Subject: implement 'tail -r' as synonym for 'tac'
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:39:26 -0600

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

POSIX is considering standardizing the Solaris/BSD behavior of 'tail -r'
rather than adding the GNU extension of 'tac' as a separate utility:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=877

This bug report serves as a reminder that we need to add 'tail -r'
support to coreutils, as well as a request for reviewers for the current
state of the proposal to make sure that it is not an onerous burden for
adding that code.
