NAME
       rvm - The Ruby Version Manager

SYNOPSIS
       rvm [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] ACTION [IMPLEMENTATION[,IMPLEMENTATION[,...]]

DESCRIPTION
       RVM is a command line tool which allows us to easily install, manage and work with multiple ruby environments from
       interpreters to sets of gems.

FLAGS
       --head
           with update, updates rvm to git head version.

       --rubygems
           with update, updates rubygems for selected ruby

       --default
           with ruby select, sets a default ruby for new shells.

       --debug
           Toggle debug mode on for very verbose output.

       --trace
           Toggle trace mode on to see EVERYTHING rvm is doing.

       --force
           Force install, removes old install & source before install.

       --summary
           Used with rubydo to print out a summary of the commands run.

       --latest
           with gemset --dump skips version strings for latest gem.

       --gems
           with uninstall/remove removes gems with the interpreter.

       --docs
           with install, attempt to generate ri after installation.

       --reconfigure
           Force ./configure on install even if Makefile already exists.

OPTIONS
       -v, --version
           Emit rvm version loaded for current shell.

       -l, --level
           patch level to use with rvm use / install

       --bin
           path for binaries to be placed (~/.rvm/bin/)

       --source
           src directory to use (~/.rvm/src/)

       --archives
           directory for downloaded files (~/.rvm/archives/)

       -S
           Specify a script file to attempt to load and run (rubydo).

       -e
           Execute code from the command line.

       -G
           root gem path to use

       --gems
           Used to set the gems_flag, use with remove to remove gems.

       --archive
           Used to set the archive_flag, use with remove to remove archive.

       --patch, --patches
           With any ruby build from source, allows you to specify patch paths and patch names to be applied prior to building.
           Values should be a relative / absolute path to a patch or the name of known patch / patchset. Optionally, paths or names
           may be followed by %someinteger - e.g.  --patches mypatch%2 - where the number following the % specifies the value of
           the -p argument to patch, defaulting to two.

       -C, --configure
           custom configure options. If you need to pass several configure options then append them comma separated: -C
           --...,--...,--....

       --nice
           process niceness (for slow computers, default 0)

       --ree-options
           Options passed directly to ree’s ./installer on the command line.

ACTIONS
       version
           Show the rvm version installed in rvm_path.

       use
           Setup current shell to use a specific ruby version.

       reload
           Reload rvm source itself (useful after changing rvm source).

       do
           Executes the command against either all or a listed subset of rubies. eg. rvm do gem --version ; rvm 1.8.7,1.9.2 do rake
           --version

       env
           Displays information about an environment specified but the given ruby string. Useful for getting a sourceable path or
           an evaluatable set of shell variable declarations.

       implode
           (seppuku) removes the rvm installation completely. This means everything in $rvm_path (~/.rvm). This does not touch your
           profiles. However, this means that you must manually clean up your profiles and remove the lines which source RVM.
           scripts/rvm.

       update
           Upgrades rvm to the latest version. (If you experience bugs try this first with --head).

           section will be shown..
