## ztail
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write a program that behaves like a simplified `tail` command but which takes at least one file as argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The only option to be handled is `-c` and will be used in all the tests as the first argument, with positive values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this program the `os` package can be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handle the errors by returning a non-zero exit status but process all the files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If several files are given, print a new line and the file name between each one of them (see below).
|
|

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
