C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\De Kus>tail --helpUsage: tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...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 options are mandatory for short options too.      --retry              keep trying to open a file even if it is                           inaccessible when tail starts or if it becomes                           inaccessible later; useful when following by name,                           i.e., with --follow=name  -c, --bytes=N            output the last N bytes  -f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]                           output appended data as the file grows;                           -f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are                           equivalent  -F                       same as --follow=name --retry  -n, --lines=N            output the last N lines, instead of the last 10      --max-unchanged-stats=N                           with --follow=name, 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)      --pid=PID            with -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies  -q, --quiet, --silent    never output headers giving file names  -s, --sleep-interval=S   with -f, sleep for approximately S seconds                           (default 1.0) between iterations.  -v, --verbose            always output headers giving file names      --help     display this help and exit      --version  output version information and exitIf the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a `+',print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, otherwise,print the last N items in the file.  N may have a multiplier suffix:b 512, k 1024, m 1024*1024.With --follow (-f), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, whichmeans that even if a tail'ed file is renamed, tail will continue to trackits end.  This default behavior is not desirable when you really want totrack the actual name of the file, not the file descriptor (e.g., logrotation).  Use --follow=name in that case.  That causes tail to track thenamed file by reopening it periodically to see if it has been removed andrecreated by some other program.Report bugs to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>.
