Hi:
Is any command faster than
cat filename
to reach and print on screen the last page of the file?
what kind of "file"?
tail -n 10 filename
makes output of last 10 lines of a file. But if there are no
linefeeds/ carriage return in the files, the it makes no sense.
tac filename > filename_taced
Hey, cool. I never knew that...
turns around a file, the end becomes the beginning.
head -n 10 filename_taced | tac
Why use an intermediary file instead of a pipe?
$ tac filename | head -n10
