Hi,

GNU tail has an option to output the last n bytes:

$ tail --help
...
  -c, --bytes=N            output the last N bytes
...

In the current coreutils version (5.3.0-3) the short option version
stopped working:

$ tail -c 30
tail: cannot open `30' for reading: No such file or directory

while
$ tail --bytes=30
still works.

Best regards,

Krisztian Fekete
