To display the last lines of a file, you can use the tail command. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Display the last 10 lines (default):
tail filename.txt -
Display a specific number of last lines:
Use the-noption followed by the number of lines you want to see. For example, to display the last 5 lines:tail -n 5 filename.txt -
Display the last N bytes instead of lines:
You can use the-coption to view the last N bytes. For example, to view the last 20 bytes:tail -c 20 filename.txt
These commands will help you view the end of a file as needed.
