When node changed the fs.ReadStream to use the new Streams API, the tricky tailFile function I originally wrote broke because resume/destroy methods worked differently (and I was sort of hooking into them and abusing them). I rewrote tailFile from scratch for use in other projects. It just uses the lowest level
fs
functions now, without any shortcuts like before. This should work in all node versions.The tests seem to be passing.
