crates: remove hard-coded links
And use rustdoc's native intra-crate links. So much nicer.

# Brief overview
|
||||
|
||||
The principle type in this crate is a
|
||||
[`Searcher`](struct.Searcher.html),
|
||||
which can be configured and built by a
|
||||
[`SearcherBuilder`](struct.SearcherBuilder.html).
|
||||
A `Searcher` is responsible for reading bytes from a source (e.g., a file),
|
||||
executing a search of those bytes using a `Matcher` (e.g., a regex) and then
|
||||
reporting the results of that search to a
|
||||
[`Sink`](trait.Sink.html)
|
||||
(e.g., stdout). The `Searcher` itself is principally responsible for managing
|
||||
the consumption of bytes from a source and applying a `Matcher` over those
|
||||
bytes in an efficient way. The `Searcher` is also responsible for inverting
|
||||
a search, counting lines, reporting contextual lines, detecting binary data
|
||||
and even deciding whether or not to use memory maps.

|
||||
|
||||
A `Matcher` (which is defined in the
|
||||
[`grep-matcher`](https://crates.io/crates/grep-matcher)
|
||||
crate) is a trait for describing the lowest levels of pattern search in a
|
||||
generic way. The interface itself is very similar to the interface of a regular
|
||||
expression. For example, the
|
||||
[`grep-regex`](https://crates.io/crates/grep-regex)
|
||||
[`grep-matcher`](https://crates.io/crates/grep-matcher) crate) is a trait
|
||||
for describing the lowest levels of pattern search in a generic way. The
|
||||
interface itself is very similar to the interface of a regular expression.
|
||||
For example, the [`grep-regex`](https://crates.io/crates/grep-regex)
|
||||
crate provides an implementation of the `Matcher` trait using Rust's
|
||||
[`regex`](https://crates.io/crates/regex)
|
||||
crate.
|
||||
[`regex`](https://crates.io/crates/regex) crate.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, a `Sink` describes how callers receive search results producer by a
|
||||
`Searcher`. This includes routines that are called at the beginning and end of
|
||||
a search, in addition to routines that are called when matching or contextual
|
||||
lines are found by the `Searcher`. Implementations of `Sink` can be trivially
|
||||
simple, or extraordinarily complex, such as the
|
||||
`Standard` printer found in the
|
||||
[`grep-printer`](https://crates.io/crates/grep-printer)
|
||||
crate, which effectively implements grep-like output.
|
||||
This crate also provides convenience `Sink` implementations in the
|
||||
[`sinks`](sinks/index.html)
|
||||
sub-module for easy searching with closures.

# Example
|

|
||||
This example shows how to execute the searcher and read the search results
|
||||
using the
|
||||
[`UTF8`](sinks/struct.UTF8.html)
|
||||
implementation of `Sink`.
|
||||
using the [`UTF8`](sinks::UTF8) implementation of `Sink`.
