- Rudimentary tail implementation.
## Missing features:
## Missing features
### Flags with features
* [ ] `--max-unchanged-stats` : with `--follow=name`, reopen a FILE which has not changed size after N (default 5) iterations to see if it has been unlinked or renamed (this is the usual case of rotated log files). With inotify, this option is rarely useful.
* [ ] `--retry` : keep trying to open a file even when it is or becomes inaccessible; useful when follow‐ing by name, i.e., with `--follow=name`

### Others
- [ ] The current implementation does not handle `-` as an alias for stdin.
## Possible optimizations:
## Possible optimizations
* [ ] Don't read the whole file if not using `-f` and input is regular file. Read in chunks from the end going backwards, reading each individual chunk forward.
