RDoc::RI::

Driver

class

The RI driver implements the command-line ri tool.

The driver supports:

Attributes

stores[RW]

An RDoc::RI::Store for each entry in the RI path

use_stdout[RW]

Controls the user of the pager vs $stdout

  open data_path, 'rb' do |io|
    pp Marshal.load(io.read)

Creates a new driver using initial_options from ::process_args

end
process_args(argv)

Parses argv and returns a Hash of options

# File lib/rdoc/ri/driver.rb, line 104
  def self.process_args argv
    options = default_options

    opts = OptionParser.new do |opt|
      opt.accept File do |file,|
        File.readable?(file) and not File.directory?(file) and file
      end

      opt.program_name = File.basename $0
      opt.version = RDoc::VERSION
      opt.release = nil
      opt.summary_indent = ' ' * 4

      opt.banner = "Usage: #{opt.program_name} [options] [names...]

Where name can be:

  Class | Class::method | Class#method | Class.method | method

All class names may be abbreviated to their minimum unambiguous form. If a name
is ambiguous, all valid options will be listed.

A '.' matches either class or instance methods, while #method
matches only instance and ::method matches only class methods.

For example:

    #{opt.program_name} Fil
    #{opt.program_name} File
    #{opt.program_name} File.new
    #{opt.program_name} zip

Note that shell quoting or escaping may be required for method names containing
punctuation:

    #{opt.program_name} 'Array.[]'
    #{opt.program_name} compact\\!

To see the default directories ri will search, run:

    #{opt.program_name} --list-doc-dirs

Specifying the --system, --site, --home, --gems or --doc-dir options will
limit ri to searching only the specified directories.

Options may also be set in the 'RI' environment variable.
