Getting Started with tail
## What is tail?
The `tail` command outputs the last part of a file. By default it prints the last 10 lines. The `-f` flag is widely used to follow growing log files in real time.
## How to Use
1. **Set Options**: Enable `-f` to follow the file, or enter a line count in the Lines field. 2. **Specify File**: Enter the file to read. 3. **Copy & Run**: Copy the generated command into your terminal.
Common Options
### `-f` Follow Output appended data as the file grows. Ideal for monitoring log files. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
### `-n` Number of lines Print the last N lines instead of the default 10. Leave the field empty (0) to use the default.
