Hello,
I am trying to build Coreutils-9.3 from source. [1]
If I run ./configure && make, it builds.
But I noticed that it calculates some things wrong. So I decided to
enable some debugging. Any suggestions?
Since I found none, I looked up at the source and noticed the DU_DEBUG
define: [2]
Clarify that the NUM values for head and tail are indices, and briefly
describe the specifics of +NUM for tail.

Hi,
I noticed an asymmetry between head and tail regarding the -n +N syntax
of tail.
For context, I was calculating checksums of 1 GiB chunks of a big file a la:
for i in $(seq 500); do head -c 1G | sha1sum >chunk-$i.sha1; done < bigfile
This was int

This should be documented a bit more clearly and maybe be included in
the gotchas list.
I just prepared a patch that improves the way this behavior is
documented. I'll send this patch as part of a patch series I'm
currently working on.
I assume,

I assume, this is because lines are numbered one-based, so this is
more intuitive to use. But when working with bytes, one usually uses
offsets. Is there a more intuitive way to get the last part of a file
given an offset?
