Thanks, but that's due to nroff justification to make the line lengths all the same; it's a property of how your man pages are formatting, not 'tail' per se, which means the proper change would be somewhere in the man-page macros not in coreutils proper. > I would write > > Print the most recent 10 lines of each FILE to standard output .... Hmm, why is "most recent" better than "last"? "Most recent" is a longer phrase, and technically, the lines most recently added to a file are not necessarily its last lines, so "most recent" is less technically accurate.
