acctmerg(1M)                                                   acctmerg(1M)

NAME
     acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [-aiptuv] [file] ...

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

OPTIONS
     -a   Produce output in ASCII version from the binary format.

     -i   Input files are ASCII versions of the binary format.

     -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 nota-
          tion 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
