Where is the per-method documentation for ruby

Question

I am looking for the primary documentation for ruby functions. As in, the full documentation for the system command.

For example, I have seen one guy who is using the system command with redirection arguments at Running a command from Ruby displaying and capturing the output but someone else who doesn't know that this exists Getting output of system() calls in Ruby

I don't care about the answer to that specific question, but when I search https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ which seems authoritative, all I can find are links to third party "guides" or conceptual learning resources. What I need is the ruby equivalent of PHP's function reference at https://php.net/manual/en/funcref.php Or perldoc -f for perl.

http://ruby-doc.org. `system` is a Kernel method, so http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Kernel.html#method-i-system — Michael Berkowski, Apr 08 '15 at 19:33
ruby-doc.org is the target of the first few links under the "Reference Documentation" section at https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ — Michael Berkowski, Apr 08 '15 at 19:35

Packages are organized into "core" and "std-lib".

For example, here is the documentation for the Kernel#system method.
