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 will continue to track its end. This + default behavior is not desirable when you really want + to track the actual name of the file, not the file + descriptor (e.g., log rotation). Use --follow=name in + that case. That causes tail to track the named file by + reopening it periodically to see if it has been removed + and recreated by some other program. + +AUTHOR + Written by Paul Rubin, David MacKenzie, Ian Lance Tay- + lor, and Jim Meyering. + +REPORTING BUGS + Report bugs to . + +COPYRIGHT + Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + This is free software; see the source for copying condi- + tions.
