This is in preparation for adding a new --engine flag which is intended to eventually supplant --auto-hybrid-regex. While there are no immediate plans to add more regex engines to ripgrep, this is intended to make it easier to maintain a patch to ripgrep with an additional regex engine. See #1488 for more details.
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.
