what name should i give ... - Skaperen - Oct-27-2017
what name should i give to a command that copies lines except for the last N lines?
RE: what name should i give ... - buran - Oct-27-2017
maybe...
truncate(n)
truncate_tail(n)
RE: what name should i give ... - Larz60+ - Oct-27-2017
truncated_write(n)
RE: what name should i give ... - Skaperen - Oct-28-2017
i'd like a shorter one, maybe "trun"?
RE: what name should i give ... - buran - Oct-28-2017
I would make it at least
trunc
RE: what name should i give ... - DeaD_EyE - Oct-28-2017
head | showing first N lines
tail | showing last N lines
trunc should be the best description.

i already have a command named
trunc (which is a better version of the GNU truncate command). and i like to make some kind of similarity of names for related thing ... head and tail are length 4.
