PROGRAM:

NAME


since - display content of a file since the last time

SYNOPSIS


since [-aefhlmnqvxz] [-d seconds] [-s file] files

DESCRIPTION


since is a utility designed to monitor log files. since is similar to tail(2) as it also
displays information appended to a file. However since only displays the data which has
been added since the last time since was run. If since is run on a particular file for the
first time, then the entire file is displayed.

EXAMPLE


since /var/log/apache/{access,error}_log > /dev/null
lynx --dump http://localhost/ > /dev/null
since /var/log/apache/{access,error}_log

OPTIONS


-a Make updates to the since state files atomic. This option configures since to use a
temporary file and a rename(2) instead of updating the state file in situ.

-d seconds
Specify the number of integer seconds to wait between polling files for changes.
This option is only relevant in conjunction with the -f option and if the inotify
mechanism is not being used.

-e Print the header lines to standard error instead of standard output.

-f Follow the specified files. This option is analogous to tail -f as the files are
also polled for changes until the process is interrupted.

-h Print a terse help message.

-l Relaxed mode. If some data files are inaccessible since will not fail completely.

-m Disable mmap(2), use read(2) instead to access state and data files. Note that for
certain smaller io operations read(2) may be used even if this option has not been
given.

-n Do not update the .since file which keeps track of file growth.

-q Make the utility operate more quietly.

-s filename
Specify the state file explicitly. Using this option will also disable the use of
fallback state files.

-v Increase the verbosity. This option can be given multiple times.

-x Ignore file arguments which have compressed extensions.

-z Discard output. Similar to redirecting the output to /dev/null, but faster. If used
in conjunction with the -f option, only the initial output will be discarded.
