displays the tail end of a text file

Nktail

A command line tool used to display the tail end of a text file or piped data. I.e. it is kind of custom analogue for Unix tail program.

Install

$ pip install nktail

Usage

$ nktail [options] <filename>

Options

By default, nktail will output the last 10 lines of the passed file. You can set any count of output lines using -n option.

$ nktail -n 100 <filename>

If you run nktail with -f option, it displays the lines and then monitors the file. As new lines are added to the file by another process, tail updates the display.

$ nktail -f <filename>
