|
|
<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>−</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>−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>

Tails relative to the end of the file are treasured up in a buffer,

and thus are limited in length.
