    usage: tail [-n|c NUMBER] [-f] [FILE...]

    Copy last lines from files to stdout. If no files listed, copy from
    stdin. Filename "-" is a synonym for stdin.

    -n	output the last NUMBER lines (default 10), +X counts from start.
    -c	output the last NUMBER bytes, +NUMBER counts from start
    -f	follow FILE(s), waiting for more data to be appended

config TAIL_SEEK
  bool "tail seek support"
  default y
  depends on TAIL
  help
    This version uses lseek, which is faster on large files.
