# 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})

for line := range t.Lines {

    fmt.Println(line.Text)

}

```

See [API documentation](http://godoc.org/github.com/ActiveState/tail).
