers Reference Guide RI(1)NAME
ri -- Ruby API reference front end
SYNOPSIS
ri [-Ti] [-d directory] [-f format] [--list-doc-dirs] [--no-standard-docs] [--[no-]{system|site|gems|home}] [--[no-]use-cache]
[--width=width] [target ...]
DESCRIPTION
ri is a CLI front end for the Ruby API reference. You can search and read API reference for classes and methods with ri.
ri is a part of Ruby.
target can be one of the following forms:
Class for classes
Class::method for class methods
Class#method for instance methods
Class.method for both class and instance methods
method for both class and instance methods
All class names may be abbreviated to their minimum unambiguous form. If a name is ambiguous, all valid options will be listed.
For example:
ri Fil
ri File
ri File.new
ri zip
Note that shell quoting may be required for method names containing punctuation:
ri 'Array.[]'
ri compact
OPTIONS --version Prints the version of ri.
-T
--no-pager Send output directly to stdout, rather than to a pager.
-d directory
--doc-dir=directory
List of directories from which to source documentation in addition to the standard directories. May be repeated.
-f FORMAT

When is in interactive mode it will allow the user to disambiguate lists of methods in case multiple methods match against a
method search string. It also will allow the user to enter in a method name (with auto-completion, if readline is supported)
when viewing a class.
