[\fIFILE\fR]... -.SH DESCRIPTION -.\" Add any additional description here -.PP -Print the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output. -With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name. -With no FILE, or when FILE is \-, read standard input. -.PP -Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -.TP -\fB\-\-retry\fR -keep trying to open a file even if it is -inaccessible when tail starts or if it becomes -inaccessible later; useful when following by name, -i.e., with \fB\-\-follow\fR=\fIname\fR -.TP -\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-bytes\fR=\fIN\fR -output the last N bytes; alternatively, use +N to -output bytes starting with the Nth of each file -.TP -\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-follow[=\fR{name|descriptor}] -output appended data as the file grows; -\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-follow\fR, and \fB\-\-follow\fR=\fIdescriptor\fR are -equivalent -.TP -\fB\-F\fR -same as \fB\-\-follow\fR=\fIname\fR \fB\-\-retry\fR -.TP -\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-lines\fR=\fIN\fR -output the last N lines, instead of the last 10; -or use +N to output lines starting with the Nth -.TP -\fB\-\-max\-unchanged\-stats\fR=\fIN\fR -with \fB\-\-follow\fR=\fIname\fR, reopen a FILE which has not -changed size after N (default 5) iterations -to see if it has been unlinked or renamed -(this is the usual case of rotated log files) -.TP -\fB\-\-pid\fR=\fIPID\fR -with \fB\-f\fR, terminate after process ID, PID dies -.TP -\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR -never output headers giving file names -.TP -\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sleep\-interval\fR=\fIS\fR -with \fB\-f\fR, sleep for approximately S seconds -(default 1.0) between iterations. -.TP -\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR -always output headers giving file names -.TP -\fB\-\-help\fR -display this help and exit -.TP -\fB\-\-version\fR -output version information and exit -.PP -If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a `+', -print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, otherwise, -print the last N items in the file. N may have a multiplier suffix: -b 512, k 1024, m 1024*1024. -.PP -With \fB\-\-follow\fR (\fB\-f\fR), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, which -means that even if a tail'ed file is renamed, tail will continue to track -its end. This default behavior is not desirable when you really want to -track the actual name of the file, not the file descriptor (e.g., log -rotation). Use \fB\-\-follow\fR=\fIname\fR in that case. That causes tail to track the -named file by reopening it periodically to see if it has been removed and -recreated by some other program. -.SH AUTHOR -Written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, Ian Lance Taylor, and Jim Meyering. -.SH "REPORTING BUGS" -Report bugs to <bug\-coreutils@gnu.org>. -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -.br -This is free software.
