For developers, see FileWatch::Watch and FileWatch::Tail.
Tested on Linux/x86_64 and Solaris.
All operating systems should be supported. If you run the tests on another platform, please open a Github issue with the output (even if it passes, so we can update this document).
This project provide file and glob watching.
Goals:
- to provide a rubyish api to get notifications of file or glob changes
- to work in major rubies (mri, yarv, jruby, rubinius?)
Example code (standalone):
require "rubygems"
require "filewatch/tail"
t = FileWatch::Tail.new
t.tail("/tmp/test*.log")
t.subscribe do |path, line|
puts "#{path}: #{line}"
end
