A Go package striving to emulate the features of the BSD tail program.
t, err := tail.TailFile("/var/log/nginx.log", tail.Config{Follow: true}) for line := range t.Lines { fmt.Println(line.Text) }
See API documentation.
Tail comes with full support for truncation/move detection as it is designed to work with log rotation tools.
