We use '+++' syntax to output a literal '**' for a '--glob' example. This '+++' syntax is pretty ugly when rendered literally via --help. We fix this by hackily inserting the '+++' syntax for its one specific case that we need it during man page generation. Not ideal but it works. And --help still has some '*foo*' markup, but we live with that for now. Fixes #1581
ripgrep core
This is the core ripgrep crate. In particular, main.rs
is where the main
function lives.
Most of ripgrep core consists of two things:
- The definition of the CLI interface, including docs for every flag.
- Glue code that brings the
grep-matcher
,grep-regex
,grep-searcher
andgrep-printer
crates together to actually execute the search.
Currently, there are no plans to make ripgrep core available as an independent library. However, much of the heavy lifting of ripgrep is done via its constituent crates, which can be reused independent of ripgrep. Unfortunately, there is no guide or tutorial to teach folks how to do this yet.
