2009-12-17Makefile: Change to new git command formatTobias Klauser1-2/+2
2009-10-30inotail.c: Add TODO comment to handle_inotify_eventTobias Klauser1-0/+4
Reopening the watch should only be done in FOLLOW_NAME mode.
2009-10-30inotail: Support reopening rotated filesDominguez Bonini, David2-15/+42
We changed the behaviour of the "follow" option so that it detects that file has been moved or deleted it keeps monitoring for the file instead of ignoring it. This is useful when tailing syslog circular logs, where syslog periodically moves the log to another filename and recreates the log file. Without the patch inotail would issue a "file has been moved" or a "file has been deleted message" and stop tracking the file. Now it will close the file and refresh the inotify +descriptor. When a notification arrives with a CREATE or MODIFY event, it will reopen the file and set the size to zero. We are using the patched program in an embedded ARM system with satisfactory results.
2009-07-14inotail.h: Correct typoTobias Klauser1-1/+1
2009-04-23inotail: open with O_LARGEFILESage Weil1-1/+1
Opening with O_LARGEFILE avoids failing with -EFBIG on large (>2gb?) files on 32bit machines (tested on 32bit x86).
2009-04-06Large file support for inotailTobias Klauser1-0/+1
Patch by hondza <sedaj2@gmail.com> Inotail fails to fstat() large files with "Error: Could not stat file '/large/file' (Value too large for defined data type)". Following patch makes it work.

2009-01-25Reference head(1) in the manpage according to the original POSIX manpageTobias Klauser1-0/+1

2009-01-25Make sure that st_blksize is greater than 0Tobias Klauser2-1/+4
2009-01-25Implement remaining commandline optionsTobias Klauser2-8/+50
inotail is now 100% option compatible to GNU tail (at least to the documented options) Some options make no sense for inotail (-s, --max-unchanged-stats), others are impossible (--pid) and are thus not implemented. They just emit a warning on stderr.
2009-01-25Update copyrightTobias Klauser4-4/+5
2009-01-25Add -q, --quiet and --silent optionsTobias Klauser2-12/+22
inotail should become option compatible to GNU tail.

2008-09-23use sys/inotify.hAdrian Bunk4-177/+1
Some time ago glibc did not yet have inotify support, which forced several applications (including inotail) to ship their own copy of the required headers. Especially considering that this also requires updating the syscall numbers each time a new architecture wants to get supported it's the best to instead switch to #include <sys/inotify.h> now.
2008-08-31Prepare inotail 0.6Tobias Klauser2-1/+10
Presumably this version will not yet include the follow by name feature and the fixes for the file rotation issue (Debian bug #460527). Will have to find some time first to have a closer look at these two.
2008-08-31Check for file being a pipe before seekingTobias Klauser1-1/+1
Otherwise inotail -f on a named pipe (fifo) would not work. Thanks Alexander Sulfrian.

2008-02-11inotail.c: Handle IN_IGNORED eventTobias Klauser1-0/+2
This event is e.g. emitted when we remove a watch on a file.
2008-02-11inotail.c: Check ignore flag before ignoreing the fileTobias Klauser1-2/+4
This makes ignore_file reentrant. Calling the function on a file which is already ignored shouldn't lead to n_ignored getting incremented.

2007-11-11Revert "inotail.c: Decrement n_units before calling tail_pipe_from_begin"pipeTobias Klauser1-2/+5
This reverts commit 21cddfba5f53ed0ad9d8f14bc1555c57cad9790e. Makes inotail -n +0 work again. Sometimes reducing code leads to unrecognised errors ;-)
2007-09-25inotail.c: typdef mode_tTobias Klauser2-3/+4
2007-09-25inotail.c: Decrement n_units before calling tail_pipe_from_beginTobias Klauser1-5/+2
Saves 2 lines of code
2007-09-19inotail.c: Check for n_units == 0 only if tailing from endTobias Klauser1-4/+9
inotail -n+0/-c+0 should be allowed
2007-09-18inotail.c: Implement pipe tailing lines from beginTobias Klauser1-5/+57
Use a general function for lines and bytes to prevent duplicating code.

2007-09-18inotail.c: Implement tail_pipe_bytes()Tobias Klauser2-9/+77
For now more or less a copy from coreutils
2007-09-18inotail.c: Use BUFSIZ and post-incrementTobias Klauser2-14/+11
For consistency reasons mostly :-)
