NAME
+ +
+ + tail – deliver the last part of a file
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + tail [ +−number[lbc][rf] ] [ file ] +
+ + tail [ −fr ] [ −n nlines ] [ −c nbytes ] [ file ]
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Tail copies the named file to the standard output beginning at + a designated place. If no file is named, the standard input is + copied. +
+ + Copying begins at position +number measured from the beginning, + or −number from the end of the input. Number is counted in lines, + 1K blocks or bytes, according to the appended flag l, b, or c. + Default is −10l (ten ell). +
+ + The further flag r causes tail to print lines from the end of + the file in reverse order; f (follow) causes tail, after printing + to the end, to keep watch and print further data as it appears. + +
+ + The second syntax is that promulgated by POSIX, where the numbers + rather than the options are signed.
+ +
+

EXAMPLES
+ +
+ + tail file
+ +
+ + Print the last 10 lines of a file.
+ +
+ tail +0f file
+ +
+ + Print a file, and continue to watch data accumulate as it grows.
+ +
+ sed 10q file
+ +
+ + Print the first 10 lines of a file.
+ +

+ +
+

BUGS
+ +
+ + Tails relative to the end of the file are treasured up in a buffer, + and thus are limited in length. +
+ + According to custom, option +number counts lines from 1, and counts + blocks and bytes from 0. +
+ + Tail is ignorant of UTF.
