I'm working on that as well. I just fixed cat to crash and log on error, and I'll be fixing the other commands soon.

By the way, I'm wondering how I should go through the file line by line with a reader.

I think the most efficient way may be to scan byte by byte from the start (head) or the end (tail), and count until reaching n amount of newlines (or stop if at the end of the file), then print the bytes between the start/end and the nth newline.

How does this sound?
