		Tail accepts the line separator as second parameter. If nothing is passed it is defaulted to new line '\n'.
		Tail constructor accepts few parameters:

		```javascript

		var lineSeparator= "-";
		var fileToTail = "/path/to/fileToTail.txt";
		var lineSeparator= "\n";
		var fromBeginning = false;
		var watchOptions = {}; \\ as per node fs.watch documentations

		new Tail("fileToTail",lineSeparator)
		new Tail(fileToTail, lineSeparator, fromBeginning, watchoptions)
		```

		* `fileToTail` is the name (inclusive of the path) of the file to tail
		* `lineSeparator` is the line separator token (default "\n")
		* `fromBeginning` force the tail of the file from the very beginning of it instead of from the first new line that will be appended(default: "\n")
		* `watchOptions` is the full set of options that can be passed to `fs.watch` as per node documentation (default: {})

		The only mandatory one is the first, i.e. the the file you want to tail.

		Tail emits two type of events:

		* line
		* line
