With the `-f` option, the change information of the file will always be output unless the user exits the monitoring state with <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>. This option is very frequently used to track log files (the logs) in real time.

Without the `-n` option, the `tail` command displays the last 10 lines of the file.
