DOS的类型工作方式类似于*nux的cat，尽管就像cat一样，它也会转储整个文件，所以它不是真正的tail，但它将在必要时可用，而无需下载/安装真正的tail替代品。

你可以得到尾巴作为Cygwin的一部分。

我使用Tail For Windows。当然没有使用tail那么优雅，但这是在使用Windows。；）

下载tail命令，这是微软自己提供的Windows Server 2003资源工具包工具的一部分。

我写了这个批处理脚本。它不像Unix的“尾巴”那么复杂，但希望有人可以添加它来改进它，比如将输出限制在文件的最后10行，等等。如果你确实改进了这个脚本，请发送给我在抢劫~[at]~ gmail.com。

如果你使用PowerShell，那么这是有效的:

Get-Content filenamehere -Wait -Tail 30

把Stefan的评论贴在下面，这样大家就不会错过了

PowerShell 3引入了-Tail参数，只包含最后x行
