Under Mac OS X, with tail 5.92 installed by DarwinPorts:
prunille:~> echo abcd > blah
prunille:~> /opt/local/bin/gtail -c 2 blah
/opt/local/bin/gtail: cannot open `2' for reading: No such file or directory
==> blah <==
abcd
zsh: exit 1 /opt/local/bin/gtail -c 2 blah
prunille:~[1]> /opt/local/bin/gtail --version
tail (GNU coreutils) 5.92
[...]
"info tail" still says:
-c, --bytes=N
output the last N bytes
and AFAIK, this -c option is a POSIX requirement.
I had no problems with tail from the coreutils 5.2.1.
This is a regression.
