ACCTMERG(ADM)                        UNIX System V



     Name
          acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files


     Syntax
          /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(F)] 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
