Name
       tail - print lines from file

Syntax
       tail [ ±[number][lbcr] ] [ file ]

       tail [ ±[number][lbcf] ] [ file ]

Description
       The command copies the named file to the standard output beginning at a
       designated place.  If no file is named, the standard input is used.

       Copying begins at distance +number from the beginning, or -number  from
       the  end of the input.  The number is counted in units of lines, blocks
       or characters, according to the appended option l, b  or	 c.   When  no
       units are specified, counting is by lines.

       Specifying  r causes to print lines from the end of the file in reverse
       order.  The default for r is to print the entire file this way.	Speci‐
       fying  f	 causes	 not to quit at end of file , but rather to reread the
       file repeatedly.

Restrictions
       The results of the command are  unpredictable  with  character  special
       files.
