Description:

inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base
installation of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify
infrastructure in recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up tailing
files in the follow mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls the file
every second by default while inotail listens to special events sent by the
kernel through the inotify API to determine whether a file needs to be
reread.

Currently inotail is not fully compatible to neither POSIX or GNU tail but
might be in the future.
