2006-12-08inotail.c: Yet another user for IS_PIPELIKETobias Klauser1-1/+1
2006-12-08inotail.c: Merge S_ISFIFO and S_ISSOCK to IS_PIPELIKETobias Klauser1-2/+5
2006-11-16inotail.c: Reorder lines_to_offset* functionsTobias Klauser1-31/+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()
2006-11-09Dynamically allocate memory for the inotify event bufferTobias Klauser1-4/+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.
2006-11-08Document -n/-c +N featureTobias Klauser1-7/+10
That should make inotail POSIX tail compatible
2006-11-08Spelling fixes and some small code reorderingTobias Klauser1-8/+6
2006-10-26inotail.c: Support inotail -n +<num>Tobias Klauser1-4/+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.
2006-10-25Various change to allow tailing bytes relative to the beginTobias Klauser1-7/+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.
2006-10-24inotail.c: Introduce relative tailingTobias Klauser1-6/+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.
2006-10-21Unify wording all over the treeTobias Klauser1-2/+2
According to the Linux source it's: * s/linux/Linux/ * s/Kernel/kernel/ * s/Inotify/inotify/ (except at the beginning of a sentence)

2006-10-20inotail.c: More n_units cleanupTobias Klauser1-6/+6
Make n_units unsigned and rename some more variables to the appropriate form.

2006-10-17inotail.c: Better error handling in tail_file()Tobias Klauser1-9/+14
Close fd on any error, rename rc variable to cleanly state what it's for.

And use it for a really unlikely case
2006-09-26Add check for the case that no file produced the inotify eventTobias Klauser1-2/+5
This could use an unlikely()

2006-09-03Set mode explicitely when -n command line is specifiedTobias Klauser1-0/+1
This prevents us from doing the wrong thing in such (very unlikely) cases: $ inotail -c 6 -n 6 file.txt

Alos adjust the notice about turbotail, there isn't really any code from turbotail anymore.

* Check for VERSION being set from Makefile * Remove needless code
2006-08-12Introduce handling of ignored filesTobias Klauser1-10/+30
Files which are no longer available (e.g. moved, deleted) are marked as "ignore" and do no longer influence the tailing of other files.
