Bug#90845: ITP: ri - Ruby Interactive reference
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
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.
