Man page

man ri is missing these options:

--[no-]interactive
--[no-]list-doc-dirs
-a, --[no-]all
-l, --[no-]list
    --server [PORT]
-v
--help

It lists two options that don't exist

--fmt
--[no-]use-cache

It lists the formats incorrectly as

ansi, bs, html, plain, simple

They should be:

ansi bs markdown rdoc

Help screen

ri --help is missing these options:

--help
--version
-v
-h

Invalid options print the help screen and an error message.
But -h prints neither. Instead it enters interactive mode.
Whatever it's doing, it's not documented anywhere.
