Discussion on this old grep bug report has died down (and it wasn't a grep bug 
anyway) so I'm closing the bug report.

Hi Everyone,

I need to perform multi-string pattern matching in C. The problem I am
working on does not allow a shell script. I'm looking for a library
that implements Aho–Corasick or Commentz-Walter (or similar).

Does Grep provide a library that exposes its multi-string pattern
matching? If not, can someone recommend an implementation?

Thanks in advance.
