Module grep_searcher::sinks

A collection of convenience implementations of Sink.

Each implementation in this module makes some kind of sacrifice in the name of making common cases easier to use. Most frequently, each type is a wrapper around a closure specified by the caller that provides limited access to the full suite of information available to implementors of Sink.

For example, the UTF8 sink makes the following sacrifices:

• All matches must be UTF-8. An arbitrary Sink does not have this restriction and can deal with arbitrary data. If this sink sees invalid UTF-8, then an error is returned and searching stops. (Use the Lossy sink instead to suppress this error.)
• The searcher must be configured to report line numbers. If it isn't, an error is reported at the first match and searching stops.
• Context lines, context breaks and summary data reported at the end of a search are all ignored.
• Implementors are forced to use io::Error as their error type.

If you need more flexibility, then you're advised to implement the Sink trait directly.

Structs

Bytes	A sink that provides line numbers and matches as raw bytes while ignoring everything else.
Lossy	A sink that provides line numbers and matches as (lossily converted) strings while ignoring everything else.
UTF8	A sink that provides line numbers and matches as strings while ignoring everything else.
