multimatch

When processing system logs a need may arise to match a given log line against the format strings from the code that produced the log (for example to point back to the code which produced the line).

Multimatch is a library used to build a database containing many regex patterns, prioritize them and match against provided strings. The supported input format for the patterns is printf format string - a string containing format specifiers like %d and %f. For details of supported specifiers see the readme file.

There may be many print statements with varying contents and the best possible match should be provided. The prioritization rules are described in the readme file.
