Is it safe to interrupt a started search? #227

Closed xfilesee34 closed 4 months ago

xfilesee34 commented 4 months ago

Is there a possibility that ripgrep-all corrupts any file it is searching? Is it safe to use ctrl + c to interrupt search?

lafrenierejm commented 4 months ago

No, ripgrep-all shouldn't be able to corrupt any files it searches. It does not modify any of the files it is searching. Simply reading a file should not be capable of corrupting it unless you are dealing with failing hardware or a buggy filesystem.

yes, it's safe
