        !            13: tail copies  the last part of  file, or of the  standard input if
        !            14: none is named, to the standard output.
        !            15: 
        !            16: The  given number  tells tail  where to begin  to copy  the data.
        !            17: Numbers of  the form +number measure the  starting point from the
        !            18: beginning of the file; those of the form -number measure from the
        !            19: end of the file.
        !            20: 
        !            21: A specifier of blocks, characters,  or lines (bb, c, or l, respec-
        !            22: tively) may follow the number;  the default is lines.  If no num-
        !            23: ber is specified, a default of -10 is assumed.
        !            24: 
        !            25: The -ff  option opens the  tail of a  file, and then  displays new
        !            26: material as it is added to a file.  This command lets you watch a
        !            27: file as it is being built, such as by nnrrooffff.  Note that when tail
        !            28: is invoked  with this option,  it does not  exit; therefore, when
        !            29: you wish to exit, type the interrupt character.
