tail files without polling #12

Just wondering if there would be a way to implement this library without polling for file changes? Would be a lot more performant, I think, thanks!

Maybe the library could use fs.watch.

Maybe the library could use fs.watch.

Just my two cents, this lib is nice because it does poll, I am having to replace node-tail with this lib because fs.watch doesn't work in a docker container with a shared volume.
