Usage: ruby [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
   -0[octal] specify record separator (\0, if no argument)
   -a autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into $F)
   -c check syntax only
   -Cdirectory cd to directory, before executing your script
   -d set debugging flags (set $DEBUG to true)
   -e 'command' one line of script. Several -e's allowed. Omit [programfile]
   -Eencoding specifies the character encoding for the program codes
   -Fpattern split() pattern for autosplit (-a)
   -i[extension] edit ARGV files in place (make backup if extension supplied)
   -Idirectory specify $LOAD_PATH directory (may be used more than once)
   -l enable line ending processing
   -n assume 'while gets(); ... end' loop around your script
   -p assume loop like -n but print line also like sed
   -rlibrary require the library, before executing your script
   -s enable some switch parsing for switches after script name
   -S look for the script using PATH environment variable
   -T[level] turn on tainting checks
   -v print version number, then turn on verbose mode
   -w turn warnings on for your script
   -W[level] set warning level; 0=silence, 1=medium, 2=verbose (default)
   -x[directory] strip off text before #!ruby line and perhaps cd to directory
   --copyright print the copyright
   --version print the version
