ACCTMERG(1M)         INTERACTIVE UNIX System         ACCTMERG(1M)



          NAME
               acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files

          SYNOPSIS
               /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [options] [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 pre-
                    cise 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
