I'm looking through some of the scripts that are on the servers and came across an 80MB shell script. Naturally curious I decided to look in there and came across this line:
tail +4802 $0 |
zcat - |
(cd $LANG_TMP &&
tar -xf - loc/$LANGPRE$LANGPOST.po loc/poextract) >>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null
Can someone give me a general gist of what this line is supposed to do? I've never seen a tail +
command before, usually it's tail -
.
tail --help
