libripgrep is not any one library, but rather, a collection of libraries that roughly separate the following key distinct phases in a grep implementation: 1. Pattern matching (e.g., by a regex engine). 2. Searching a file using a pattern matcher. 3. Printing results. Ultimately, both (1) and (3) are defined by de-coupled interfaces, of which there may be multiple implementations. Namely, (1) is satisfied by the `Matcher` trait in the `grep-matcher` crate and (3) is satisfied by the `Sink` trait in the `grep2` crate. The searcher (2) ties everything together and finds results using a matcher and reports those results using a `Sink` implementation. Closes #162

grep-matcher
This crate provides a low level interface for describing regular expression
matchers. The grep crate uses this interface in order to make the regex
engine it uses pluggable.
Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.
Documentation
NOTE: You probably don't want to use this crate directly. Instead, you
should prefer the facade defined in the
grep
crate.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
grep-matcher = "0.1"
and this to your crate root:
extern crate grep_matcher;
