How would one go about merging several files at once?
I'm working on a crappy little barebones AIM toc client running in plan 9. It tentatively implements itself as a file server like this
/mnt/aim/buddies/bob/send # messages you send
/mnt/aim/buddies/bob/recv # messages you get
/mnt/aim/buddies/bob/status # away, idle etc...
messages are sent by
echo hello>/mnt/aim/buddies/bob/send
and read by
tail -f /mnt/aim/buddies/bob/recv
bots attach by:
tail -f /mnt/aim/buddies/bob/recv | eliza >/mnt/aim/buddies/bob/send
I want to get functionality something like a traditional aim client by combining all three files, so new data in any of the three files come out at the same place(like doing three tail -f's in the same acme errors window).
What's the best way in Plan 9?
Also, is the interface reasonable(thanks to Andrey for the initial help)? Any other ideas?
Noah
