# socktailf
![](https://img.shields.io/badge/written%20in-C-blue)
A unix tool to circularly buffer stdin for a local socket.
`socktailf` reads incoming lines from stdin into a circular buffer. The circular buffer can be read at any time over a local socket, which is removed when `socktailf` exits. The socket path is printed to stdout at startup.
## Usage
```
Usage:
socktailf [options]
Options:
-d Write the current buffer to stdout upon exit
--help Display help text
-n, --lines %count Set the number of lines to buffer (default 15)
-q Supress display of path to socket file
-v, --version Display version number and exit
-x Exit after failure to read from stdin (e.g. EOF)
```
