How can I get the source code for the linux utility tail?
The tail utility is part of the coreutils on linux. Source tarball: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-7.4.tar.gz Source file: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/tail.c (original http link) I’ve always found FreeBSD to have far clearer source code than the gnu utilities. So here’s tail.c in the FreeBSD project: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/usr.bin/tail/tail.c?view=markup
