Subject: [Q] How do you use Array#pack?

I know now that I need to use Array#pack, could someone please tell me 
where I can find documentation on it?

I'm not asking for one or two examples where I see it used.  I actually 
want to learn what this method does.  Pickaxe doesn't contain much.  Is 
there another resource?

In particular, I want to find a list of all the inputs that pack can take 
and what they mean.  What is "A3"?  What is "b*"? To me they look like 
random strings of characters.

I hope that someone can tell me where "The Fine Maual" is.
