tail but filter when following.
I needed a small tool for work that would make it easy to filter tail -f outputs live. Decided to put one together.
Added feature for "sieving". Will follow for file changes
trunk -s <filter> /path/to/file
Usual tail commands are compatible
trunk -n <number of lines> /path/to/file
trunk -f /path/to/file
trunk -h
Usage: trunk.exe [OPTIONS] <FILE>
Arguments:
<FILE> Path of the file to tail/follow
Options:
-f, --follow Follow a file for live changes
-s, --sieve <SIEVE> Phrase to filter new lines with. Will automatically enable [-f --follow] [default: ]
-n, --num-lines <NUM_LINES> Number of lines from the end to tail [default: 5]
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
