Is there a way to make tail output newlines?

When I do

tail -f $file

I see newlines as \n. For example:

permissions array(\n  0 => \n  stdClass::__set_state

Is there a way to make it turn into

permissions array(
  0 => 
    stdClass::__set_state

1What OS are you on? Are you using an unusual version of tail? – jjlin – 2015-02-09T21:04:03.470
