Source: inotail Section: utils Priority: optional Maintainer: Tobias Klauser Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4) Standards-Version: 3.7.2 Package: inotail Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} 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. . Homepage:
