Ubygems.rb file - is error?

Hi, I just installed Rails, and I was wondering what is this file?
/lib/ubygems.rb ?

Here is a copy of it:

rubygems/rubygems/blob/master/lib/ubygems.rb

# frozen_string_literal: true
# This file allows for the running of rubygems with a nice
# command line look-and-feel: ruby -rubygems foo.rb
#--

# TODO: Remove this file at RubyGems 4.0
# Based by https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14322#note-4
warn "`ubygems.rb' is deprecated, and will be removed on or after 2018-12-01. Remove `-rubygems' from your command-line, or use `-r rubygems' instead"

require 'rubygems'

Is this a bug/type (ubygems rather than what it should be, ubygems) or
is it supposed to be that way? If so, what does it do, could someone
explain how it works? (sorry if it’s a dumb question I’m new at this!)

Thanks

It’s just a copy of the rubygems.rb file and allows you to require
rubygems from the command line with either:

ruby -rrubygems …

or

ruby -rubygems …

just so it reads a little better.
