||
NAME
|
||
finger - user information lookup program
|
||
|
||
SYNOPSIS
|
||
finger [ options ] name ...
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION
|
||
By default finger lists the login name, full name, terminal name and
|
||
write status (as a `*' before the terminal name if write permission is
|
||
denied), idle time, login time, and office location and phone number (if
|
||
they are known) for each current UNIX user. (Idle time is minutes if it
|
||
is a single integer, hours and minutes if a ':' is present, or days and
|
||
hours if a 'd' is present.)
|
||
|
||
A longer format also exists and is used by finger whenever a list of
|
||
people's names is given. (Account names as well as first and last names
|
||
of users are accepted.) This format is multi-line, and includes all the
|
||
information described above as well as the user's home directory and
|
||
login shell, any plan which the person has placed in the file .plan in
|
||
their home directory, and the project on which they are working from the
|
||
file .project also in the home directory.
|
||
|
||
Finger may be used to lookup users on a remote machine. The format is to
|
||
specify the user as ``user@host.'' If the user name is left off, the
|
||
standard format listing is provided on the remote machine.
|
||
|
||
Finger options include:
|
||
|
||
-m Match arguments only on user name.
|
||
|
||
-l Force long output format.
|
||
|
||
-p Suppress printing of the .plan files
|
||
|
||
-s Force short output format.
|
||

BUGS
|
||
Only the first line of the .project file is printed.
|
||
|
||
There is no way to pass arguments to the remote machine as finger uses an
|
||
internet standard port.
