Class: Gem::Command

Overview

Base class for all ::Gem commands. When creating a new gem command, define #initialize, #execute, #arguments, #defaults_str, #description and #usage (as appropriate). See the above mentioned methods for details.

A very good example to look at is Commands::ContentsCommand

RubyGems is a sophisticated package manager for Ruby.  This is a
basic help message containing pointers to more information.

Usage:
  gem -h/--help
  gem -v/--version
  gem command [arguments...] [options...]

Examples:
  gem install rake
  gem list --local
  gem build package.gemspec
  gem help install

Further help:
  gem help commands            list all 'gem' commands
  gem help examples            show some examples of usage
  gem help gem_dependencies    gem dependencies file guide
  gem help platforms           gem platforms guide
  gem help <COMMAND>           show help on COMMAND
                                 (e.g. 'gem help install')

Constructor Details

.new(command, summary = nil, defaults = {}) ⇒ Command

Initializes a generic gem command named #command. #summary is a short description displayed in gem help commands. #defaults are the default options. Defaults should be mirrored in #defaults_str, unless there are none.

When defining a new command subclass, use add_option to add command-line switches.

Unhandled arguments (gem names, files, etc.) are left in options[:args].
