erb is a command line front-end for "ERB" library, which is an implementation of eRuby.

ERB provides an easy to use but powerful templating system for Ruby. Using ERB, actual Ruby code can be added to any plain text document for the purposes of generating document information details and/or flow control.

erb is a part of Ruby.

−-version

−E external[:internal]
−-encoding

You can omit the one for internal encodings, then the value ("Encoding.default_internal") will be nil.

−P

Disables ruby code evaluation for lines beginning with "%".

−S level

Specifies the safe level in which eRuby script will run.

−T mode

Specifies trim mode (default 0). mode can be one of

0

EOL remains after the embedded ruby script is evaluated.

EXAMPLES

Here is an eRuby script

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<% require ’prime’ -%>
<erb-example>
<calc><%= 1+1 %></calc>
<var><%= __FILE__ %></var>
<library><%= Prime.each(10).to_a.join(", ") %></library>
</erb-example>

Command
"% erb -T - example.erb"
prints

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<erb-example>
<calc>2</calc>
<var>example.erb</var>
