.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
By default
|
|
.B 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.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
A longer format also exists and is used by
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.B \&.plan
|
|
in their home
|
|
directory, and the project on which they are working from the file
|
|
.B \&.project
|
|
also in the home directory.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B Finger
|
|

|
|
standard format listing is provided on the remote machine.
