WHO(1) GENIX Programmer's Manual WHO(1)
NAME
who - who is on the system
SYNOPSIS
who [ who-file ] [ am I ]
DESCRIPTION
Who, without an argument, lists the login name, terminal name, and
login time for each current UNIX user.
Without an argument, who examines the /etc/utmp file to obtain its
information. If a file is given, that file is examined. Typically
the given file will be /usr/adm/wtmp, which contains a record of all
the logins since it was created. Then who lists logins, logouts,
and crashes since the creation of the wtmp file. Each login is
listed with user name, terminal name (with `/dev/' suppressed), and
date and time. When an argument is given, logouts produce a similar
line without a user name. Reboots produce a line with `x' in the
place of the device name, and a fossil time indicative of when the
system went down.
With two arguments, as in `who am I' (and also `who are you'), who
tells who you are logged in as.
