"tail" function in linux
 

The tail function in Unix has a -r option which reverses the order of the lines in the file specified on the command line.

The tail function in Linux doesn't have the -r option.

Does anyone know of an equivalent function in linux?

Thanks

head == tail -r

The head utility displays from the beginning of a file.

If that doesn't give you what you want, look at tac (the opposite of cat). It displayes the lines of a file in reverse order.

Or, possibly tail <filename> | tac would do the job.
