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.
