Can tail be used with multiple files?

0142

Yes, the tail command can be used with multiple files. You can specify multiple file names as arguments to the tail command, and it will display the last few lines of each file in the order they are provided.

Here’s an example:

tail file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

This command will show the last 10 lines (by default) of file1.txt, file2.txt, and file3.txt. You can also use options like -n to specify the number of lines you want to display from each file:

tail -n 5 file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

This will display the last 5 lines of each specified file.
