isbf creates a fifo file and directs the input stream through this fifo to produce a potentially modified output stream.

This lets you use the fifo to insert any content you like into the input stream.

SYNOPSIS

[-f < fifo >] [-v]

OPTIONS

-f < fifo >
specify another fifo file (default is "/tmp/isbf_PID")

-v Prints version information to standard output, then exits.

EXAMPLES

tail -f /var/log/messages | isbf -f insert &
echo "My insert" > insert

What's New in This Release:
The application was completely restructured from forking into two processes to a select().
This shrinks resource consumption.
The default FIFO was removed because no sense was seen in a "random" file.
