+Customizing Pry
+---------------
+
+Pry supports customization of the input, the output, the commands,
+the hooks, the prompt, and the 'print' object (the "P" in REPL).
+
+Global customization, which applies to all Pry sessions, is done
+through invoking class accessors on the `Pry` class, the accessors
+are:
+
+* `Pry.input=`
+* `Pry.output=`
+* `Pry.commands=`
+* `Pry.hooks=`
+* `Pry.prompt=`
+* `Pry.print=`
+
+Local customization (applied to a single Pry session) is done by
+passing config hash options to `Pry.start()` or to `Pry.new()`; also the
+same accessors as described above for the `Pry` class exist for a
+Pry instance so that customization can occur at runtime.
+
+### Input
+
+For input Pry accepts any object that implements the `readline` method. This
+includes `IO` objects, `StringIO`, `Readline`, `File` and custom objects. Pry
+initially defaults to using `Readline` for input.
+
+#### Example: Setting global input
+
+Setting Pry's global input causes all subsequent Pry instances to use
+this input by default:
+
+    Pry.input = StringIO.new("@x = 10\nexit")
+    Object.pry
+
+    Object.instance_variable_get(:@x) #=> 10
+
+The above will execute the code in the `StringIO`
+non-interactively. It gets all the input it needs from the `StringIO`
+and then exits the Pry session. Note it is important to end the
+session with 'exit' if you are running non-interactively or the Pry
+session will hang as it loops indefinitely awaiting new input.
+
+#### Example: Setting input for a specific session
+
+The settings for a specific session override the global settings
+(discussed above). There are two ways to set input for a specific pry session: At the
+point the session is started, or within the session itself (at runtime):
+
+##### At session start
+
+    Pry.start(Object, :input => StringIO.new("@x = 10\nexit"))
+    Object.instance_variable_get(:@x) #=> 10
+
+##### At runtime
+
+If you want to set the input object within the session itself you use
+the special `_pry_` local variable which represents the Pry instance
+managing the current session; inside the session we type:
+
+    _pry_.input = StringIO.new("@x = 10\nexit")
+
+Note we can also set the input object for the parent Pry session (if
+the current session is nested) like so:
+
+    _pry_.parent.input = StringIO.new("@x = 10\nexit")
+
+### Output
+
+For output Pry accepts any object that implements the `puts` method. This
+includes `IO` objects, `StringIO`, `File` and custom objects. Pry initially
+defaults to using `$stdout` for output.
+
+#### Example: Setting global output
+
+Setting Pry's global output causes all subsequent Pry instances to use
+this output by default:
+
+    Pry.output = StringIO.new
+
+#### Example: Setting output for a specific session
+
+As per Input, given above, we set the local output as follows:
+
+##### At session start
+
+    Pry.start(Object, :output => StringIO.new("@x = 10\nexit"))
+
+##### At runtime
+    
+    _pry_.output = StringIO.new
+
+### Commands
+
+Pry commands are not methods; they are commands that are intercepted
+and executed before a Ruby eval takes place. Pry comes with a default
+command set (`Pry::Commands`), but these commands can be augmented or overriden by
+user-specified ones.
+
+The Pry command API is quite sophisticated supporting features such as:
+command set inheritance, importing of specific commands from another
+command set, deletion of commands, calling of commands within other
+commands, and so on.
+
+A valid Pry command object must inherit from
+`Pry::CommandBase` (or one of its subclasses) and use the special command API:
+
+#### Example: Defining a command object and setting it globally
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::CommandBase
+      command "greet", "Greet the user." do |name, age|
+        output.puts "Hello #{name.capitalize}, how does it feel being #{age}?"
+      end
+    end
+
+    Pry.commands = MyCommands
+
+Then inside a pry session:
+
+    pry(main)> greet john 9
+    Hello John, how does it feel being 9?
+    => nil
+
+#### Example: Using a command object in a specific session
+
+As in the case of `input` and `output`:
+
+##### At session start:
+
+    Pry.start(self, :commands => MyCommands)
+
+##### At runtime:
+
+    _pry_.commands = MyCommands
+
+#### The command API
+
+The command API is defined by the `Pry::CommandBase` class (hence why
+all commands must inherit from it or a subclass). The API works as follows:
+
+##### `command` method
+
+The `command` method defines a new command, its parameter is the
+name of the command and an optional second parameter is a description of
+the command.
+
+The associated block defines the action to be performed. The number of
+parameters in the block determine the number of parameters that will
+be sent to the command (from the Pry prompt) when it is invoked. Note
+that all parameters that are received will be strings; if a parameter
+is not received it will be set to `nil`.
+
+    command "hello" do |x, y, z|
+      puts "hello there #{x}, #{y}, and #{z}!"
+    end
+
+Command aliases can also be defined - simply use an array of strings
+for the command name - all these strings will be valid names for the
+command.
+
+    command ["ls", "dir"], "show a list of local vars" do
+      output.puts target.eval("local_variables")
+    end
+
+##### `delete` method
+
+The `delete` method deletes a command or a group of commands. It
+can be useful when inheriting from another command set and you wish
+to keep only a portion of the inherited commands.
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::Commands
+      delete "show_method", "show_imethod"
+    end
+
+##### `import_from` method
+
+The `import_from` method enables you to specifically select which
+commands will be copied across from another command set, useful when
+you only want a small number of commands and so inheriting and then
+deleting would be inefficient. The first parameter to `import_from`
+is the class to import from and the other paramters are the names of
+the commands to import:
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::CommandBase
+      import_from Pry::Commands, "ls", "status", "!"
+    end
+
+##### `run` method
+
+The `run` command invokes one command from within another.
+The first parameter is the name of the command to invoke
+and the remainder of the parameters will be passed on to the command
+being invoked:
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::Commands
+      command "ls_with_hello" do
+        output.puts "hello!"
+        run "ls"
+      end
+    end
+
+##### `alias_command` method
+
+The `alias_command` method creates an alias of a command. The first
+parameter is the name of the new command, the second parameter is the
+name of the command to be aliased; an optional third parameter is the
+description to use for the alias. If no description is provided then
+the description of the original command is used.
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::Commands
+      alias_command "help2", "help", "An alias of help"
+    end
+
+##### `desc` method
+
+The `desc` method is used to give a command a new description. The
+first parameter is the name of the command, the second parameter is
+the description.
+
+    class MyCommands < Pry::Commands
+      desc "ls", "a new description"
+    end
+
+#### Utility methods for commands
+
+All commands can access the special `output` and `target` methods. The
+`output` method returns the `output` object for the active pry session.
+Ensuring that your commands invoke `puts` on this rather than using
+the top-level `puts` will ensure that all your session output goes to
+the same place.
+
+The `target` method returns the `Binding` object the Pry session is currently
+active on - useful when your commands need to manipulate or examine
+the state of the object. E.g, the "ls" command is implemented as follows
+
+    command "ls" do
+      output.puts target.eval("local_variables + instance_variables").inspect
+    end
+
+#### The opts hash
+
+These are miscellaneous variables that may be useful to your commands:
+
+* `opts[:val]` - The line of input that invoked the command.
+* `opts[:eval_string]` - The cumulative lines of input for multi-line input.
+* `opts[:nesting]` - Lowlevel session nesting information.
+* `opts[:commands]` - Lowlevel data of all Pry commands.
+
+(see commands.rb for examples of how some of these options are used)
+
+#### The `help` command
+
+The `Pry::CommandBase` class automatically defines a `help` command
+for you. Typing `help` in a Pry session will show a list of commands
+to the user followed by their descriptions. Passing a parameter to
+`help` with the command name will just return the description of that
+specific command. If a description is left out it will automatically
+be given the description "No description.".
+
+If the description is explicitly set to `""` then this command will
+not be displayed in `help`.
+
+### Hooks
+
+Currently Pry supports just two hooks: `before_session` and
+`after_session`. These hooks are invoked before a Pry session starts
+and after a session ends respectively. The default hooks used are
+stored in the `Pry::DEFAULT_HOOKS` and just output the text `"Beginning
+Pry session for <obj>"` and `"Ending Pry session for <obj>"`.
+
+#### Example: Setting global hooks
+
+All subsequent Pry instances will use these hooks as default:
+
+    Pry.hooks = {
+      :before_session => proc { |out, obj| out.puts "Opened #{obj}" },
+      :after_session => proc { |out, obj| out.puts "Closed #{obj}" }
+    }
+
+    5.pry
+
+Inside the session:
+
+    Opened 5
+    pry(5)> exit
+    Closed 5
+
+Note that the `before_session` and `after_session` procs receive the
+current session's output object and session receiver as parameters.
+
+#### Example: Setting hooks for a specific session
+
+Like all the other customization options, the global default (as
+explained above) can be overriden for a specific session, either at
+session start or during runtime.
+
+##### At session start
+
+    Pry.start(self, :hooks => { :before_session => proc { puts "hello world!" },
+                                :after_session => proc { puts "goodbye world!" }
+                              })
+
+##### At runtime
+
+    _pry_.hooks = { :before_session => proc { puts "puts "hello world!" } }
+
+### Prompts
+
+The Pry prompt is used by `Readline` and other input objects that
+accept a prompt. Pry can accept two prompt-types for every prompt; the
+'main prompt' and the 'wait prompt'. The main prompt is always used
+for the first line of input; the wait prompt is used in multi-line
+input to indicate that the current expression is incomplete and more lines of
+input are required. The default Prompt used by Pry is stored in the
+`Pry::DEFAULT_PROMPT` constant.
+
+A valid Pry prompt is either a single `Proc` object or a two element
+array of `Proc` objects. When an array is used the first element is
+the 'main prompt' and the last element is the 'wait prompt'. When a
+single `Proc` object is used it will be used for both the main prompt
+and the wait prompt.
+
+#### Example: Setting global prompt
+
+The prompt `Proc` objects are passed the receiver of the Pry session
+and the nesting level of that session as parameters (they can simply
+ignore these if they do not need them).
+
+    # Using one proc for both main and wait prompts
+    Pry.prompt = proc { |obj, nest_level| "#{obj}:#{nest_level}> " }
+
+    # Alternatively, provide two procs; one for main and one for wait
+    Pry.prompt = [ proc { "ENTER INPUT> " }, proc { "MORE INPUT REQUIRED!* " }]
+
+#### Example: Setting the prompt for a specific session
+
+##### At session start
+
+    Pry.start(self, :prompt => [proc { "ENTER INPUT> " },
+                                proc { "MORE INPUT REQUIRED!* " }])
+
+##### At runtime
+
+    _pry_.prompt = [proc { "ENTER INPUT> " },
+                    proc { "MORE INPUT REQUIRED!* " }]
+
+### Print
+
+The Print phase of Pry's READ-EVAL-PRINT-LOOP can be customized. The
+default action is stored in the `Pry::DEFAULT_PRINT` constant and it
+simply outputs the value of the current expression preceded by a `=>` (or the first
+line of the backtrace if the value is an `Exception` object.)
+
+The print object should be a `Proc` and the parameters passed to the
+`Proc` are the output object for the current session and the 'value'
+returned by the current expression.
+
+#### Example: Setting global print object
+
+Let's define a print object that displays the full backtrace of any
+exception and precedes the output of a value by the text `"Output is: "`:
+
+    Pry.print = proc do |output, value|
+                  case value
+                  when Exception
+                    output.puts value.backtrace
+                  else
+                    output.puts "Output is: #{value}"
+                  end
+                end
+
+#### Example: Setting the print object for a specific session
+
+##### At session start
+
+    Pry.start(self, :print => proc do |output, value|
+                                case value
+                                when Exception
+                                  output.puts value.backtrace
+                                else
+                                  output.puts "Output is: #{value.inspect}"
+                                end
+                              end)
+
+##### At runtime
+
+    _pry_.print =  proc do |output, value|
+                     case value
+                     when Exception
+                       output.puts value.backtrace
+                     else
+                       output.puts "Output is: #{value.inspect}"
+                     end
+                   end
