retail – tail with regular expressions

retail can output that part of a file (or pipe) following the last match of a regular expression, which can be useful for logfiles and various other kinds of data.

It is also a fully compliant implementation of the POSIX.1-2008 tail command, so you can theoretically replace your system tail with it.

This is free and open source software.
