    It doesn't have to, you can give it a blob of bytes as well. It's just hard to keep it a cli and doesn't use kernel at all more correct would be - do not use kernel file system

    This is practically the most useless project becuase you can not run it without sudo permissions, but it was insanely fun to work on it supports ext4, btrfs, and apfs. Multithreade…

    it is absolutely amazing experience on mobile if you guys do not understand how to use a search bar and a couple of segmeneted controls -- there is nothing much I can do about it

    you can try it yourself. ripgrep search for "MAX_FILE_SIZE" in the chromium repo takes 6-7 seconds, with fff it is 20milliseconds so essentially in this specific case it is over 10…

    because it is meant to be used by the long running sdk not one shot search (this is where all the optimizations are coming from)

    it looks absolutely gorgeous btw but the idea is that you can try the search speed not actually use lmao

    it very much depends on the platform and the operating system for example ripgrep doesn't do any memory mapping on macos which makes it 2-3x faster just becuase of that

    I have open sourced the fastest code search implementation. Comprehensive SDK for both file finder and grep file search that is over 100x faster than ripgrep

    Since glibc (better to say csh) implemented it. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/glob.3.html search for GLOB_BRACE

    I agree though the main problem for me is not the API it's missing functionality of patterns like ./*/*.c. There is a very long running thread in the gnu mailing list where authors…

    That's one of the reasons I built zlob. It literally has an endpoint to do this but if you are talking about glibc there are 2 options 1. fnmatch function which is not ideal becaus…

    I should at some point, I do not need other gear types so I didn't do that, but if this project gets a little attention I'll just do it
