Change back various occurrences of \*[Le], \*[Ge] (less/greater equal)
and \*(ua (upwards arrow) to literal "<=", ">=" and "^" whenever
appropriate (e.g., in code examples).

Nit-picking: avoid split infinitive

Sort options.

-qv are not specific to -r, so separate them.
Add -q and -v descriptions to the general option table.

Add arguments to tail:
  -q: suppress filename headers when multiple files are used
  -v: print filename headers even when only one file is used

head already supports the same arguments, which originated in GNU head.
GNU tail also has the same flags.


Add tac, a hard link to 'tail -rq'.
Prints a file in reverse line order.

Similar to GNU tac, but lacking any options.

Add accompanying documentation.

Add EXIT STATUS section. Use Ex.

Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.

Sort sections.

Whitespace cleanup.

More and more .Os cleanups.  .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages.  Many more to
come.

Add bugs section noting that, with -F, tail can fail to detect a file
truncation. Also note that -F option is an extension.

Add -F option to follow files though rotations and truncations.

WARNSify, fix .Nm usage, deprecate register, getopt returns -1 not EOF

Merged with 4.4lite.
Changed to conform to NetBSD's new RCS Id convention.
