NAME:
tail - end-of-file printer
AUTHOR:
Eric Williams WD6CMU [71336,1424]
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:
OS9/68K v2.1, MW C v2.2
SYNTAX:
tail [<file>]
DESCRIPTION:
tail copies the last (up to 24) lines of the input data stream to
standard output. If no file name is provided, standard input is used.
If the input stream is a RBF-type device, a seek to the end of file is
used, otherwise lines of text are read and discarded to reach the end of
the file. In this manner, tail may be used to process data piped to it
from another program.
BUGS:
Hangs on zero-length files.
