TAIL ST-UNIX User's Manual TAIL
COMMAND
tail - show the last few lines of a file.
FORMAT
tail [ +✓_number[lbc][r] ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
_✓T_✓a_✓i_✓l copies the named file (or standard input if no file is
given), to the standard output.
Copying begins at distance +_✓n_✓u_✓m_✓b_✓e_✓r from the beginning, or
-_✓n_✓u_✓m_✓b_✓e_✓r from the end of the input, where _✓n_✓u_✓m_✓b_✓e_✓r is counted
in units of lines, blocks or characters, according to the
option; l, b, or c. The default is to count by lines.
Specifying r causes tail to print from the starting point
backwards, i.e. in reverse order.
