Ruby Forum Ruby > Generating core documentation

Following the discussion about the problems of the documentation for 
ruby core
available on www.ruby-doc.org, I've tried to understand exactly which of 
the
files in the ruby source distribution contain classes/methods of the 
core.
From my investigation, these files are:

numeric.c
gc.c
io.c
re.c
range.c
variable.c
dir.c
signal.c
marshal.c
error.c
compar.c
enum.c
file.c
eval.c
random.c
hash.c
math.c
pack.c
prec.c
time.c
process.c
object.c
sprintf.c
parse.y
array.c
version.c
string.c
bignum.c
struct.c
class.c

NOTE: the methods I used to select the files which belong to the core 
from
those which don't are *extremely* naive, so there can be some missing or 
extra
files (in particular, the following files may be missing: dln.c, 
dmydln.c,
dmyext.c, inits.c, lex.c, main.c, parse.c, regex.c, ruby.c, st.c, 
util.c. I
looked at them, but they didn't seem to contain ruby classes or methods, 
and
no class in the generated documentation pointed to them, so I decided to
remove them).

To get the documentation for only the core of ruby, download the ruby 
source
from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/, extract it and run rdoc on 
the
files mentioned above (they're only in the toplevel directory).
