If you don't like using the search feature of the user manual on the
site (with which it took me 30 seconds to find the relevant user manual
page), here's a direct link:

http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/vim2html2.pl?page=if_ruby.txt

My custom build of vim also contains the embedded ruby scripting, with
which I've manage to tie it in to several external programs, not the
least of which is xmms.  ;)
