How can the 'tail' command be used to view content starting from a specific line number in a file?

You can use the tail command to view content starting from a specific line number by using the -n option followed by a plus sign (+) and the line number. Here’s the syntax:

tail -n +<line_number> <filename>

For example, to view the content of a file named system.log starting from the 50th line, you would use:

tail -n +50 system.log

This command will display all lines from the 50th line to the end of the file.
