A multi-platform file tailer that uses colors to differentiate different files. Multitail defaults to following files.
####Note, basically works. Displaying two logs from different log sources doesn't insert a newline between the logs. Going to put this project on hold to work on multitail-lib, which will probably end up being the back-end for multitail.
Usage: mtail FILE [FILE]*
In the future:
mtail # invoked with no arguments, will read arguments from './mtail.toml'
mtail [OPTIONS] FILE BACKGROUND_COLOR:FOREGROUND_COLOR:[ATTRIBUTE] [FILE BACKGROUND_COLOR:FOREGROUND_COLOR:[ATTRIBUTE]]*
-h, --help : Print out this help
-c file, --config=file : Get all command line args from 'file'
