17     Copy last lines from files to stdout. If no files listed, copy from
18     stdin. Filename "-" is a synonym for stdin.
19 
20     -n	Output the last NUMBER lines (default 10), +X counts from start
21     -c	Output the last NUMBER bytes, +NUMBER counts from start
22     -f	Follow FILE(s), waiting for more data to be appended

29     This version uses lseek, which is faster on large files.
