NAME

tac - concatenate and print files in reverse  

SYNOPSIS

tac [-br] [-s separator] [--before] [--regex] [--separator=separator] [file...]  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of tac. tac copies each given file, or the standard input if none are given or when a file name of `-' is encountered, to the standard output with the order of the records reversed. The records are separated by instances of a string, or a newline if none is given. By default, the separator string is attached to the end of the record that it follows in the file.  

OPTIONS

-b, --before
The separator is attached to the beginning of the record that it precedes in the file.
-r, --regex
The separator is a regular expression.
-s, --separator separator
Use separator as the record separator.

The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
