  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.
