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.
