NAME
tail - deliver the last part of a file
SYNOPSIS
tail +_number[lbc___] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
_T_a_i_l 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 +_n_u_m_b_e_r from the beginning, or -_n_u_m_b_e_r from the end of the input. _N_u_m_b_e_r 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.
SEE ALSO

BUGS
Tails relative to the end of the file are treasured up in a buffer, and thus are limited in length. Various kinds of anomalous behavior may happen with character special files.
