NAME
tail - deliver the last part of a file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/tail [±s number [lbcr]] [file]
/usr/bin/tail [-lbcr] [file]
/usr/bin/tail [± number [lbcf]] [file]
/usr/bin/tail [-lbcf] [file]
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail [-f | -r] [-c number | -n number] [file]
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail [± number [l | b | c] [f]] [file]
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail [± number [l] [f | r]] [file]
DESCRIPTION
The tail utility 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 a point in the file indicated by the -c number, -n
number, or ± number options (if + number is specified, begins at dis‐
tance number from the beginning; if - number is specified, from the
end of the input; if number is NULL, the value 10 is assumed). number
is counted in units of lines or byte according to the -c or -n options,
or lines, blocks, or bytes, according to the appended option l, b, or
c. When no units are specified, counting is by lines.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for both /usr/bin/tail and
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail. The -r and -f options are mutually exclusive. If
both are specified on the command line, the -f option is ignored.
-b Units of blocks.
-c Units of bytes.
-f Follow. If the input-file is not a pipe, the program does not
terminate after the line of the input-file has been copied, but
enters an endless loop, wherein it sleeps for a second and then
attempts to read and copy further records from the input-file.
Thus it can be used to monitor the growth of a file that is being
written by some other process.
-l Units of lines.
-r Reverse. Copies lines from the specified starting point in the
file in reverse order. The default for r is to print the entire
file in reverse order.
/usr/xpg4/bin/tail
The following options are supported for /usr/xpg4/bin/tail only:
-c number The number option-argument must be a decimal integer whose
sign affects the location in the file, measured in bytes,
to begin the copying:
+ Copying starts relative to the beginning of the
file.
− Copying starts relative to the end of the file.
none Copying starts relative to the end of the file.
The origin for counting is 1; that is, -c +1 represents
the first byte of the file, -c −1 the last.
-n number Equivalent to -c number, except the starting location in
the file is measured in lines instead of bytes. The origin
for counting is 1. That is, -n +1 represents the first
line of the file, -n −1 the last.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
file A path name of an input file. If no file operands are speci‐
fied, the standard input is used.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the tail Command
The following command prints the last ten lines of the file fred, fol‐
lowed by any lines that are appended to fred between the time tail is
initiated and killed.
example% tail -f fred
The next command prints the last 15 bytes of the file fred, followed by
any lines that are appended to fred between the time tail is initiated
and killed:
example% tail -15cf fred

NOTES
Piped tails relative to the end of the file are stored in a buffer, and
thus are limited in length. Various kinds of anomalous behavior can
happen with character special files.
