Tail implementation in Go

A Go package striving to emulate the BSD tail program.

t := tail.TailFile("/var/log/nginx.log", 1000, true, true)
for line := range t.Lines {
    fmt.Println(line.Text)
}

TODO

  • tests
  • command line program (tail -f ...)
  • refactor: use Config? NewTail(tail.Config{Filename: "", Follow: tail.FOLLOW_NAME})
  • refactor: get rid of 'end' flag; allow -n <number> with -n -1 for end.
