# Hyperscan
Hyperscan is a high-performance multiple regex matching library. It follows the
regular expression syntax of the commonly-used libpcre library, but is a
standalone library with its own C API.
Hyperscan uses hybrid automata techniques to allow simultaneous matching of
large numbers (up to tens of thousands) of regular expressions and for the
matching of regular expressions across streams of data.
Hyperscan is typically used in a DPI library stack.
# Documentation
Information on building the Hyperscan library and using its API is available in
the [Developer Reference Guide](http://01org.github.io/hyperscan/dev-reference/).
