Overview
This manual page documents briefly the ri1.6 commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
ri is a command line tool that displays descriptions of built-in Ruby methods, classes, and modules. For methods, it shows you the calling sequence and a description. For classes and modules, it shows a synopsis along with a list of the methods the class or module implements. All information is taken from the reference section of the book Programming Ruby.
