Show HN: Krep a High-Performance String Search Utility Written in C

This is only for string matching? I can't find any mentions of regular expression support. Why use the "re" naming scheme?

The Story Behind the Name

The name "krep" has an interesting origin. It is inspired by the Icelandic word "kreppan," which means "to grasp quickly" or "to catch firmly." I came across this word while researching efficient techniques for pattern recognition.

Just as skilled fishers identify patterns in the water to locate fish quickly, I designed "krep" to find patterns in text with maximum efficiency. The name is also short and easy to remember—perfect for a command-line utility that users might type hundreds of times per day.

however support for regular expressions will come very soon!

Was this comment written by an LLM? What use, if any, did you make of LLMs when writing krep?

It really does sound like LLM-generated text.
