module RI

  # Encapsulate all the strangeness to do with finding out
  # where to find RDoc files
  #
  # We basically deal with three directories:
  #
  # 1. The 'system' documentation directory, which holds
  #    the documentation distributed with Ruby, and which
  #    is managed by the Ruby install process
  # 2. The 'site' directory, which contains site-wide
  #    documentation added locally.
  # 3. The 'user' documentation directory, stored under the
  #    user's own home directory.
  #
  # There's contention about all this, but for now:
  #
  # system:: $datadir/ri/<ver>/system/...
  # site::   $datadir/ri/<ver>/site/...
  # user::   ~/.rdoc
