−-version

−I path
Same as ‘ruby -I’ . Specifies $LOAD_PATH directory
−U |
Same as ‘ruby -U’ . Sets the default value for internal encodings ("Encoding.default_internal") to UTF-8. | ||
−d |
Same as ‘ruby -d’ . Sets $DEBUG to true. | ||
−f |

IRB_LANG
The locale used for .
IRBRC |
The path to the personal initialization file. |
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
irb respects XDG_CONFIG_HOME. If this is set, load $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/irb/irbrc as a personal initialization file.
Also irb depends on same variables as ruby(1).
˜/.irbrc
Personal irb initialization. If IRBRC is set, read $IRBRC instead. If IRBRC is not set and XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/irb/irbrc is loaded.
