RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.21  28-Aug-2022  hgutch Change back various occurrences of \*[Le], \*[Ge] (less/greater equal)
and \*(ua (upwards arrow) to literal "<=", ">=" and "^" whenever
appropriate (e.g., in code examples).
 1.20  15-Oct-2017  pgoyette Nit-picking: avoid split infinitive
 1.19  02-Oct-2017  wiz Sort options.

-qv are not specific to -r, so separate them.
Add -q and -v descriptions to the general option table.
 1.18  01-Oct-2017  maya Add arguments to tail:
-q: suppress filename headers when multiple files are used
-v: print filename headers even when only one file is used

head already supports the same arguments, which originated in GNU head.
GNU tail also has the same flags.


Add tac, a hard link to 'tail -rq'.
Prints a file in reverse line order.

Similar to GNU tac, but lacking any options.

Add accompanying documentation.
