All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

public class ReversedLinesFileReader
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Closeable

Reads lines in a file reversely (similar to a BufferedReader, but starting at the last line). Useful for e.g. searching in log files.

To build an instance, use ReversedLinesFileReader.Builder.
