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 exit
If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a plus sign (+),
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, which means
that even if a tail’ed file is renamed, tail continues to track its end. This
default behavior is not desirable to track the actual name of the file, not
the file descriptor (for example, log rotation). To track the actual name
of the file, use --follow=name. This causes tail to track the named file by
reopening it periodically to see if it was removed and recreated by another
program.
