acctmerg(1M)                                                   acctmerg(1M)


   NAME
         acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [-a] [-i] [-p] [-t] [-u] [-v] [file] . . .

   DESCRIPTION
         acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional files,
         all in the tacct format (see acct(4)) or an ASCII version thereof.
         It merges these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user ID
         and name) are identical, and expects the inputs to be sorted on those
         keys.  Options are:

         -a   Produce output in ASCII version of tacct.
         -i   Input files are in ASCII version of tacct.
         -p   Print input with no processing.
         -t   Produce a single record that totals all input.
         -u   Summarize by user ID, rather than user ID and name.
         -v   Produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more precise
              notation for floating-point numbers.

   EXAMPLES
         The following sequence is useful for making "repairs" to any file
         kept in this format:

               acctmerg -v <file1 > file2

         Edit file2 as desired ...

               acctmerg -i <file2 > file1
