-.TH TAILF 1 "March 2015" "util-linux" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-tailf \- follow the growth of a log file
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B tailf
-[option]
-.I file
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B tailf is deprecated.
-It may have unfixed bugs and will be removed from util-linux in March 2017.
-Nowadays it's safe to use
-.B tail -f
-(from coreutils), in contrast to what the original documentation below says.
-.PP
-.B tailf
-will print out the last 10 lines of the given \fIfile\fR and then wait
-for this \fIfile\fR to grow.  It is similar to
-.B tail -f
-but does not access the file when it is not growing.  This has the side
-effect of not updating the access time for the file, so a filesystem flush
-does not occur periodically when no log activity is happening.
-.PP
-.B tailf
-is extremely useful for monitoring log files on a laptop when logging is
-infrequent and the user wishes the hard disk to spin down to conserve
-battery life.
-.TP
-.BR \-n , " -\-lines=\fInumber\fR" , " \-\fInumber\fR"
-Output the last
-.I number
-lines, instead of the last 10.
-.TP
-\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version
-Display version information and exit.
-.TP
-\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help
-Display help text and exit.
-
-.SH AUTHOR
-This program was originally written by Rik Faith (faith@acm.org) and may be freely
-distributed under the terms of the X11/MIT License.  There is ABSOLUTELY
-NO WARRANTY for this program.
-
-The latest inotify-based implementation was written by Karel Zak (kzak@redhat.com).
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR less (1),
-.BR tail (1)
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-The tailf command is part of the util-linux package and is available from
-https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
