ow NUM lines before each match.
Show \fINUM\fP lines before each match.
.sp
This overrides the \flag{passthru} flag and partially overrides the
\flag{context} flag.
binaryno-binarySearch binary files.
Enabling this flag will cause ripgrep to search binary files. By default,
ripgrep attempts to automatically skip binary files in order to improve the
relevance of results and make the search faster.
.sp
Binary files are heuristically detected based on whether they contain a
\fBNUL\fP byte or not. By default (without this flag set), once a \fBNUL\fP
byte is seen, ripgrep will stop searching the file. Usually, \fBNUL\fP bytes
occur in the beginning of most binary files. If a \fBNUL\fP byte occurs after
a match, then ripgrep will not print the match, stop searching that file, and
emit a warning that some matches are being suppressed.
.sp
In contrast, when this flag is provided, ripgrep will continue searching a
file even if a \fBNUL\fP byte is found. In particular, if a \fBNUL\fP byte is
found then ripgrep will continue searching until either a match is found or
the end of the file is reached, whichever comes sooner. If a match is found,
then ripgrep will stop and print a warning saying that the search stopped
prematurely.
.sp
If you want ripgrep to search a file without any special \fBNUL\fP byte
handling at all (and potentially print binary data to stdout), then you should
use the \flag{text} flag.
.sp
The \flag{binary} flag is a flag for controlling ripgrep's automatic filtering
mechanism. As such, it does not need to be used when searching a file
explicitly or when searching stdin. That is, it is only applicable when
recursively searching a directory.
.sp
When the \flag{unrestricted} flag is provided for a third time, then this flag
is automatically enabled.
.sp
This flag overrides the \flag{text} flag.
block-bufferedno-block-bufferedForce block buffering.
When enabled, ripgrep will use block buffering. That is, whenever a matching
line is found, it will be written to an in-memory buffer and will not be
written to stdout until the buffer reaches a certain size. This is the default
when ripgrep's stdout is redirected to a pipeline or a file. When ripgrep's
stdout is connected to a tty, line buffering will be used by default. Forcing
block buffering can be useful when dumping a large amount of contents to a tty.
.sp
This overrides the \flag{line-buffered} flag.
byte-offsetno-byte-offsetPrint the byte offset for each matching line.
Print the 0-based byte offset within the input file before each line of output.
If \flag{only-matching} is specified, print the offset of the matched text
itself.
.sp
If ripgrep does transcoding, then the byte offset is in terms of the result
of transcoding and not the original data. This applies similarly to other
transformations on the data, such as decompression or a \flag{pre} filter.
case-sensitiveSearch case sensitively (default).
Execute the search case sensitively. This is the default mode.
.sp
This is a global option that applies to all patterns given to ripgrep.
Individual patterns can still be matched case insensitively by using inline
regex flags. For example, \fB(?i)abc\fP will match \fBabc\fP case insensitively
even when this flag is used.
.sp
This flag overrides the \flag{ignore-case} and \flag{smart-case} flags.
