What are the immediate users of this command? Is something broken? Are
we in need of patching something? Does it solve some problem that "tail
-r" cannot solve?
I've checked pkgsrc and we are not

Hi
reversing lines currently:
BSDs: tail -r
GNU: tac
Anyone writing portable code: sed '1!G;h;$!d'
(Yes that actually works)
Attached diff adds a hard link tac (need set lists adjusted though, and
I have a man page). it doesn't add any of the GNU tac options.
Cost: a hard link.
