uu_tail - Man Page

tail — 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.

Mandatory arguments to long flags are mandatory for short flags too.

-c,  --bytes

Number of bytes to print

-f,  --follow

Print the file as it grows

[possible values: descriptor, name]

-n,  --lines

Number of lines to print

--pid=PID

With -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies

-q,  --quiet

Never output headers giving file names

-s,  --sleep-interval=N

Number of seconds to sleep between polling the file when running with -f

--max-unchanged-stats=N

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); This option is meaningful only when polling (i.e., with --use-polling) and when --follow=name

-v,  --verbose

Always output headers giving file names

-z,  --zero-terminated

Line delimiter is NUL, not newline

--use-polling

Disable 'inotify' support and use polling instead

--retry

Keep trying to open a file if it is inaccessible

-F

Same as --follow=name --retry

-h,  --help

Print help

-V,  --version

Print version
