Chase
An implementation of async and sync file-following in Rust for people who care about line numbers.
Goals
- Provide line numbers with each line yielded
- Ability to exit the watch loop programmatically
- Deals with file rotations automatically
- Cross-platform async
- Configurable (which line to start on, delays and retries)
- Easy to use synchronously
- Easy to use asynchronously
- Can receive data from a standard lib a Channel
- Can receive data from a
Stream
from the Futures library
Usage
You can use this tool as a lib and as a binary:
As lib
Some features (e.g. receiving as a Stream
, and Serde derive for lib-provided structs) are feature-gated, so
keep that in mind when adding as a dependency (refer to Cargo.toml
for list of features)
As a binary
cargo install chase --features=binary
Chases a file through thick and thin.
USAGE:
chase [OPTIONS] <f>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-L, --line <l> The line you want to start chasing your file from [default: 0]
ARGS:
<f> The file you want to chase
Caveats
Windows not yet supported: need to figure out what inodes map to
Credit
Very much inspired by logwatcher
