NAME

   rdoc2.3 - Generate documentation from Ruby script files

SYNOPSIS

   rdoc2.3 [options]  [names...]

DESCRIPTION

   Files  are  parsed,  and the information they contain collected, before
   any output is produced. This allows cross references between all  files
   to  be resolved. If a name is a directory, it is traversed. If no names
   are  specified,  all  Ruby  files  in  the   current   directory   (and
   subdirectories) are processed.

   Available output formatters: chm, html, ri, xml

   For information on where the output goes, use:
       rdoc --help-output

OPTIONS

   --accessor, -A  accessorname[,..]
          comma  separated list of additional class methods that should be
          treated like 'attr_reader' and friends. Option may be  repeated.
          Each  accessorname may have '=text' appended, in which case that
          text appears where the r/w/rw appears for normal accessors.

   --all, -a
          include all methods (not just public) in the output.

   --charset, -c  charset
          specifies HTML character-set

   --debug, -D
          displays lots on internal stuff

   --diagram, -d
          generate diagrams showing modules and  classes.   You  need  dot
          V1.8.6  or  later  to use the --diagram option correctly. Dot is
          available                                                   from
          <URL:http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/>.

   --exclude, -x  pattern
          do  not  process  files  or  directories matching pattern. Files
          given explicitly on the command line will never be excluded.

   --extension, -E  new = old
          treat files ending with .new as if they ended with  .old.  Using
          '-E cgi=rb' will cause xxx.cgi to be parsed as a Ruby file

   --fileboxes, -F
          classes  are  put  in  boxes which represents files, where these
          classes reside. Classes shared between more than  one  file  are
          shown  with list of files that sharing them.  Silently discarded
          if --diagram is not given Experimental.

   --fmt, -f  formatname
          set the output formatter (see below).

   --help, -h
          print usage.

   --help-output, -O
          explain the various output options.

   --image-format, -I  gif|png|jpg|jpeg
          sets output image format for diagrams. Can be  png,  gif,  jpeg,
          jpg. If this option is omitted, png is used. Requires --diagram.

   --include, -i  dir[,dir...]
          set  (or  add  to)  the  list of directories to be searched when
          satisfying :include: requests. Can be used more than once.

   --inline-source, -S
          show method source code inline, rather than via a popup link.

   --line-numbers, -N
          include line numbers in the source code

   --main, -m  name
          name will be the initial page displayed.

   --merge, -M
          when creating ri output, merge processed classes into previously
          documented classes of the name name.

   --one-file, -1
          put all the output into a single file.

   --op, -o  dir
          set the output directory.

   --opname, -n  name
          set the name of the output. Has no effect for HTML.

   --promiscuous, -p
          When  documenting  a  file  that contains a module or class also
          defined in other files, show all stuff for that module/class  in
          each  files  page.  By  default, only show stuff defined in that
          particular file.

   --quiet, -q
          don't show progress as we parse.

   --ri, -r
          generate output for use by 'ri.' The files  are  stored  in  the
          '.rdoc' directory under your home directory unless overridden by
          a subsequent  --op  parameter,  so  no  special  privileges  are
          needed.

   --ri-site, -R
          generate  output  for  use  by  'ri.'  The files are stored in a
          site-wide  directory,  making  them  accessible  to  others,  so
          special privileges are needed.

   --ri-system, -Y
          generate  output  for  use  by  'ri.'  The files are stored in a
          system-level directory, making them  accessible  to  others,  so
          special  privileges  are  needed.  This option is intended to be
          used during Ruby installations.

   --show-hash, -H
          a name of the form #name in a comment is a possible hyperlink to
          an  instance  method  name.  When  displayed, the '#' is removed
          unless this option is specified.

   --style, -s  stylesheet-url
          specifies the URL of a separate stylesheet.

   --tab-width, -w  n
          set the width of tab characters (default 8).

   --template, -T  template-name
          set the template used when generating output.

   --title, -t  text
          set text as the title for the output.

   --version, -v
          display  RDoc's version.

   --webcvs, -W  url
          specify a URL for linking to a web frontend to CVS. If  the  URL
          contains a contain a '%s', the filename will be appended to it.

                               July 2014                        RDOC2.3(1)





Opportunity


Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.





Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.


Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.





Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.


Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.





Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.


Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
