Tail
The tail
tool is a Linux command line tool that, as the name implies, outputs
the top N number of lines of given input text. By default tail
will output the
last 10 lines of the specified file or provided text. If more than 10 lines are
desired a number can be specified with the -n
flag. tail
is also the
counterpart to Head.
For example:
tail /etc/passwd
Will give us the last 10 lines of /etc/passwd
