I originally did not put PathPrinter into grep-printer because I considered it somewhat extraneous to what a "grep" program does, and also that its implementation was rather simple. But now with hyperlink support, its implementation has grown a smidge more complicated. And more importantly, its existence required exposing a lot more of the hyperlink guts. Without it, we can keep things like HyperlinkPath and HyperlinkSpan completely private. We can now also keep `PrinterPath` completely private as well. And this is a breaking change.
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-searcherandgrep-printercrates 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.
