C++ Help with a question in my book
Hi

Implement the Unix command tail -n, where n is the number of lines from the end of the file to be copied to stdout.

I am having trouble understanding what this question means and dont understand what to do. Does anyone know what that question means?

thx

The idea is the user specifies a file and a number of lines, and the program opens the file and displays the last n lines in the console. Look into fstream for file I/O.
