=head1 NAME
tail.pl -- show tail of a file on LCD
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<tail.pl>
[B<-s> I<server>]
[B<-p> I<port>]
[B<-h>]
[B<-V>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<tail.pl> is a small example client for LCDd, the lcdproc server.
It shows the tail of th file given as parameter on the LCD.
If the LCD supports keys you can use the keys mapped to C<Up>, C<Down>,
C<Left> and C<Right> to scroll the contents shown on the screen.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-s> I<server>
Connect to the LCDd daemon at host I<server> instead of the default C<localhost>.
=item B<-p> I<port>
Use port I<port> when connecting to the LCDd server instead of the default
LCDd port C<13666>.
=item B<-h>
Display a short help page and exit.
=item B<-V>
Display tail.pl's version number and exit.
=back
=head1 SEE ALSO

L<LCDd(8)>
=head1 AUTHORS
tail.pl was written by various members of the LCDproc project team;
