According to
tail --help
-n, --lines=N output the last N lines, instead of the last
10;
or use +N to output lines starting with the
Nth
Yet, when I tried:
tail +2 FILENAME
I got:
tail: cannot open `+2' for reading: No such file or directory
==> FILENAME <==
[File contents from first line]
On every other UNIX on which I've tried it, tail +N works as
described.
It's hard for me to imagine that such an error got released; is there
something I overlooked?
Incidentally, the form:
tail --lines=+2 FILENAME
displayed as expected.
If this is an error, please fix ASAP.
Thanks,
JPW
