       /usr/local/bin/mtail -version

Options:

    -q                  Quiet mode
    --quiet               "    "

     <filename>               - tails a local file.

     +<filename>              - attempts to sudo and tail a local file (will
                                prompt for pwd if required).

     <remotehost>:<filename>  - attempts to invoke tail via ssh on a remote
                                host.

     +<remotehost>:<filename> - attempts to invoke sudo tail via ssh on a
                                remote host (will prompt for pwd if required).
