Hi i'm developing an application that needs tail -f - like functionality, and, i'd like to avoid using an NSTask + executing "tail -f" on the file i want to continuosly read

I've tried registering for NSFileHandleDataAvailableNotification, but i keep getting notifications all the time, even though the is no *new* data available on the file.

Any ideas?

grab the code for tail off the apple open source website and put it in your app?
