+ * Description:
+ * `tail_match' uses `utils_tail' and `utils_match' to tail a file and try to
+ * match it using several regular expressions. Matches are then passed to
+ * user-provided callback functions or default handlers. This should keep all
+ * of the parsing logic out of the actual plugin, which only operate with
+ * regular expressions.

+ * When using this interface the `tail_match' module doesn't dispatch any

+ * The
