# The devel/p5-File-Tail port

## p5-File-Tail-0.99.3p1 – library for reading from continuously updated files

## Description

    The File::Tail module is designed for reading files which are
    continuously appended to (the name comes from the tail -f directive).
    Usually such files are logfiles of some description.

    The module tries hard not to busy wait on the file, dynamically
    calculating how long it should wait before it pays to try reading
    the file again.

    The module should handle normal log truncations ("close; move; open"
    or "cat /dev/null >file") transparently, without losing any input.
