RTAIL:(1)

🦋 NAME 🦋

rtail — follow a file that is still growning ✨

okay so real talk, this is rtail(1) — the little executable that lives in your terminal and just watches a file grow, like a plant mom but for logs 🌱💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

It's a small ruby library that lets you "tail" files in Ruby, including following a file that still is growing, exactly like the unix command 'tail -f' can 🫶

And this application? It's the executable version of all the features that ruby-file-tail gives you. So like, the library's greatest hits, but you can just run it 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

🌈 OPTS are 🌈

• -n NUMBER — show the last NUMBER of lines in the tailed files. Bestie said "only give me the last little bit" and this is how you say that 💖
• -m PATTERN — only tail files matching PATTERN, e. g. '*.log'. So you're not out here tailing every single file in the directory like a menace 😭
• -M — prefix every line with the logfile name. Obsessed with this one, it's giving "who said what" energy 🔥
• -h — to display this help. Your girl -h always comes through 🙈
