Todo

• Show some tail lines when using -w: Make a line cache (count total lines with wc -l) from the end of the file using some blocksize.

  1. Can be done with readlines() first. Then seek and read blocksize bytes from len(file)-blocksize and update cache.

  2. Later enable ncurses scrolling for earlier lines?

  3. Show n lines by default (a screenful / filecount?)
