Override to provide details of the arguments a command takes. It should return a left-justified string, one argument per line.

end

def arguments
  "FILE          name of file to find"
end

What does this dependency require?

No documentation available

Does this dependency match the specification described by name and version or match spec?

NOTE: Unlike matches_spec? this method does not return true when the version is a prerelease version unless this is a prerelease dependency.

Factory method to create a Gem::Requirement object. Input may be a Version, a String, or nil. Intended to simplify client code.

If the input is “weird”, the default version requirement is returned.

Parse obj, returning an [op, version] pair. obj can be a String or a Gem::Version.

If obj is a String, it can be either a full requirement specification, like ">= 1.2", or a simple version number, like "1.2".

parse("> 1.0")                 # => [">", Gem::Version.new("1.0")]
parse("1.0")                   # => ["=", Gem::Version.new("1.0")]
parse(Gem::Version.new("1.0")) # => ["=,  Gem::Version.new("1.0")]

Concatenates the new requirements onto this requirement.

Factory method to create a Version object. Input may be a Version or a String. Intended to simplify client code.

ver1 = Version.create('1.3.17')   # -> (Version object)
ver2 = Version.create(ver1)       # -> (ver1)
ver3 = Version.create(nil)        # -> nil

A list of authors for this gem.

Alternatively, a single author can be specified by assigning a string to spec.author

Usage:

spec.authors = ['John Jones', 'Mary Smith']

Singular (alternative) writer for authors

Usage:

spec.author = 'John Jones'

The platform this gem runs on.

This is usually Gem::Platform::RUBY or Gem::Platform::CURRENT.

Most gems contain pure Ruby code; they should simply leave the default value in place. Some gems contain C (or other) code to be compiled into a Ruby “extension”. The gem should leave the default value in place unless the code will only compile on a certain type of system. Some gems consist of pre-compiled code (“binary gems”). It’s especially important that they set the platform attribute appropriately. A shortcut is to set the platform to Gem::Platform::CURRENT, which will cause the gem builder to set the platform to the appropriate value for the system on which the build is being performed.

If this attribute is set to a non-default value, it will be included in the filename of the gem when it is built such as: nokogiri-1.6.0-x86-mingw32.gem

Usage:

spec.platform = Gem::Platform.local

Lists the external (to RubyGems) requirements that must be met for this gem to work. It’s simply information for the user.

Usage:

spec.requirements << 'libmagick, v6.0'
spec.requirements << 'A good graphics card'

Return a list of all outdated local gem names. This method is HEAVY as it must go fetch specifications from the server.

Use outdated_and_latest_version if you wish to retrieve the latest remote version as well.

Activate this spec, registering it as a loaded spec and adding it’s lib paths to $LOAD_PATH. Returns true if the spec was activated, false if it was previously activated. Freaks out if there are conflicts upon activation.

Abbreviate the spec for downloading. Abbreviated specs are only used for searching, downloading and related activities and do not need deployment specific information (e.g. list of files). So we abbreviate the spec, making it much smaller for quicker downloads.
