+## API Reference
+
+### `readeof(filePath, maxLines, options?)`
+
+Reads the last N lines from a file efficiently.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `filePath` | `string` | Path to the file to read from |
+| `maxLines` | `number` | Total lines to read from the end of the file |
+| `options` | `ReadOptions \| StreamOptions` | Optional configuration options |
+
+#### ReadOptions
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `encoding` | `BufferEncoding` | `'utf8'` | File encoding |
+| `bufferSize` | `number` | `16384` | Buffer size for reading (16KB) |
+
+#### StreamOptions (extends ReadOptions)
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | `boolean` | - | Enable streaming mode |
+| `pollInterval` | `number` | `1000` | Polling interval in milliseconds |
+| `signal` | `AbortSignal` | - | Signal to stop streaming |
+
+#### Returns
+
+- **Without streaming**: `Promise<string>` - The last N lines as a single string
+- **With streaming**: `AsyncGenerator<string>` - Yields each line as it appears
