[illumos-Developer] [REVIEW] 244: Need replacement for closed /usr/bin/tail and /usr/xpg4/bin/tail

[cjlove at san.rr.com]

I'd like a review of 244: Need replacement for closed /usr/bin/tail
and /usr/xpg4/bin/tail

Two webrevs are provided:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~cjlove/tail  - relative to Illumos source tree
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~cjlove/tail_freebsd - relative to original FreeBSD code

Two testsuites are included in usr/src/cmd/tail/tests: one derived
from the libshell testsuite for tail, one derived from the GNU 
CoreUtils testsuite.  Both testsuites have been validated against
legacy Solaris tail and the new tail.

I've done nightly and Illumos boots with the replacement tail in
place.  There is also an x86 tail binary attached to the defect).

Regards,
    Chris
