tail -f for PHP
===============

[](#tail--f-for-php)

A simple implementation to provide "tail -f" functionality in PHP code. Allows you to monitor newly added lines to a given file.

Works cross-platform on both unix and Windows.

This class is designed for implementation within a PHP daemon, specifically excluding its suitability for PHP scripts that generate output for web browsers.

This is a lightweight class that minimally consumes RAM, CPU, or disk I/O resources. There are no dependencies to other libraries.
