Specifically, it is only equivalent to `--count-matches` when the pattern(s) given can match over multiple lines. We could have instead made `--multiline --count` always equivalent to `--multiline --count-matches`, but this seems plausibly less useful. Indeed, I think it's generally a good thing that users can enable `-U/--multiline` but still use patterns that only match a single line. Changing how that behaves would I think be more surprising. Either way we slice this, it's unfortunately pretty subtle. Fixes #2852
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.
