Interface TailOptions

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<TailOption>, OptionSet<TailOption>

All Known Implementing Classes:

TailOption, TailOptions.Default, TailOptionSet_cqs

public interface TailOptions
extends OptionSet<TailOption>

Interface implemented by all option sets for the tail command. It is recommended to use Tail.Options to specify a valid combination of options.

The options for the tail command are:

	-c		--chars		The count argument is in units of characters instead of lines. Starts from 1 and includes line ending characters.
	-q		--suppressHeaders		Suppresses printing of headers when multiple files are being examined.
	-s		--countFromStart		The count argument is relative to the beginning of the file instead of counting from the end of the file. For instance, tail -s 10 prints the lines starting from line 10; tail -s 1 prints the whole file.

This interface serves as an alias for the extended interface to simplify the command signature methods by avoiding generic parameters.
