Modified files:
usr.bin/tail extern.h forward.c tail.1 tail.c
Log:
Add a new -F flag which is a superset of -f. It will cause tail to
stat() the file being followed and do a close/reopen if the file has been
renamed and/or rotated. This is damn useful for leaving running on files
in /var/log when newsyslog(8) rotates them.
