Believe it or not -- I struggle to believe it myself -- we've been ignoring tail's complaint that it doesn't know what --bytes means in the Android CI infrastructure since at least mid-2019. (To be fair, today wasn't the first time I'd seen that error message scroll by myself, but it was the first time I've bothered/had time to investigate.)
Statically (via a code search), I also see references to --lines, and toybox head already has the --bytes and --lines synonyms, so I've added that here too, even though I haven't strictly seen anyone trying/failing to use that personally yet. --- toys/posix/tail.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
