I am running Ruby 1.8.5 on OpenBSD 4.1. and trying to access Ruby  
standard library documentation in manpage format but have not found  
any. I know I can access this via the website but I prefer not to and  
prefer manpages or similar form of documentation for offline browsing.  
I been trying to access the documentation on fileutils and typed rdoc  
in my console and it generated a bunch of HTML files and fileutils is  
included in ~/…/doc/classes but doesn’t give much information on it.  
Is there any way I could access these in manpage or any other  
plain-text format?

Thanks.
