# ProcessTail [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hibariya/process_tail.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hibariya/process_tail)

https://github.com/hibariya/process_tail

## Description

ProcessTail traces other process' write(2) system call and copy its buffer.
So we can get other process outputs.

## Problems

* SEGV occurs infrequently
* Windows is not supported

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'process_tail'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install process_tail

## Usage

On Mac OSX, you'll have to use `sudo`.

### Get outputs as an IO object

```ruby
ProcessTail.each pid do |tid, fd, str|
puts tid # pid or tid of this process (thread)
puts fd # File descripter number
puts str # Output string
end
```

### Show outputs instantly

```bash
$ process_tail $(pgrep PROCESS_NAME)
```
