具体用法（copy自用户手册）：

NAME
       tail - output the last part of files

SYNOPSIS
       tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       Print the last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output.  With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the
       file name.  With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       --retry
              keep trying to open a file even if it is inaccessible when tail starts or if it becomes inaccessible later;  use-
              ful when following by name, i.e., with --follow=name

       -c, --bytes=N
              output the last N bytes

       -f, --follow[={name|descriptor}]
              output appended data as the file grows; -f, --follow, and --follow=descriptor are equivalent

       -F     same as --follow=name --retry

       -n, --lines=N
              output the last N lines, instead of the last 10

       --max-unchanged-stats=N
              with --follow=name, reopen a FILE which has not changed size after N (default 5) iterations to see if it has been
              unlinked or renamed (this is the usual case of rotated log files)

       --

              with -f, terminate after process ID, PID dies

       -q, --quiet, --silent
              never output headers giving file names

       -s, --sleep-interval=S
              with -f, sleep for approximately S seconds (default 1.0) between iterations.

       -v, --verbose
              always output headers giving file names

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a '+', print beginning with the Nth item from the start of
       each file, otherwise, print the last N items in the file.  N may have a multiplier suffix: b 512, k 1024, m 1024*1024.

       With  --follow (-f), tail defaults to following the file descriptor, which means that even if a tail'ed file is renamed,
       tail will continue to track its end.  This default behavior is not desirable when you really want to  track  the  actual
       name  of  the  file, not the file descriptor (e.g., log rotation).  Use --follow=name in that case.  That causes tail to
       track the named file by reopening it periodically to see if it has been removed and recreated by some other program.
