Provides File Carnivore::Source

require 'carnivore'
require 'carnivore-files'

Carnivore.configure do
  source = Carnivore::Source.build(
    :type => :carn_file, :args => {:path => '/var/log/app.log'}
  )
end

The File source is built on two "foundations", sleepy_penguin and nio4r. The optimal foundation will be selected based on the current Ruby in use (nio4r for JRuby, sleepy_penguin for everything else). If you want to force the foundation:

require 'carnivore'
require 'carnivore-files'

Carnivore.configure do
  source = Carnivore::Source.build(
    :type => :carn_file, :args => {
      :path => '/var/log/app.log',
      :foundation => :nio
    }
  )
end

The underlying foundations are not installed by this gem. Be sure include the dependency within your application dependencies (nio4r or sleepy_penguin).
