 Description: tail replacement using inotify
- inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base installation
- of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify infrastructure in
- recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up tailing files in the follow
- mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls the file every second by default
- while inotail listens to special events sent by the kernel through the inotify
- API to determine whether a file needs to be reread.
