<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
|
|
<STRONG>finger</STRONG> [ options ] name ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
By default <STRONG>finger</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>finger</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>.plan</STRONG> in
|
|
their home directory, and the project on which they are working from the
|
|
file <STRONG>.project</STRONG> also in the home directory.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>Finger</STRONG> 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.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>Finger</STRONG> options include:
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-m</STRONG> Match arguments only on user name.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-l</STRONG> Force long output format.
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-p</STRONG> Suppress printing of the <STRONG>.plan</STRONG> files
|
|
|
|
<STRONG>-s</STRONG> Force short output format.

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
|
|
Only the first line of the <STRONG>.project</STRONG> file is printed.
|
|
|
|
There is no way to pass arguments to the remote machine as <STRONG>finger</STRONG> uses an
|
|
internet standard port.
