Explanation Execute the specified command, and display the last output of the command by the
specified number of lines.
If the output of the specified command does not reach the specified number of lines, all
output will be displayed.
If the pager "5.17.2.1 terminal pager" (pg.337) is enabled, the pager will act for the output
(the last output part of the specified command) of this command.
Caution Enter a space character before and after a command pipe character ("|"). A command
pipe character can be specified only once, and the "tail" command can be specified only
once.
A sentence up to a new-line character is assumed to be one line. A statement that is too
long is divided into multiple lines on the screen, and the number of lines specified in the
argument may not match that of lines on the screen.
Specifying a command that requires a long time to execute, may result in a long wait time
until the command output.
This command acts for a "display" command such as the "show" command.
It displays all the command output for a control command such as the "telnet" command.
