As has been mentioned already, the body of the script file is what in
Java is your "main" method.  Arguments are in ARGV, i.e. you can do

ARGV.each do |arg|
  puts arg
end

You can as well read from ARGV - which is a kind of IO that combines
all file names on the command line.  A simple "cat" replacement looks
like this:

ARGV.each do |line|
  puts line
end

Kind regards
