=head2 tail($file)

This function will tail the given file.

 task "syslog", "server01", sub {
   tail "/var/log/syslog";
 };

If you want to control the output format, you can define a callback function:

 task "syslog", "server01", sub {
   tail "/var/log/syslog", sub {
    my ($data) = @_;
 
    my $server = Rex->get_current_connection()->{'server'};
 
    print "$server>> $data\n";
   };
 };



=cut

sub tail {
  my $file     = shift;
  my $callback = shift;

  $callback ||= sub {
    print $_[0];
  };

  Rex::Logger::debug("Tailing: $file");

  my $int =
    Rex::Commands::get("rex_internals") || { read_buffer_size => 1024, };

  my $old_buf_size = $int->{read_buffer_size} || 1024;

  Rex::Commands::set(
    "rex_internals",
    {
      read_buffer_size => 1,
    }
  );

  run "tail -f $file", continuous_read => sub {
    $callback->(@_);
    },
    ;

  $int->{read_buffer_size} = $old_buf_size;
  Rex::Commands::set( "rex_internals", $int );

}
