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
