You'd want to just periodically stat the file to be tailed, checking for
change in last modified/size, and read the difference out of it. You
could always download the source for tail itself and see how it does it:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/tail.c
If you're going to write this to feed data to flume you're better off
having it send data over thrift to flume so you can resend it on failures.

hello,
there isn't tail or tailDir source of flume-ng.
exec source can run tail command on linux.
but there is not a tail command on windows. So I have to write some
code to do the same work.
I want to read a file and if there is new lines of a file, it sends
the lines to flume-ng.
some one give me some advice?
Thanks,
