[](https://travis-ci.org/nxadm/tail)
This is repo is forked from the dormant upstream repo at
[hpcloud](https://github.com/hpcloud/tail). This fork adds support for go
modules, updates the dependencies, adds features and fixes bugs. Go 1.9 is
the oldest compiler release supported.
# Go package for tail-ing files
A Go package striving to emulate the features of the BSD `tail` program.
```Go
t, err := tail.TailFile("/var/log/nginx.log", tail.Config{Follow: true})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for line := range t.Lines {
fmt.Println(line.Text)
}
```
See [API documentation](http://godoc.org/github.com/nxadm/tail).
## Log rotation
Tail comes with full support for truncation/move detection as it is
designed to work with log rotation tools.
## Installing
go get github.com/nxadm/tail/...
## Windows support
This package [needs assistance](https://github.com/nxadm/tail/labels/Windows) for full Windows support.
