 eruby(1)                                                 eruby(1)



 NAME
        eruby - Embedded Ruby Language

 SYNOPSIS
        eruby [options] [inputfile]

 DESCRIPTION
        eruby interprets a Ruby code embedded text file. For exam
        ple, eruby enables you to embed a  Ruby  code  to  a  HTML
        file.   A  Ruby block starts with `'.
        eRuby replaces the block with its output.  If `<%' is fol
        lowed by `=', eRuby replaces the block with a value of the
        block.  If `<%' is followed by `#', the block  is  ignored
        as a comment.

 OPTIONS
        -d, --debug
               set debugging flags (set $DEBUG to true)

        -Kkcode
               specifies KANJI (Japanese) code-set

        -Mmode specifies runtime mode
                   f: filter mode
                   c: CGI mode
                   n: NPH-CGI mode

        -C charset
               specifies charset parameter for Content-Type

        -n, --noheader
               disables CGI header output

        -v, --verbose
               enables verbose mode

yes, i think

a ok

2.6.15-git7 is big

it configured and compiled nicely for me but i included some of the new stuff
(experimental) and had a lockup soon, and poor lmbench and nbench results in some
areas yet improvements elsewhere. go figure. :) some nice features even now
