indicate last logins of users and teletypes

SYNTAX
last [ -N ] [ name ... ] [ tty ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Last will look back in the wtmp file which records all logins and
logouts for information about a user, a teletype or any group of
users and teletypes. Arguments specify names of users or
teletypes of interest. Names of teletypes may be given fully or
abbreviated. For example `last 0' is the same as `last tty0'.
If multiple arguments are given, the information which applies to
any of the arguments is printed. For example `last root console'
would list all of "root's" sessions as well as all sessions on
the console terminal. Last will print the sessions of the
specified users and teletypes, most recent first, indicating the
times at which the session began, the duration of the session,
and the teletype which the session took place on. If the session
is still continuing or was cut short by a reboot, last so
indicates.
If last is interrupted, it indicates how far the search has
progressed in wtmp. If interrupted with a quit signal (generated
by a control-\) last indicates how far the search has progressed
so far, and the search continues. Last with no arguments prints
a record of all logins and logouts, in reverse order. The -N
option limits the report to N lines.
