   head(1)POSIX:

   −n number The first number lines of each input file shall be copied to standard output. The application shall ensure that the number option-argument is a positive decimal integer.

   GNU:

   -n, --lines=[-]NUM print the first NUM lines instead of the first 10; with the leading ‘-‘, print all but the last NUM lines of each file

   😠

         tail(1): Could use it with reversing the order

         sed(1): Seems like the address cannot be negative…
