Hi,
"git grep 'tail.*+' -- '*.sh'" says that this will the first and only
instance of "tail -n +<number>". The syntax may be POSIX but not all
/usr/bin/tail unfortunately knows about it.
I tend to prefer "sed -n -e '3,$p'" for things like this for portability.
I'm fine with that, but I sometimes wonder if systems that do not like
"tail -n +3" really tend to like a "sed -n -e '3,$p'" :)
I have yet to come across a sed which doesn't support -n, the range
specifier and the p command, so yes, "sed -n -e '3,$p'" is very
portable indeed.
