title: If i let a tail -f running on a file, does it prevent it from being deleted?
body: <p>The operating system is AIX. I have done multiple tests by running tail -f commands on text files. Then from another terminal session i try to delete the tailed file. I have always been successful to delete them and no problem occurred but i did not find any factual documentation saying that tail -f does not lock or prevent a file from being deleted. So i would like to know if there is such a formal information and if the tail command may lock or prevent a file from being deleted how can i reproduce the use case ?</p>
