/**
 * Simple implementation of the unix "tail -f" functionality.
 *
 * 

1. Create a TailerListener implementation

*

* First you need to create a {@link TailerListener} implementation * ({@link TailerListenerAdapter} is provided for convenience so that you don't have to * implement every method). *

* *

For example:

*
 *  public class MyTailerListener extends TailerListenerAdapter {
 *      public void handle(String line) {
 *          System.out.println(line);
 *      }
 *  }
* *

2. Using a Tailer

* *

* You can create and use a Tailer in one of three ways: *

*
    *
  • Using one of the static helper methods: *
      *
    • {@link Tailer#create(File, TailerListener)}
    • *
    • {@link Tailer#create(File, TailerListener, long)}
    • *
    • {@link Tailer#create(File, TailerListener, long, boolean)}
    • *
    *
  • *
  • Using an {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor}
  • *
  • Using an {@link Thread}
  • *
* *

* An example of each of these is shown below. *

* *

2.1 Using the static helper method

* *
 *      TailerListener listener = new MyTailerListener();
 *      Tailer tailer = Tailer.create(file, listener, delay);
* *

2.2 Using an Executor

* *
 *      TailerListener listener = new MyTailerListener();
 *      Tailer tailer = new Tailer(file, listener, delay);
 *
 *      // stupid executor impl. for demo purposes
 *      Executor executor = new Executor() {
 *          public void execute(Runnable command) {
 *              command.run();
 *           }
 *      };
 *
 *      executor.execute(tailer);
 * 
* * *

2.3 Using a Thread

*
 *      TailerListener listener = new MyTailerListener();
 *      Tailer tailer = new Tailer(file, listener, delay);
 *      Thread thread = new Thread(tailer);
 *      thread.setDaemon(true); // optional
 *      thread.start();
* *

3. Stopping a Tailer

*

Remember to stop the tailer when you have done with it:

*
 *      tailer.stop();
 * 
* *

4. Interrupting a Tailer

*

You can interrupt the thread a tailer is running on by calling {@link Thread#interrupt()}. *

*
 *      thread.interrupt();
 * 
*

* If you interrupt a tailer, the tailer listener is called with the {@link InterruptedException}. *

*

* The file is read using the default charset; this can be overridden if necessary. *

* @see TailerListener * @see TailerListenerAdapter * @since 2.0 * @since 2.5 Updated behavior and documentation for {@link Thread#interrupt()} */ public class Tailer implements Runnable { private static final int DEFAULT_DELAY_MILLIS = 1000;
