Bug #1691: ruby --help doesn't display the "skip rubygems" option
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1691

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: 1.9.2

I believe in trunk there is an option to *not* load rubygems. 
Unfortunately I can't tell for sure, since ruby --help hasn't been 
updated to mention the new option.
Thanks!

Issue #1691 has been updated by Run Paint Run Run.

File ruby.c-help.patch added

Looks like just `--disable=gems`. Patch attached to update the help.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

ruby --help does not mention some options so that the output can be 
displayed on a traditional character display at once.

Hmm.  Perhaps I should mutate my request into a request for a command 
line parameter to display all options [verbose help output] then?

Many users without being able to see an option through some command line 
option will never know of its existence.

Thoughts?

They can read the manpage ruby.1. But it may be insufficient for windows
users.

The limitation of the number of lines in --help is because of matz's
policy. What do you think, matz?
