我想在 C++ 中创建一个与“tail-f”功能相同的小代码:观察文本文件中的新行并将它们显示在标准输出中。
这个想法是有一个监视文件的线程
有没有一种简单的方法可以不用每次都打开和关闭文件?
继续阅读文件。如果读取失败,什么也不做。无需反复打开和关闭它。但是,如果您的操作系统提供这些功能,您会发现使用操作系统特定功能来监控文件会更有效。
与https://stackoverflow.com/a/7514051/44729中的相同,只是下面的代码使用 getline 而不是 getc 并且不跳过新行
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
static int last_position=0;
// read file untill new line
// save position
int find_new_text(ifstream &infile) {
infile.seekg(0,ios::end);
int filesize = infile.tellg();
// check if the new file started
if(filesize < last_position){
last_position=0;
}
// read file from last position untill new line is found
for(int n=last_position;n<filesize;n++) {
infile.seekg( last_position,ios::beg);
char test[256];
infile.getline(test, 256);
last_position = infile.tellg();
cout << "Char: " << test <<"Last position " << last_position<< endl;
// end of file
if(filesize == last_position){
return filesize;
}
}
return 0;
}
int main() {
for(;;) {
std::ifstream infile("filename");
int current_position = find_new_text(infile);
sleep(1);
}
}
我在其中一本 Perl 手册中读到了这一点,但它很容易翻译成标准 C,而标准 C 又可以翻译成istream
s。
seek FILEHANDLE,POSITION,WHENCE
Sets FILEHANDLE's position, just like the "fseek" call of
"stdio".
<...>
A WHENCE of 1 ("SEEK_CUR") is useful for not moving the file
position:
seek(TEST,0,1);
This is also useful for applications emulating "tail -f". Once
you hit EOF on your read, and then sleep for a while, you might
have to stick in a seek() to reset things. The "seek" doesn't
change the current position, but it does clear the end-of-file
condition on the handle, so that the next "<FILE>" makes Perl
try again to read something. We hope.
据我记得,fseek
叫iostream::seekg
. 所以你应该基本上做同样的事情:寻找文件的末尾,然后休眠并再次使用ios_base::cur
标志寻找以更新文件结尾并读取更多数据。
如另一个答案sleep
中所建议的,您可以使用 inotify代替ing,以完全休眠(实际上是在从模拟文件中读取时阻塞),直到文件被更新/关闭。但这是特定于 Linux 的,不是标准的 C++。
我也需要实现这一点,我只是用标准 C++ 编写了一个快速 hack。hack 搜索文件中的最后一个 0x0A(换行符),并在最后一个换行值变为较大值时输出该换行符之后的所有数据。代码在这里:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int find_last_linefeed(ifstream &infile) {
infile.seekg(0,ios::end);
int filesize = infile.tellg();
for(int n=1;n<filesize;n++) {
infile.seekg(filesize-n-1,ios::beg);
char c;
infile.get(c);
if(c == 0x0A) return infile.tellg();
}
}
int main() {
int last_position=-1;
for(;;) {
ifstream infile("testfile");
int position = find_last_linefeed(infile);
if(position > last_position) {
infile.seekg(position,ios::beg);
string in;
infile >> in;
cout << in << endl;
}
last_position=position;
sleep(1);
}
}
