# RDoc::RI::Driver

The RI driver implements the command-line ri tool.

The driver supports:

- loading RI data from:

  - Ruby's standard library

  - RubyGems

  - ~/.rdoc

  - A user-supplied directory

- Paging output (uses RI_PAGER environment variable, PAGER environment variable or the less, more and pager programs)

- Interactive mode with tab-completion

- Abbreviated names (ri Zl shows Zlib documentation)

- Colorized output

- Merging output from multiple RI data sources

### Attributes

show_all[RW]

Show all method documentation following a class or module

stores[RW]

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

use_stdout[RW]

Controls the user of the pager vs $stdout

### Public Class Methods

default_options() click to toggle source

Default options for ri

                   # File rdoc/ri/driver.rb, line 77
    def self.default_options
      options = {}
      options[:interactive] = false

      options[:extra_doc_dirs] = []

      return options
    end

dump(data_path) click to toggle source

Dump `data_path` using pp

                   # File rdoc/ri/driver.rb, line 99
    def self.dump data_path
      require 'pp'

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

new(initial_options = {}) click to toggle source

Creates a new driver using `initial_options` from ::process_args

                   # File rdoc/ri/driver.rb, line 369
    def initialize initial_options = {}
      @paging = false
      @classes = nil

      options = self.class.default_options.update(initial_options)

      @formatter_klass = options[:formatter]

      require 'profile' if options[:profile]

      @names = options[:names]
      @list = options[:list]

      @doc_dirs = []
      @stores   = []

      RDoc::RI::Paths.each(options[:use_system], options[:use_site],
                           options[:use_home], options[:use_gems],
                           *options[:extra_doc_dirs]) do |path, type|
        @doc_dirs << path

        store = RDoc::RI::Store.new path, type
        store.load_cache
        @stores << store
      end

      @list_doc_dirs = options[:list_doc_dirs]

      @interactive = options[:interactive]
      @server      = options[:server]
      @use_stdout  = options[:use_stdout]
      @show_all    = options[:show_all]

      # pager process for jruby
      @jruby_pager_process = nil
    end

process_args(argv) click to toggle source

Parses `argv` and returns a Hash of options

                   # File rdoc/ri/driver.rb, line 110
      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 = <<-EOT
    Usage: #{opt.program_name} [options] [names...]

    Where name can be:

      Class | Module | Module::Class

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

      gem_name: | gem_name:README | gem_name:History

    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.

    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 ':' all files in the
    gem will be shown.  The file name extension may be omitted where it is
    unambiguous.

    For example:

        #{opt.program_name} Fil
        #{opt.program_name} File
        #{opt.program_name} File.new
        #{opt.program_name} zip
        #{opt.program_name} rdoc:README

    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.

    ri options may be set in the 'RI' environment variable.

    The ri pager can be set with the 'RI_PAGER' environment variable or the
    'PAGER' environment variable.
