Thus, rather than resolving tails.boum.org to 204.13.164.188, it resolves it to 1.2.3.4, the IP address of the scam copy of the Tails website. This would fool almost all users of Tails. $ tail -40 -f /var/log/system.log. Extract lines 40-50 from a file, first using head to get the first 50 lines then tail to get the last 10: $ head -50 file.txt tail -10 'Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail' Henry Wheeler Shaw. Related macOS commands: cat - Concatenate and print (display) the content of files.
Display the last part of a file. Display the contents of file or, by default, it's standard input, to the standard output.
If more than a single file is specified, each file is preceded by a header consisting of the string >XXX< where XXX is the name of the file.
The Process Control keyboard shortcuts can be used while tail is running.
The display begins at a byte, line or 512-byte block location in the input.
Numbers having a leading plus (+) sign are relative to the beginning of the input, for example, -c +2 starts the display at the second byte of the input. Numbers having a leading minus (-) sign or no explicit sign are relative to the end of the input, for example, -n 2 displays the last two lines of the input.
The default starting location is -n 10, or the last 10 lines of the input.
The tail utility is expected to be a superset of the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (POSIX.2) specification. In particular, the -F, -b and -r options are extensions to that standard.
The tail utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
