Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author	Files	Lines
2007-04-13	inotail.c: Fix an integer underflow in bytes_to_offset()	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+3
	This also caused the bug that nothing was printed when a number greater than the number of characters in the file was specifed with the -c parameter.
2007-03-18	inotail.c: Proper exit after printing of version	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2007-03-04	inotail.c: Fix bug in parsing of +<num> parameters	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+3

2007-03-04	inotail.c: Datatype cleanup	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+2

2007-03-03	inotail.c: Ignore file cleanup	Tobias Klauser	1	-26/+23
	Get rid of some nasty code. Ok, it isn't much better now.
2007-03-03	inotail.c: Cleanup before release	Tobias Klauser	1	-17/+9

2007-02-05	inotail.c: Some more branch prediction	Tobias Klauser	1	-6/+6

2007-02-05	inotail.c: Better checking of -n/-c arguments	Tobias Klauser	1	-10/+12
	Also change n_lines/n_bytes to an unsigned long Additionally remove some spurious memset()'s
2007-02-03	inotail.c: Remember last printed header	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+5
	Prevents inotail from printing the header with the name of the file everytime it changes.
2007-01-22	inotail.c: Set new file size _after_ read/write in handle_inotify_event()	Tobias Klauser	1	-13/+10
	This works around the problem when receving multiple inotify events for _one_ write to the file. This was a problem in the bordercase where the string written to the file was larger than 4096 chars, the last sizeof(string) - 4096 chars were repeated. Still have to check why there are _two_ IN_MODIFY events for _one_ write. But at least it does not affect inotail anymore. Also fix a dumb thinko in watch_files(): Move the ev_idx only one event forward, not n_files * INOTIFY_BUFLEN.
2007-01-22	inotail.c: Gaaah! buf is on the stack now.	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+1

2007-01-21	inotail.c: Use strcmp rather than strncmp	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+2
	We're compare against a constant string
2007-01-21	inotail.c: Inline some functions and initialize files pointer in main	Tobias Klauser	1	-3/+3

2007-01-20	inotail.c: Adjust block size according to return value of read	Tobias Klauser	1	-3/+4
	...and use proper types
2007-01-20	inotail.c: Better handling of errors on inotify_init()	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+4

2007-01-20	inotail.c: Simplify iterating through inotify events	Tobias Klauser	1	-13/+17

2007-01-15	inotail.c: One more ssize_t	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2007-01-10	inotail.c: Minor cleanups	Tobias Klauser	1	-3/+3
	Make one more read(2) return value ssize_t and do not initialize n_files to 0
2007-01-05	inotail.c: Print version information to stdout	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2007-01-05	inotail.c: Make tail_pipe() return ssize_t	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+2
	read() returns ssize_t and we were casting it to signed int which might be smaller on some architectures.
2007-01-04	inotail.c: Make it clear that we're handling one file when tailing stdin	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2007-01-04	inotail.c: Fix an off-by-one error in lines_to_offset_from_end()	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1
	buf[block_size] is obviously _not_ in buf itself.
2007-01-04	inotail.c: Make n_ignored global	Tobias Klauser	1	-15/+24
	It was getting more and more complicated and errorprone with handling n_ignored as local variable.
2006-12-28	inotail.c: Use consistent nomenclature for struct file_struct pointers	Tobias Klauser	1	-29/+29
	f for pointers to one struct file_struct files for pointers to an array of struct file_struct
2006-12-28	inotail.c: Add and use ignore_file() function	Tobias Klauser	1	-7/+9

2006-12-28	inotail.c: Handle return value of inotify_add_watch()	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+8

2006-12-23	inotail.c: Print usage to stdout	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2006-12-23	inotail.c: Keep tailing moved files by fd	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1
	As a side effect of the recent change to not reopen files while watching (commit 1ddefac3dfe654f23fc944df5d7c52a078692012) it's possible now to follow moved files by their open fd.
2006-12-21	inotail.c: Don't open files over and over again	Tobias Klauser	1	-11/+19
	Up to now files were closed after processing each inotify event which seems to be quite a bit of overhead. The fds are now kept open and are only closed in case of errors.
2006-12-18	inotail.c: Minor cleanups and addition of an unlikely()	Tobias Klauser	1	-7/+4

2006-12-15	inotail.c: return instead of break	Tobias Klauser	1	-5/+2

2006-12-14	inotail.c: Move some macros to inotail.h	Tobias Klauser	1	-7/+0
	Some typos and useless blank lines are also fixed.
2006-12-14	inotail.c: Move a variable to the block where it's used	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+1

2006-12-14	inotail.c: Save 2 LOC	Tobias Klauser	1	-4/+2

2006-12-08	inotail.c: Yet another user for IS_PIPELIKE	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2006-12-08	inotail.c: Merge S_ISFIFO and S_ISSOCK to IS_PIPELIKE	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+5

2006-11-16	inotail.c: Reorder lines_to_offset* functions	Tobias Klauser	1	-31/+37
	Make lines_to_offset() just a wrapper function to check whether to tail from begin or from end of the file. The real work is done in lines_to_offset_from_begin() and lines_to_offset_from_end()
2006-11-09	Dynamically allocate memory for the inotify event buffer	Tobias Klauser	1	-4/+7
	By using malloc(3) depending on the number of files we have, the memory footprint can be reduced. Before this change, the buffer size was 32 * sizeof(struct inotify_event) which was an overhead when just tailing some few files. Now the memory is allocated depending on the number of files to tail. I know of no occassion where I received more than one event at a time per file, so the '2 *' can probably be dropped too.
2006-11-08	Document -n/-c +N feature	Tobias Klauser	1	-7/+10
	That should make inotail POSIX tail compatible
2006-11-08	Spelling fixes and some small code reordering	Tobias Klauser	1	-8/+6

2006-10-26	inotail.c: Support inotail -n +<num>	Tobias Klauser	1	-4/+51
	Add function lines_to_offset_from_begin() to allow tailing relative to the begin of the file. Also handle the case where the argument for '-c' or 'n' is '+0'. Like GNU tail (and according to its source also tail in UNIX) print the whole file in this case.
2006-10-25	Various change to allow tailing bytes relative to the begin	Tobias Klauser	1	-7/+10
	"Simplyfy" and inline bytes_to_offset, extend it to support tailing relative to begin of file. Boolean relative makes no sense, make it a char containing 0 for relative to end and 1 for relative to begin.
2006-10-24	inotail.c: Introduce relative tailing	Tobias Klauser	1	-6/+9
	The global variable 'relative' states whether we're tailing relative to the end (R_END, default) or the begin of the file. Also do some minor comment reformatting.
2006-10-21	Unify wording all over the tree	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+2
	According to the Linux source it's: * s/linux/Linux/ * s/Kernel/kernel/ * s/Inotify/inotify/ (except at the beginning of a sentence)
2006-10-20	inotail.c: Add basic support for +/-<num> to -c/-n	Tobias Klauser	1	-2/+6

2006-10-20	inotail.c: More n_units cleanup	Tobias Klauser	1	-6/+6
	Make n_units unsigned and rename some more variables to the appropriate form.
2006-10-20	inotail.c: rename n_lines to n_units	Tobias Klauser	1	-5/+5

2006-10-17	inotail.c: Better error handling in tail_file()	Tobias Klauser	1	-9/+14
	Close fd on any error, rename rc variable to cleanly state what it's for.
2006-10-16	inotail.c: Make pretty_name() an inline	Tobias Klauser	1	-1/+1

2006-10-05	Better file type checking and more meaningful return values	Tobias Klauser	1	-3/+12
