OK, here goes.
How about putting tail in the name? And I suggest:
juju tail-debug-log [--from n | --last n]
with a synonym of --all for --from 1. Then put explicit termination
instructions in the help. Although I haven’t explained from or last, you should
explain carefully in the help.
(It’s only a suggestion, off the top of my head.) You could leave the old
syntax/name/options in place for compatibility.
BTW, if you are visiting the help/doc, then try to explain the options better.
For example:
-n, --lines (= 10)
output the last K lines; or use -n +K to output lines starting with the Kth
is really rather poor. What is K?? Is 10 the default? Why not say so
explicitly? What is the separator between the option and the value? Is that
what the equals sign is for??
