`tail()` limits each output table to the last `n` rows.
`tail()` produces one output table for each input table.
Each output table contains the last `n` records before the `offset`.
If the input table has less than `offset + n` records, `tail()` outputs all
records before the `offset`.
##### Function type signature
```js
(<-tables: stream[A], n: int, ?offset: int) => stream[A]

## Parameters
### n
({{< req >}})
Maximum number of rows to output.
### offset
Number of records to skip at the end of a table table before
limiting to `n`. Default is 0.
### tables
Input data. Default is piped-forward data (`<-`).
## Examples
- [Output the last three rows in each input table](#output-the-last-three-rows-in-each-input-table)
- [Output the last three rows before the last row in each input table](#output-the-last-three-rows-before-the-last-row-in-each-input-table)
### Output the last three rows in each input table
```js
import "sampledata"
sampledata.int()
|> tail(n: 3)
