Documentation

Compare this many characters before appending file tail.

This value is used by the command logview-append-log-file-tail to compare part of the file on disk with part of the buffer to make sure (even if not with 100% guarantee) that the buffer really represents beginning of its backing file. The command will refuse to complete operation unless this check succeeds.
