tac

tac is a high-performance, cross-platform rewrite of the GNU tac utility of Coreutils.

This tac implementation uses memory-mapped files on all supported operating systems and is written in rust for maximum integrity and safety.

Usage

``` Usage: tac [OPTIONS] [FILE1..] Write each FILE to standard output, last line first. Reads from STTDIN if no file is specified.

Options: -v --version: Print version and exit. -h --help : Print this help text and exit ```

tac reads lines from any combination of stdin and/or zero or more files and writes the lines to the output in reverse order.

Since tac is implemented via memory-mapped files, there is no limit on line length and no danger of memory exhaustion.

Example

$ echo -e "hello\nworld" | tac world hello

Installation

tac may be installed via cargo, the rust package manager:

cargo install tac
