tail's Introduction

tail Go Reference codecov experimental

Package tail implements file tailing with fsnotify.

Fork of nxadm/tail, simplified, reworked and optimized. Currently, supports only Linux and Darwin.

go get github.com/go-faster/tail
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"os"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-faster/tail"
)

func main() {
	t := tail.File("/var/log/application.txt", tail.Config{
		Follow:        true,        // tail -f
		BufferSize:    1024 * 128,  // 128 kb for internal reader buffer

		// Force polling if zero events are observed for longer than a minute.
		// Optional, just a safeguard to be sure that we are not stuck forever
		// if we miss inotify event.
		NotifyTimeout: time.Minute,

		// You can specify position to start tailing, same as Seek arguments.
		// For example, you can use the latest processed Line.Location() value.
		Location: &tail.Location{Whence: io.SeekStart, Offset: 0},
	})
	ctx := context.Background()
	// Enjoy zero allocation fast tailing with context support.
	if err := t.Tail(ctx, func(ctx context.Context, l *tail.Line) error {
		_, _ = fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, string(l.Data))
		return nil
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

TODO

  • Tests for removing, tailing and creating events
  • Decide on Windows support

tail's Issues

test: unstable on Darwin

For some reason tests are unstable on Darwin.

Can't debug currently (I'm on Linux), so need help.

Handle partial linees

Ensure that line ends with \n. Otherwise, wait for this condition and only then invoke callback.

This occurs when line is still being written, but we've already got inotify event: that is, read only part (e.g. half) of line.
