"pihole tail" is a command used in Pi-hole, a network-wide ad blocker typically run on a Raspberry Pi or other Linux-based systems.

The "pihole" command is the main command used to interact with the Pi-hole software, and "tail" is a Unix command used to display the last few lines of a file in real-time.

When you execute "pihole tail" in the terminal, it will display the live log file of the Pi-hole. This log file contains information about blocked domains, queries made by clients on the network, and other relevant details. By tailing the log file, you can see real-time updates whenever new queries or blocked domains are logged by Pi-hole.
