Can the tail command display both lines and characters at the same time using multiple options?

The tail command does not support displaying both lines and characters simultaneously using multiple options. You can only specify one option for the number of lines or bytes to display at a time.

For example, you can use:

  • To display the last 10 lines:

    tail -n 10 filename
  • To display the last 100 bytes:

    tail -c 100 filename

If you need to view both lines and characters, you would have to run separate tail commands or use other tools like head or awk in combination with tail.
