- _✓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.
