Hi,
Seems tail from coreutils 8.27 (as installed by Gentoo) doesn't handle
the usecase of following more than one i/o stream or pipe file, e.g.
tail -F -c +0 \
<(while true; do date; sleep 1; done) \
<(while true; do date +%s; sleep 1; done)
Prints output of just first sub-script.
This has been described at length here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1243634/how-to-tail-multiple-pipe-files-or-streams
Is it really a bug? Or is my expectation wrong? If that's bug, I am
happy to file a proper bugreport and maybe even debug it and make a
patch.
Thanks in advance.
