Package: coreutils Version: 9.1-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/man/man1/tail.1.gz Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: a...@kernel.org, a...@nginx.com, l...@nginx.com
Dear maintainer, `tail -1` works equivalently to `tail -n1`, but is undocumented. As far as I can see, it's not in POSIX, but is available in several systems. I guessed that it's not documented because it looks like a backwards-compatibility feature not intended to be used by new scripts, but still it would be good to document it, and maybe mark it as a deprecated feature. Could you please add it to the manual page?
