NAME
       tail - print the last few lines of a file

SYNOPSIS
       tail [-c n] [-f] [-n n] [file] ...

OPTIONS
       -c   # The count refers to characters

       -f   # On FIFO or special file, keep reading after EOF

       -n   # The count refers to lines

EXAMPLES
       tail -n 6	   # Print last 6 lines of stdin

       tail -c 20 file	   # Print the last 20 characters of file

       tail -n 1 file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
       The last few lines of one or more files are printed.  The default count
       is 10 lines.  The default file is stdin.	 If the value of n for the  -c
       or  -n  flags  starts  with a + sign, counting starts at the beginning,
       rather than the end of the file.
