Unix-based operating systems usually include a tool named tail. It displays the last 10 lines of a file whose name is provided as a command line argument. Write a Java program that provides the same behavior i.e. the user can specify how many lines to print from the terminal. Display an appropriate error message if the file requested by the user does not exist, or if the command line argument is omitted. Note: Make sure to display the last n lines of a file whose name is provided as a command line argument. You might need to pass a file as an argument, therefore make sure to have access to a sample file, the contents of which you want to print out.
