概述与工作原理
`tail` displays the final lines of files (default: 10 lines). With the `-f` (follow) flag, `tail` remains open and continuously streams new log lines to your terminal in real-time as they are written by web servers, databases, and background services.
常用参数与选项说明
| Flag / Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -n [NUM] | Output the last NUM lines instead of the default 10. |
| -f | Follow mode; continuously output appended data as the file grows. |
| -F | Follow mode with retry; keeps tracking file even if rotated or recreated. |
