/*! Defines ripgrep's command line interface. This modules deals with everything involving ripgrep's flags and positional arguments. This includes generating shell completions, `--help` output and even ripgrep's man page. It's also responsible for parsing and validating every flag (including reading ripgrep's config file), and manages the contact points between these flags and ripgrep's cast of supporting libraries. For example, once [`HiArgs`] has been created, it knows how to create a multi threaded recursive directory traverser. */ use std::{ ffi::OsString, fmt::Debug, panic::{RefUnwindSafe, UnwindSafe}, }; pub(crate) use crate::flags::{ complete::{ bash::generate as generate_complete_bash, fish::generate as generate_complete_fish, powershell::generate as generate_complete_powershell, zsh::generate as generate_complete_zsh, }, doc::{ help::{ generate_long as generate_help_long, generate_short as generate_help_short, }, man::generate as generate_man_page, version::{ generate_long as generate_version_long, generate_pcre2 as generate_version_pcre2, generate_short as generate_version_short, }, }, hiargs::HiArgs, lowargs::{GenerateMode, Mode, SearchMode, SpecialMode}, parse::{parse, ParseResult}, }; mod complete; mod config; mod defs; mod doc; mod hiargs; mod lowargs; mod parse; /// A trait that encapsulates the definition of an optional flag for ripgrep. /// /// This trait is meant to be used via dynamic dispatch.

Namely, /// all of ripgrep's positional arguments are treated as file paths, except /// in certain circumstances where the first argument is treated as a regex /// pattern. /// /// Note that each implementation of this trait requires a long flag name, /// but can also optionally have a short version and even a negation flag. /// For example, the `-E/--encoding` flag accepts a value, but it also has a /// `--no-encoding` negation flag for reverting back to "automatic" encoding /// detection. All three of `-E`, `--encoding` and `--no-encoding` are provided /// by a single implementation of this trait. /// /// ripgrep only supports flags that are switches or flags that accept a single /// value.
