# last

Use `last` to retrieve the last "n" rows of a table. `last` has a required amount parameter that indicates how many rows you would like returned. If more than one row is returned, an index column will be included showing the row number. `last` does not alter the order of the rows of the table.

## Examples

```shell
> ps | last 1

 pid │ name        │ status  │ cpu
─────┼─────────────┼─────────┼───────────────────
