<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<i>Tail</i> copies the named file to the standard output beginning at
a designated place. If no file is named, the standard input is
copied.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Copying begins at position <tt><font size=+1>+</font></tt><i>number</i> measured from the beginning,
or <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt><i>number</i> from the end of the input. <i>Number</i> is counted in lines,
1K blocks or bytes, according to the appended flag <tt><font size=+1>l</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>b</font></tt>, or <tt><font size=+1>c</font></tt>.
Default is <tt><font size=+1>&#8722;10l</font></tt> (ten ell).
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
The further flag <tt><font size=+1>r</font></tt> causes tail to print lines from the end of
the file in reverse order; <tt><font size=+1>f</font></tt> (follow) causes <i>tail</i>, after printing
to the end, to keep watch and print further data as it appears.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
The second syntax is that promulgated by POSIX, where the <i>numbers</i>
rather than the options are signed.<br>

<p><font size=+1><b>BUGS </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
Tails relative to the end of the file are treasured up in a buffer,
and thus are limited in length.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
According to custom, option <tt><font size=+1>+</font></tt><i>number</i> counts lines from 1, and counts
blocks and bytes from 0.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
<i>Tail</i> is ignorant of UTF.<br>
