Would appreciate an alternative addressee for this.I propose the added feature for head and tail (GNU textutils) of inverted functioning by the use of the "-x" flag.
e.g.: > cat file.txt 1 2 3 > head -1 file.txt 1 > head -1 -x file.txt 2 3 > and equivalently for tail.It's a simple addition, and would be very useful for grabbing the other part of a file for either util.
