Edoardo Pirovano 6d95c130d5 cli: add --stop-on-nonmatch flag 
This causes ripgrep to stop searching an individual file after it has
found a non-matching line. But this only occurs after it has found a
matching line.

Fixes #1790, Closes #1930

// This module defines the set of command line arguments that ripgrep supports,
// including some light validation.
//
// This module is purposely written in a bare-bones way, since it is included
// in ripgrep's build.rs file as a way to generate a man page and completion
// files for common shells.
//
// The only other place that ripgrep deals with clap is in src/args.rs, which
// is where we read clap's configuration from the end user's arguments and turn
// it into a ripgrep-specific configuration type that is not coupled with clap.

DEPRECATED. Use --engine instead.
When this flag is used, ripgrep will dynamically choose between supported regex
engines depending on the features used in a pattern. When ripgrep chooses a
regex engine, it applies that choice for every regex provided to ripgrep (e.g.,
via multiple -e/--regexp or -f/--file flags).
As an example of how this flag might behave, ripgrep will attempt to use
its default finite automata based regex engine whenever the pattern can be
successfully compiled with that regex engine. If PCRE2 is enabled and if the
pattern given could not be compiled with the default regex engine, then PCRE2
will be automatically used for searching. If PCRE2 isn't available, then this
flag has no effect because there is only one regex engine to choose from.
In the future, ripgrep may adjust its heuristics for how it decides which
regex engine to use. In general, the heuristics will be limited to a static
analysis of the patterns, and not to any specific runtime behavior observed
while searching files.
The primary downside of using this flag is that it may not always be obvious
which regex engine ripgrep uses, and thus, the match semantics or performance
profile of ripgrep may subtly and unexpectedly change. However, in many cases,
all regex engines will agree on what constitutes a match and it can be nice
to transparently support more advanced regex features like look-around and
backreferences without explicitly needing to enable them.
This flag can be disabled with --no-auto-hybrid-regex.

ripgrep will stop searching the file. Usually, NUL bytes occur in the beginning
of most binary files. If a NUL byte occurs after a match, then ripgrep will
still stop searching the rest of the file, but a warning will be printed.
In contrast, when this flag is provided, ripgrep will continue searching a file
even if a NUL byte is found. In particular, if a NUL byte is found then ripgrep
will continue searching until either a match is found or the end of the file is
reached, whichever comes sooner. If a match is found, then ripgrep will stop
and print a warning saying that the search stopped prematurely.
If you want ripgrep to search a file without any special NUL byte handling at
all (and potentially print binary data to stdout), then you should use the
'-a/--text' flag.
The '--binary' flag is a flag for controlling ripgrep's automatic filtering
mechanism. As such, it does not need to be used when searching a file
explicitly or when searching stdin. That is, it is only applicable when
recursively searching a directory.
Note that when the '-u/--unrestricted' flag is provided for a third time, then
this flag is automatically enabled.
This flag can be disabled with '--no-binary'. It overrides the '-a/--text'
flag.

This flag specifies color settings for use in the output. This flag may be
provided multiple times. Settings are applied iteratively. Colors are limited
to one of eight choices: red, blue, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, white and
black. Styles are limited to nobold, bold, nointense, intense, nounderline
or underline.
The format of the flag is '{type}:{attribute}:{value}'. '{type}' should be
one of path, line, column or match. '{attribute}' can be fg, bg or style.
'{value}' is either a color (for fg and bg) or a text style. A special format,
'{type}:none', will clear all color settings for '{type}'.
For example, the following command will change the match color to magenta and
the background color for line numbers to yellow:
rg --colors 'match:fg:magenta' --colors 'line:bg:yellow' foo.
Extended colors can be used for '{value}' when the terminal supports ANSI color
sequences. These are specified as either 'x' (256-color) or 'x,x,x' (24-bit
truecolor) where x is a number between 0 and 255 inclusive. x may be given as
a normal decimal number or a hexadecimal number, which is prefixed by `0x`.
For example, the following command will change the match background color to
that represented by the rgb value (0,128,255):
rg --colors 'match:bg:0,128,255'
or, equivalently,
rg --colors 'match:bg:0x0,0x80,0xFF'

Enable printing results in a JSON Lines format.
When this flag is provided, ripgrep will emit a sequence of messages, each
encoded as a JSON object, where there are five different message types:
**begin** - A message that indicates a file is being searched and contains at
least one match.
**end** - A message the indicates a file is done being searched. This message
also include summary statistics about the search for a particular file.
**match** - A message that indicates a match was found. This includes the text
and offsets of the match.
**context** - A message that indicates a contextual line was found. This
includes the text of the line, along with any match information if the search
was inverted.
**summary** - The final message emitted by ripgrep that contains summary
statistics about the search across all files.
Since file paths or the contents of files are not guaranteed to be valid UTF-8
and JSON itself must be representable by a Unicode encoding, ripgrep will emit
all data elements as objects with one of two keys: 'text' or 'bytes'. 'text' is
a normal JSON string when the data is valid UTF-8 while 'bytes' is the base64
encoded contents of the data.
The JSON Lines format is only supported for showing search results. It cannot
be used with other flags that emit other types of output, such as --files,
--files-with-matches, --files-without-match, --count or --count-matches.
ripgrep will report an error if any of the aforementioned flags are used in
concert with --json.
Other flags that control aspects of the standard output such as
--only-matching, --heading, --replace, --max-columns, etc., have no effect
when --json is set.
A more complete description of the JSON format used can be found here:

"\
Enable matching across multiple lines.
When multiline mode is enabled, ripgrep will lift the restriction that a match
cannot include a line terminator. For example, when multiline mode is not
enabled (the default), then the regex '\\p{any}' will match any Unicode
codepoint other than '\\n'. Similarly, the regex '\\n' is explicitly forbidden,
and if you try to use it, ripgrep will return an error. However, when multiline
mode is enabled, '\\p{any}' will match any Unicode codepoint, including '\\n',
and regexes like '\\n' are permitted.
An important caveat is that multiline mode does not change the match semantics
of '.'. Namely, in most regex matchers, a '.' will by default match any
character other than '\\n', and this is true in ripgrep as well. In order to
make '.' match '\\n', you must enable the \"dot all\" flag inside the regex.
For example, both '(?s).' and '(?s:.)' have the same semantics, where '.' will
match any character, including '\\n'. Alternatively, the '--multiline-dotall'
flag may be passed to make the \"dot all\" behavior the default. This flag only
applies when multiline search is enabled.
There is no limit on the number of the lines that a single match can span.
**WARNING**: Because of how the underlying regex engine works, multiline
searches may be slower than normal line-oriented searches, and they may also
use more memory. In particular, when multiline mode is enabled, ripgrep
requires that each file it searches is laid out contiguously in memory
(either by reading it onto the heap or by memory-mapping it). Things that
cannot be memory-mapped (such as stdin) will be consumed until EOF before
searching can begin. In general, ripgrep will only do these things when
necessary. Specifically, if the --multiline flag is provided but the regex
does not contain patterns that would match '\\n' characters, then ripgrep
will automatically avoid reading each file into memory before searching it.
Nevertheless, if you only care about matches spanning at most one line, then it
is always better to disable multiline mode.
This flag can be disabled with --no-multiline.
This overrides the --stop-on-nonmatch flag.

By default, ripgrep will enable \"Unicode mode\" in all of its regexes. This
has a number of consequences:
* '.' will only match valid UTF-8 encoded scalar values.
* Classes like '\\w', '\\s', '\\d' are all Unicode aware and much bigger
than their ASCII only versions.
* Case insensitive matching will use Unicode case folding.
* A large array of classes like '\\p{Emoji}' are available.
* Word boundaries ('\\b' and '\\B') use the Unicode definition of a word
character.
In some cases it can be desirable to turn these things off. The --no-unicode
flag will do exactly that.
For PCRE2 specifically, Unicode mode represents a critical trade off in the
user experience of ripgrep. In particular, unlike the default regex engine,
PCRE2 does not support the ability to search possibly invalid UTF-8 with
Unicode features enabled. Instead, PCRE2 *requires* that everything it searches
when Unicode mode is enabled is valid UTF-8. (Or valid UTF-16/UTF-32, but for
the purposes of ripgrep, we only discuss UTF-8.) This means that if you have
PCRE2's Unicode mode enabled and you attempt to search invalid UTF-8, then
the search for that file will halt and print an error. For this reason, when
PCRE2's Unicode mode is enabled, ripgrep will automatically \"fix\" invalid
UTF-8 sequences by replacing them with the Unicode replacement codepoint. This
penalty does not occur when using the default regex engine.
If you would rather see the encoding errors surfaced by PCRE2 when Unicode mode
is enabled, then pass the --no-encoding flag to disable all transcoding.
The --no-unicode flag can be disabled with --unicode. Note that
--no-pcre2-unicode and --pcre2-unicode are aliases for --no-unicode and

When this flag is present, ripgrep will use the PCRE2 regex engine instead of

This is generally useful when you want to use features such as look-around

Note that PCRE2 is an optional ripgrep feature. If PCRE2 wasn't included in
your build of ripgrep, then using this flag will result in ripgrep printing
an error message and exiting. PCRE2 may also have worse user experience in
some cases, since it has fewer introspection APIs than ripgrep's default regex
engine. For example, if you use a '\\n' in a PCRE2 regex without the
'-U/--multiline' flag, then ripgrep will silently fail to match anything
instead of reporting an error immediately (like it does with the default
regex engine).

"\
For each input FILE, search the standard output of COMMAND FILE rather than the
contents of FILE. This option expects the COMMAND program to either be an
absolute path or to be available in your PATH. Either an empty string COMMAND
or the '--no-pre' flag will disable this behavior.
WARNING: When this flag is set, ripgrep will unconditionally spawn a
process for every file that is searched. Therefore, this can incur an
unnecessarily large performance penalty if you don't otherwise need the
flexibility offered by this flag. One possible mitigation to this is to use
the '--pre-glob' flag to limit which files a preprocessor is run with.
A preprocessor is not run when ripgrep is searching stdin.
When searching over sets of files that may require one of several decoders
as preprocessors, COMMAND should be a wrapper program or script which first
classifies FILE based on magic numbers/content or based on the FILE name and
then dispatches to an appropriate preprocessor. Each COMMAND also has its
standard input connected to FILE for convenience.
For example, a shell script for COMMAND might look like:
case \"$1\" in
*.pdf)
exec pdftotext \"$1\" -
;;
*)
case $(file \"$1\") in
*Zstandard*)
exec pzstd -cdq
;;
*)
exec cat
;;
esac
;;
esac
The above script uses `pdftotext` to convert a PDF file to plain text. For
all other files, the script uses the `file` utility to sniff the type of the
file based on its contents. If it is a compressed file in the Zstandard format,
then `pzstd` is used to decompress the contents to stdout.
This overrides the -z/--search-zip flag.

This flag is useful when searching many files with the --pre flag. Namely,
it permits the ability to avoid process overhead for files that don't need
preprocessing. For example, given the following shell script, 'pre-pdftotext':
#!/bin/sh
pdftotext \"$1\" -
then it is possible to use '--pre pre-pdftotext --pre-glob \'*.pdf\'' to make
it so ripgrep only executes the 'pre-pdftotext' command on files with a '.pdf'
extension.
Multiple --pre-glob flags may be used. Globbing rules match .gitignore globs.

Replace every match with the text given when printing results. Neither this

Capture group indices (e.g., $5) and names (e.g., $foo) are supported in the
replacement string. Capture group indices are numbered based on the position of
the opening parenthesis of the group, where the leftmost such group is $1. The
special $0 group corresponds to the entire match.
The name of a group is formed by taking the longest string of letters, numbers
and underscores (i.e. [_0-9A-Za-z]) after the $. For example, $1a will be
replaced with the group named '1a', not the group at index 1. If the group's
name contains characters that aren't letters, numbers or underscores, or you
want to immediately follow the group with another string, the name should be
put inside braces. For example, ${1}a will take the content of the group at
index 1 and append 'a' to the end of it.
If an index or name does not refer to a valid capture group, it will be
replaced with an empty string.
In shells such as Bash and zsh, you should wrap the pattern in single quotes
instead of double quotes. Otherwise, capture group indices will be replaced by
expanded shell variables which will most likely be empty.
To write a literal '$', use '$$'.
Note that the replacement by default replaces each match, and NOT the entire
line. To replace the entire line, you should match the entire line.
