Struct StringFlags 

pub struct StringFlags {
    pub compact_whitespace: bool,
    pub compact_optional_whitespace: bool,
    pub ignore_lowercase: bool,
    pub ignore_uppercase: bool,
    pub text_test: bool,
    pub trim: bool,
    pub bin_test: bool,
    pub full_word: bool,
}

String modifier flags parsed from the /[cCwWtTbf] suffix on a string rule.

Mirrors libmagic’s STRING_* flag bits from src/file.h. Each flag alters how compare_string_with_flags walks the pattern and buffer in parallel. The default (all false) preserves byte-exact comparison.

/c vs /C are asymmetric: the pattern character controls direction. With /c, only lowercase pattern chars trigger case-folding (the file byte is tolower’d). With /C, only uppercase pattern chars trigger folding (the file byte is toupper’d). Mixed-case patterns behave intuitively: /c FoO matches FoO, Foo, FOO but not fOO (the uppercase F is literal). See GOTCHAS S6.5 for the rationale and src/softmagic.c for the canonical libmagic contract.

/B is NOT a string flag – it is the pstring 1-byte length-width letter (PSTRING_1_BE). string/B is rejected at parse time. See GOTCHAS S6.6.

Examples

use libmagic_rs::parser::ast::StringFlags;

let plain = StringFlags::default();
assert!(!plain.ignore_lowercase);

let case_insensitive = StringFlags::default().with_ignore_lowercase(true);
assert!(case_insensitive.ignore_lowercase);

let compound = StringFlags::default()
    .with_ignore_lowercase(true)
    .with_compact_optional_whitespace(true);
assert!(compound.ignore_lowercase);
assert!(compound.compact_optional_whitespace);

Fields

compact_whitespace: bool

/W – STRING_COMPACT_WHITESPACE. Pattern whitespace requires at least one whitespace byte in the file, then any further whitespace in the file is consumed greedily.

compact_optional_whitespace: bool

/w – STRING_COMPACT_OPTIONAL_WHITESPACE. Pattern whitespace matches zero or more whitespace bytes in the file.

ignore_lowercase: bool

/c – STRING_IGNORE_LOWERCASE. When the pattern char is lowercase, the file byte is to_ascii_lowercase’d before comparison. Uppercase pattern chars are compared literally.

ignore_uppercase: bool

/C – STRING_IGNORE_UPPERCASE. When the pattern char is uppercase, the file byte is to_ascii_uppercase’d before comparison. Lowercase pattern chars are compared literally.

text_test: bool

/t – STRING_TEXTTEST. Hint that this rule applies to text files. Captured for MIME-output integration; does not currently alter comparison.

trim: bool

/T – STRING_TRIM. Trim leading and trailing ASCII whitespace from the pattern before comparison. The trim is applied at evaluation time (in read_pattern_match) so the AST keeps the original pattern bytes; the comparison function receives the trimmed slice.

bin_test: bool

/b – STRING_BINTEST. Hint that this rule applies to binary files. Captured for MIME-output integration; does not currently alter comparison.

full_word: bool

/f – STRING_FULL_WORD. Post-match check that the byte after the matched region is either end-of-buffer or a non-word character (ASCII alphanumeric or _).

Implementations

impl StringFlags

pub const fn is_empty(self) -> bool

Returns true when every flag is false (the byte-exact fast path). The evaluator dispatcher uses this to skip the parallel-walk comparison when no flags are set.

pub const fn with_compact_whitespace(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for compact_whitespace (/W).

pub const fn with_compact_optional_whitespace(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for compact_optional_whitespace (/w).

pub const fn with_ignore_lowercase(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for ignore_lowercase (/c).

pub const fn with_ignore_uppercase(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for ignore_uppercase (/C).

pub const fn with_text_test(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for text_test (/t).

pub const fn with_trim(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for trim (/T).

pub const fn with_bin_test(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for bin_test (/b).

pub const fn with_full_word(self, value: bool) -> Self

Builder-style setter for full_word (/f).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for StringFlags

fn clone(&self) -> StringFlags

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for StringFlags

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for StringFlags

fn default() -> StringFlags

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for StringFlags

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for StringFlags

fn eq(&self, other: &StringFlags) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for StringFlags

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for StringFlags

impl Eq for StringFlags
