# misc/p5-File-Tail - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Perl5 module for reading from continuously updated files

    The primary purpose of File::Tail is reading and analysing log files while
    they are being written.

    The module tries very hard NOT to ``busy-wait'' on a file that has little
    traffic.  If the file does not get altered for a while, File::Tail gets
    suspicious and startschecking if the file was truncated, or moved and
    recreated. If anything like that had happened, File::Tail will quietly
    reopen the file, and continue reading.
