-a Show all record ntypes.
-b Show last system reboot.
-d Show all dead processes.
-f Show the name or IP address of the host the user originates from in
the output.
-H Provide column headings in the output. The default is to not show
headings.
-l (Currently provides no action and is available for compatability.)
-m Only print information about the current terminal. This is the
POSIX way of saying who am i.
-p (Currently provides no action and is available for compatability.)
-q (Quick.) List only the names and the number of users currently
logged on. When this option is used, all other options are ignored.
-r (Currently provides no action and is available for compatability.)
-s Show only the name, line and time coloumns. This is the default
output.
-t Show the last update to the system clock. This information will
only appear when the change happens from an Interix process.
-T Print a character after the user name indicating the state of the
terminal line: `+' if the terminal is writable; `-' if it is not;
and `'? if a bad line is encountered.
-u Print the idle time for each user.
-H Write column headings above the regular output.
am I Returns the invoker's real user name.
file By default, who gathers information from the file /var/adm/utmpx.
An alternate file may be specified which is usually /var/adm/wtmpx
(or /var/log/wtmp.[0-6] depending on site policy as wtmp can grow
quite large and daily versions may or may not be kept around after
compression by ac(8)). The wtmp file contains a record of every
login, logout, crash, shutdown and date change since wtmp was last
truncated or created.
If /var/adm/wtmpx is being used as the file, the user name may be empty
or one of the special characters '|', '}' and '~'. Logouts produce an
output line without any user name. For more information on the special
characters, see utmp(5).
