- Short: Shows the n last lines of a file efficiently
-
- Tail is a simple utility that outputs just a few of the last lines of any
- file. It is just like the type command of AmigaDOS, but it types just the
- last lines of files. Note that tail is implemented in such a way that the
- input file is normally not entirely read from the beginning, to provide a
- better performance, specially for big files in hard disks or for floppy
- users. This is version 1.0, and includes portable source in C. Author:
