Types

type Matcher

type Matcher struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Matcher is returned by NewMatcher and contains a list of blices to match against

func NewMatcher

func NewMatcher(dictionary [][]byte) *Matcher

NewMatcher creates a new Matcher used to match against a set of blices

func NewStringMatcher

func NewStringMatcher(dictionary []string) *Matcher

NewStringMatcher creates a new Matcher used to match against a set of strings (this is a helper to make initialization easy)

func (*Matcher) Contains

func (m *Matcher) Contains(in []byte) bool

Contains returns true if any string matches. This can be faster than Match() when you do not need to know which words matched.

func (*Matcher) Match

func (m *Matcher) Match(in []byte) []int

Match searches in for blices and returns all the blices found as indexes into the original dictionary.

This is not thread-safe method, seek for MatchThreadSafe() instead.

func (*Matcher) MatchThreadSafe

func (m *Matcher) MatchThreadSafe(in []byte) []int

MatchThreadSafe provides the same result as Match() but does it in a thread-safe manner. Uses a sync.Pool of haystacks to track the uniqueness of the result items.
