All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`String[]`	`getArgs()` Returns the `<args>` operand value: String arguments defining the options and operands for the command.
`long`	`getCount()` Returns the `<count>` operand value: The last `count` lines of each input file are copied to standard output, starting from 1 (characters instead of lines if the `-c` option is specified, and offset from start instead of end with `-s` option).
`File[]`	`getFiles()` Returns the `<files>` operand value: The input files to be filtered; relative paths are not resolved (use the string paths argument to enable relative path resolving based on the current working directory).

`Input[]`	`getInputs()` Returns the `<inputs>` operand value: The inputs to be filtered.
`TailOptions`	`getOptions()` Returns the options set containing the selected command options.
`String[]`	`getPaths()` Returns the `<paths>` operand value: Path names of the input files to be filtered; wildcards * and ? are supported; relative paths are resolved on the basis of the current working directory.

```
public TailOptions getOptions()
```
    Returns the options set containing the selected command options. Returns an empty options set if no option has been selected.

  - getForContext
```
public TailArguments getForContext(ExecutionContext context)
```
    Description copied from interface: Arguments
    
    Returns an arguments object for the given execution context with resolved variables if necessary and possible. If variables are defined in this arguments instance, a new arguments instance is created with values instead of variables for those variables that are defined in the specified context object. If this arguments instance uses no variables, this arguments instance is simply returned.
    If variables are present, they are resolved if such a variable is defined in the VariableContext returned by context.getVariableContext(). Values are converted if necessary with the ValueConverters returned by context.getValueConverterFor(Class).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getForContext in interface Arguments<TailArguments>
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the execution context providing access to variables and converters
    
    Returns:
    
    an arguments object with resolved variables where possible
  - getCount
```
public long getCount()
```
    Returns the <count> operand value: The last count lines of each input file are copied to standard output, starting from 1 (characters instead of lines if the -c option is specified, and offset from start instead of end with -s option). Must be a non-negative integer or an exception is thrown. If count is greater than the number number of lines (characters) in the input, the application will not error and send the whole file to the output.
    
    Returns:
    
    the <count> operand value (variables are not resolved)
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if this operand has never been set
  - isCountSet
```
public boolean isCountSet()
```
    Returns true if the <count> operand has been set.
    Note that this method returns true even if null was passed to the setCount(long) method.
