When describing -c option for tail command it says:

`-c BYTES'
`--bytes=BYTES'
     Output the last BYTES bytes, instead of final lines.  However, if
     N starts with a `+', start printing with the Nth byte from the
     start of each file, instead of from the end.  Appending `b'
     multiplies BYTES by 512, `kB' by 1000, `K' by 1024, `MB' by
     1000*1000, `M' by 1024*1024, `GB' by 1000*1000*1000, `GB' by
     1024*1024*1024, and so on for `T', `P', `E', `Z', and `Y'.

in here 'GB' is equivalent to 1000*1000*1000 and 1024*1024*1024
which is impossible.

this is in file [coreutils.git] / doc / coreutils.texi for tail documentation.
