| Summary : Super-fast text searching tool (ag)
|
Description :
The Silver Searcher is a code searching tool similar to ack,
with a focus on speed.
An attempt to make something better than ack (which itself is better
than grep).
Why use Ag?
- It searches code about 3-5x faster than ack.
- It ignores file patterns from your .gitignore and .hgignore.
- If there are files in your source repository you don\'t want to
search,just add their patterns to a .ignore file.
* The command name is 33% shorter than ack, and all keys are on the
home row!
How is it so fast?
- Ag uses Pthreads to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and search
files in parallel.
- Files are mmap()ed instead of read into a buffer.
- Literal string searching uses Boyer-Moore-Horspool strstr.
- Regex searching uses PCRE\'s JIT compiler (if Ag is built with
PCRE >=8.21).
- Ag calls pcre_study() before executing the regex on every file.
- Instead of calling fnmatch() on every pattern in your ignore files,
non-regex patterns are loaded into an array and binary searched.
