- TAIL ---
-
-
- The TAIL utility displays the last n lines of specified files.
- The syntax is:
-
- TAIL -<count> <files or directories>
-
- As above, <files or directories> specifies a list of (possibly
- wild-carded) files and directories full of files to be operated
- upon. The <count> option, if not specified, defaults to 10.
- Otherwise you can specify how many of the last lines for each
- file to be displayed. The maximum value for <count> is about
- 450. If a line exceeds 130 characters, TAIL will truncate it.
- If no <files or directories> is specified, TAIL will get its
- input from the keyboard (or redirected input).
-
- Examples:
-
- TAIL -3 *.lst
- will list the last 3 lines of ever file with a .LST
- extension in the current directory.
-
- TAIL <input
- is equivalent to
- TAIL input
- and will list the last 10 lines of the file INPUT.
-
- TAIL -50 /temp
- will print the last 50 lines of every file in the /temp
- directory.
