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
10001000, `M' by 10241024, `GB' by 100010001000, `GB' by
102410241024, and so on for `T', `P', `E', `Z', and `Y'.

in here 'GB' is equivalent to 100010001000 and 102410241024
which is impossible.

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