Throw the enemies out with your tail! Guaranteed excitement with simple control! Tap & drag to where you want to move, release to rotate and attack with your tail. That's all it takes, and palm sweating experiences are waiting for you. Your tail will grow longer the more meat you eat. The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a live operating system, that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card.

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.
