Very basic newb Rake question

ruby-talk
1

I have a rakefile that was created automatically by NetBeans, and want to run just the rdoc task, which is of the form:

  Rake::RDocTask do |rdoc|
     ...
  end

However I have no idea what to invoke on the command line to execute just this task. Everything I try also seems to invoke the
SpecTask, which isn't well-defined since I don't have a spec directory (and don't even know what it's for). But it looks like
the RDocTask is self-contained, and so should be runnable on its own, if I simply know how.

Thanks in advance,
Ken

# This will list you all commands which the Rakefile in ./ know
$ rake -T

# Maybe that one?
$ rake rdoc
