When we provide the names of two log files to MultiTail on the command line, it opens the two files in the same screen by splitting it into two parts.
For viewing more than two log files using MultiTail, we specify the number of columns in which the screen should be split by using the -s option followed the number of the column.
MultiTail also allows us to view multiple log files in the same screen without splitting the screen by differentiating the files on the basis of color. The color can be customized by using the -ci option.
