You can search and read the API reference for classes and methods with .Nm . .Pp .Nm is a part of Ruby. .Pp .Ar name can be: .Bl -diag -offset indent .It Class | Module | Module::Class .Pp .It Class::method | Class#method | Class.method | method .Pp .It gem_name: | gem_name:README | gem_name:History .El .Pp All class names may be abbreviated to their minimum unambiguous form. If a name is ambiguous, all valid options will be listed. .Pp A .Ql \&. matches either class or instance methods, while #method matches only instance and ::method matches only class methods. .Pp README and other files may be displayed by prefixing them with the gem name they're contained in. If the gem name is followed by a .Ql \&: all files in the gem will be shown. The file name extension may be omitted where it is unambiguous. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent ri Fil ri File ri File.new ri zip ri rdoc:README .Ed .Pp Note that shell quoting or escaping may be required for method names containing punctuation: .Bd -literal -offset indent ri 'Array.[]' ri compact\e! .Ed .Pp To see the default directories .Nm will search, run: .Bd -literal -offset indent ri --list-doc-dirs .Ed .Pp Specifying the .Fl -system , Fl -site , Fl -home , Fl -gems , or .Fl -doc-dir options will limit .Nm to searching only the specified directories. .Pp .Nm options may be set in the .Ev RI environment variable. .Pp The .Nm pager can be set with the .Ev RI_PAGER environment variable or the .Ev PAGER environment variable. .Pp .Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width "1234567890123" -compact .Pp .It Fl i .It Fl - Ns Oo Cm no- Oc Ns Cm interactive In interactive mode you can repeatedly look up methods with autocomplete. .Pp .It Fl a .It Fl - Ns Oo Cm no- Oc Ns Cm all Show all documentation for a class or module. .Pp .It Fl l .It Fl - Ns Oo Cm no- Oc Ns Cm list List classes .Nm knows about. .Pp .It Fl - Ns Oo Cm no- Oc Ns Cm pager Send output to a pager, rather than directly to stdout. .Pp .It Fl T Synonym for .Fl -no-pager . .Pp .It Fl w Ar WIDTH .It Fl -width Ns = Ns Ar WIDTH Set the width of the output. .Pp .It Fl -server Ns Oo = Ns Ar PORT Oc Run RDoc server on the given port. The default port is\~8214. .Pp .It Fl f Ar FORMAT .It Fl -format Ns = Ns Ar FORMAT Use the selected formatter. The default formatter is .Li bs for paged output and .Li ansi otherwise. Valid formatters are: .Li ansi , Li bs , Li markdown , Li rdoc . .Pp .It Fl h .It Fl -help Show help and exit. .Pp .It Fl v .It Fl -version Output version information and exit. .El .Pp Data source options: .Bl -tag -width "1234567890123" -compact .Pp .It Fl - Ns Oo Cm no- Oc Ns Cm list-doc-dirs List the directories from which .Nm will source documentation on stdout and exit. .Pp .It Fl d Ar DIRNAME .It Fl -doc-dir Ns = Ns Ar DIRNAME List of directories from which to source documentation in addition to the standard directories.
