log-watcher

• Tail like utility to watch files

• Idea is to use websockets to implement continuous file watch/follow solution

Functionalities:

• cmd line switches
  1. -f i.e the file which is to be read
  2. -n number of lines to fetch in one go
  3. -w to watch/follow a file for changes (pending)

Components:

• An http server to serve the file contents
• the http server should expose a websocket endpoint, so that if user runs with follow option, the webserver should maintain a continuous connection(ws) to the client and keep on relaying file data to client
• a cli client (using cobra) which will accept user commands and accordingly make request to http server
