name=value Set the variable named name to the given string value.
Filepaths:
The erb program reads the text from all files at the filepaths as a single ERB template:
plain text, possibly with embedded ERB tags;
filepaths may be repeated.
The pseudo-filepath '-' (hyphen character) specifies the standard input.
If no filepaths are given, the sole input is the standard input.
