daemon.go

/*
CompileDaemon is a very simple compile daemon for Go.

CompileDaemon watches your .go files in a directory and invokes `go build`
if a file changes.

Examples

In its simplest form, the defaults will do. With the current working directory set
to the source directory you can simply…

    $ CompileDaemon

… and it will recompile your code whenever you save a source file.

If you want it to also run your program each time it builds you might add…

    $ CompileDaemon -command="./MyProgram -my-options"

… and it will also keep a copy of your program running. Killing the old one and
starting a new one each time you build.

You may find that you need to exclude some directories and files from
monitoring, such as a .git repository or emacs temporary files…

    $ CompileDaemon -exclude-dir=.git -exclude=".#*"

If you want to monitor files other than .go and .c files you might…

    $ CompileDaemon -include=Makefile -include="*.less" -include="*.tmpl"

Options

There are command line options.

	FILE SELECTION
	-directory=XXX    – which directory to monitor for changes
	-recursive=XXX    – look into subdirectories
	-exclude-dir=XXX  – exclude directories matching glob pattern XXX
	-exlude=XXX       – exclude files whose basename matches glob pattern XXX
	-include=XXX      – include files whose basename matches glob pattern XXX
	-pattern=XXX      – include files whose path matches regexp XXX

	MISC
	-color            - enable colorized output
	-log-prefix       - Enable/disable stdout/stderr labelling for the child process
	-graceful-kill    - On supported platforms, send the child process a SIGTERM to
	                    allow it to exit gracefully if possible.
	ACTIONS
	-build=CCC        – Execute CCC to rebuild when a file changes
	-command=CCC      – Run command CCC after a successful build, stops previous command first
