So, I'm parsing a log file that's being written out in
real time.
<logfile>
<entry><timestamp>123</timestamp><details>foo</details>
</entry>
<entry><timestamp>456</timestamp><details>bar</details>
</entry>
<--- no </logfile>, coz the file hasn't yet been closed
This is part of an event loop, so I want to have some code
that looks like this:
when logfile is readable:
read one <entry> node, including children
but don't try to read past </entry>, so that
the read won't block.
Any clues greatly appreciated,
Many TIA!
