Here's the main loop
First there's a block to make sure that ftail is still looking at the right file
while (1) {
my ($dev, $ino) = stat $file;
if (defined $dev && "$dev,$ino" ne $devino) {
while (read F, my($buf), 8192) {
print $buf;
}
open F, "<", $file or die "Couldn't open file $file: $!; aborting";
$devino = "$dev,$ino";
seek F, 0, 2 if $END;
$END=0;
}
Then, once the right file has been opened, it's pretty much the same as tail:
while (read F, my($buf), 8192) {
print $buf;
}
sleep 1;
seek F, 0, 1;
}
