Summary: tail fails on systems which enforce POSIX
Product: eCos
Version: unknown
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: normal
Component: Kernel
AssignedTo: jifl@ecoscentric.com
ReportedBy: bsder@allcaps.org
QAContact: ecos-bugs@ecos.sourceware.org
Class: ---
Despite being widely used, the 'head/tail -N' syntax isn't POSIX
compliant. It needs to be changed to 'head/tail -n -N' or 'head/tail -n +N'.
The symptom is:
tail: cannot open `+2' for reading: No such file or directory
