bug#42711: Tail does not recognize line number spec for multiple files

[Anonymousemail]

This command gives an error:

$ tail -5 foo bar baz
tail: option used in invalid context -- 5

For comparison, the equivalent head commans works exactly as expected:

$ head -5 foo bar baz
==> foo <==
foo line 1
foo line 2
foo line 3
foo line 4
foo line 5

==> bar <==
bar line 1
bar line 2
bar line 3
bar line 4
bar line 5

==> baz <==
baz line 1
baz line 2
baz line 3
baz line 4
baz line 5
