Tail (Unix)
tail is a program available on Unix, Unix-like systems, FreeDOS and MSX-DOS used to display the tail end of a text file or piped data.
The version of tail bundled in GNU coreutils was written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, Ian Lance Taylor, and Jim Meyering. The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. The FreeDOS version was developed by M. Aitchison. A tail command is also part of ASCII's MSX-DOS2 Tools for MSX-DOS version 2.
CCZE is tail-like while displaying its output in color.
pctail is similar to CCZE. It is a colorized tail programmed in Python which tails and colorizes syslog output.
Inotail was an implementation using the inotify Linux kernel interface (introduced in version 2.6.13 in August 2005) to check whether new data is available instead of polling every second, as the original tail did. However, newer versions[which?] of tail also started using inotifiy when possible, so Inotail became deprecated and is not longer maintained.
MultiTail not only displays logfiles in colors, it can also merge, filter, scrollback and split a terminal window into subwindows. It is more or less a combination of tail, sed, watch, CCZE/pctail, grep, diff, Beeper and others.
The command-syntax is:
By default, tail will output the last 10 lines of its input to the standard output. With command line options, the amount of output and the units (lines, blocks or bytes) may be changed.
