- <h3>Name</h3>
- tail - print part of a file
- <h3>Synopsis</h3>
- /testbin/tail <em>file</em> <em>location</em>
- <h3>Description</h3>
- tail prints the contents of a file starting at offset
- <em>location</em> within it, skipping the beginning.
- <p>
- It is somewhat similar in concept to the Unix tail command, but is not
- compatible, which is why it lives in testbin.
- <h3>Requirements</h3>
- tail uses the following system calls:
- <ul>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/open.html>open</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/read.html>read</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/lseek.html>lseek</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/close.html>close</A>
- <li> <A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A>
- </ul>
- tail should work once the basic system calls are complete, but will
- probably be most useful as a debugging tool while working on the file
- system assignment.
