It was apparently using a format specific to a particular plugin. I did know that, but apparently the plugin is not ubiquitous or de facto standard[1]. Thus, including it I think just leads to more confusion. We definitely do not want to be in the business of bundling aliases for every conceivable plugin to different editors, so just drop it. We expose the ability to write your own format for exactly this sort of reason. [1]: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/discussions/2611#discussioncomment-7138302
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.
