== DESCRIPTION:

RVM is the Ruby Version Manager (rvm). It manages Ruby interpreter
environments and switching between them.

== Usage

  rvm [Flags] [Options] Action [Implementation[,Implementation[,...]]

== Flags

  --default     - with 'rvm use X', sets the default ruby for new shells to X.
  --debug       - Toggle debug mode on for very verbose output.
  --trace       - Toggle trace mode on to see EVERYTHING rvm is doing.
  --force       - Force install, removes old install & source before install.
  --summary     - Used with rubydo to print out a summary of the commands run.
  --latest      - with gemset --dump skips version strings for latest gem.
  --gems        - with uninstall/remove removes gems with the interpreter.
  --docs        - with install, attempt to generate ri after installation.
  --reconfigure - Force ./configure on install even if Makefile already exists.

== Options

  -v|--version    - Emit rvm version loaded for current shell
  -l|--level      - patch level to use with rvm use / install
     --prefix     - path for all rvm files (~/.rvm/), with trailing slash!
     --bin        - path for binaries to be placed (~/.rvm/bin/)
  -S              - Specify a script file to attempt to load and run (rubydo)
  -e              - Execute code from the command line.
  --gems          - Used to set the 'gems_flag', use with 'remove' to remove gems
  --archive       - Used to set the 'archive_flag', use with 'remove' to remove archive
  --patch         - With MRI Rubies you may specify one or more full paths to patches
                    for multiple, specify comma separated:
                    --patch /.../.../a.patch[%prefix],/.../.../.../b.patch
                    'prefix' is an optional argument, which will be bypassed
                    to the '-p' argument of the 'patch' command. It is separated
                    from patch file name with '%' symbol.
  -C|--configure  - custom configure options. If you need to pass several configure
                    options then append them comma separated: -C --...,--...,--...
  --nice          - process niceness (for slow computers, default 0)
  --ree-options   - Options passed directly to ree's './installer' on the command line.
  --with-rubies   - Specifies a string for rvm to attempt to expand for set operations.

== Action

  (Note that for most actions, 'rvm help action-name' may provide more information.)

  * usage    - show this usage information
  version    - show the rvm version installed in rvm_path
  use        - setup current shell to use a specific ruby version
  reload     - reload rvm source itself (useful after changing rvm source)
  implode    - (seppuku) removes the rvm installation completely.
               This means everything in $rvm_path (~/.rvm).
               This does not touch your profiles, which is why
               there is an if around the sourcing scripts/rvm.
  get        - {head,latest} upgrades rvm to latest head or release version.
               (If you experience bugs try this first with head version, then
                ask for help in #rvm on irc.freenode.net and hang around)
  reset      - remove current and stored default & system settings.
               (If you experience odd behavior try this second)
  info       - show the *current* environment information for current ruby
  current    - print the *current* ruby version and the name of any gemset being used.
  debug      - show info plus additional information for common issues

  install    - install one or many ruby versions
               See also: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rubies/installing/
  uninstall  - uninstall one or many ruby versions, leaves their sources
  remove     - uninstall one or many ruby versions and remove their sources

  migrate    - Lets you migrate all gemsets from one ruby to another.
  upgrade    - Lets you upgrade from one version of a ruby to another, including
               migrating your gemsets semi-automatically.

  wrapper    - generates a set of wrapper executables for a given ruby with the
               specified ruby and gemset combination. Used under the hood for
               passenger support and the like.

  cleanup    - Lets you remove stale source folders / archives and other miscellaneous
               data associated with rvm.
  repair     - Lets you repair parts of your environment e.g. wrappers, env files and
               and similar files (e.g. general maintenance).
  snapshot   - Lets your backup / restore an rvm installation in a lightweight manner.

  disk-usage - Tells you how much disk space rvm install is using.
  tools      - Provides general information about the ruby environment,
               primarily useful when scripting rvm.
  docs       - Tools to make installing ri and rdoc documentation easier.
  rvmrc      - Tools related to managing rvmrc trust and loading.

  exec       - runs an arbitrary command as a set operation.
  ruby       - runs a named ruby file against specified and/or all rubies
  gem        - runs a gem command using selected ruby's 'gem'
  rake       - runs a rake task against specified and/or all rubies
  tests      - runs 'rake test' across selected ruby versions
  specs      - runs 'rake spec' across selected ruby versions
  monitor    - Monitor cwd for testing, run `rake {spec,test}` on changes.

  gemset     - gemsets: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/gemsets/

  rubygems   - Switches the installed version of rubygems for the current ruby.

  gemdir     - display the path to the current gem directory (GEM_HOME).
  srcdir     - display the path to rvm source directory (may be yanked)

  fetch      - Performs an archive / src fetch only of the selected ruby.
  list       - show currently installed rubies, interactive output.
               http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rubies/list/
  package    - Install a dependency package {readline,iconv,zlib,openssl}
               http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/
  notes      - Display notes, with operating system specifics.

  export     - Temporarily set an environment variable in the current shell.
  unexport   - Undo changes made to the environment by 'rvm export'.

== Implementation

  * ruby    - MRI/YARV Ruby (The Gold Standard) {1.8.6,1.8.7,1.9.1,1.9.2...}
  jruby     - JRuby, Ruby interpreter on the Java Virtual Machine.
  rbx       - Rubinius
  ree       - Ruby Enterprise Edition, MRI Ruby with several custom
              patches for performance, stability, and memory.
  macruby   - MacRuby, insanely fast, can make real apps (Mac OS X Only).
  maglev    - GemStone Ruby, awesome persistent ruby object store.
  ironruby  - IronRuby, NOT supported yet. Looking for volunteers to help.
  system    - use the system ruby (eg. pre-rvm state)
  default   - use rvm set default ruby and system if it hasn't been set.
