DESCRIPTION
     These are various helper programs that are part of the RubyGems distribution, a sophisticated package
     manager for the Ruby programming language.

     For more information about a specific program, you can use its --help flag. There is also online docu-mentation documentation
     mentation available at "http://docs.rubygems.org".

     gem is the main interface to the RubyGems packaging system.

     gem_server is a tool to serve your entire set of installed gems to anyone.

     gemlock generates a series of require_gem commands that will lock down an application or library to a
     particular version of their dependent gem.

     gemri acts as a wrapper for the ri(1) command to read gems RI documentation.

     gemwhich is a script that behaves like the which(1) command for ruby libraries and gem repositories.

     index_gem_repository.rb generates index files for your RubyGems server.

     update_rubygems is an internal script used to update RubyGems.
