            #{name} [options]  [names...]

          Display information on Ruby classes, modules, and methods.
          Give the names of classes or methods to see their documentation.
          Partial names may be given: if the names match more than
          one entity, a list will be shown, otherwise details on
          that entity will be displayed.

          Nested classes and modules can be specified using the normal
          Name::Name notation, and instance methods can be distinguished
          from class methods using "." (or "#") instead of "::".

          For example:

              ri  File
              ri  File.new
              ri  F.n
              ri  zip

          Note that shell quoting may be required for method names
          containing punctuation:

              ri 'Array.[]'
              ri compact\\!

          By default ri searches for documentation in the following
          directories:

              #{directories}

          Specifying the --system, --site, --home, --gems or --doc-dir
          options will limit ri to searching only the specified
          directories.
