Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/tail
The -q option (to suppress filename headers) seems to confuse the
parsing of -1 (last line only), although using -n 1 instead of -1
seems to help. In the example below, a and b are empty files.
$ tail -1 a b
==> a <==
==> b <==
$ tail -1 -q a b
tail: cannot open `-q' for reading: No such file or directory
==> a <==
==> b <==
$ tail -n 1 -q a b
$ tail -q -1 a b
tail: invalid option -- 1
Try `tail --help' for more information.
$ tail -q -n 1 a b
