The result of running `ls --help` in Pry

Pry ls command

[14] (pry) main: 0> ls -h
Usage: ls [-m|-M|-p|-pM] [-q|-v] [-c|-i] [Object]
       ls [-g] [-l]

ls shows you which methods, constants and variables are accessible to Pry. By default it shows you the local variables defined in the current shell, and any public methods or instance variables defined on the current object.

The colours used are configurable using Pry.config.ls.*_color, and the separator is Pry.config.ls.separator.

Pry.config.ls.ceiling is used to hide methods defined higher up in the inheritance chain, this is by default set to [Object, Module, Class] so that methods defined on all Objects are omitted. The -v flag can be used to ignore this setting and show all methods, while the -q can be used to set the ceiling much lower and show only methods defined on the object or its direct class.


options:

    -m, --methods               Show public methods defined on the Object (default)
    -M, --instance-methods      Show methods defined in a Module or Class
    -p, --ppp                   Show public, protected (in yellow) and private (in green) methods
    -q, --quiet                 Show only methods defined on object.singleton_class and object.class
    -v, --verbose               Show methods and constants on all super-classes (ignores Pry.config.ls.ceiling)
    -g, --globals               Show global variables, including those builtin to Ruby (in cyan)
    -l, --locals                Show locals, including those provided by Pry (in red)
    -c, --constants             Show constants, highlighting classes (in blue), and exceptions (in purple)
    -i, --ivars                 Show instance variables (in blue) and class variables (in bright blue)
    -G, --grep                  Filter output by regular expression
    -h, --help                  Show this message.

line breaks would be super helpful when viewing this on github
