NAME
who - show who is logged on
SYNOPSIS
who [-imqsuwHT] [--count] [--idle] [--heading] [--help]
[--message] [--mesg] [--version] [--writable] [file] [am
i]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of who. If
given no non-option arguments, who prints the following
information for each user currently logged on:
login name
terminal line
login time
remote hostname or X display
If given one non-option argument, who uses that instead of
/etc/utmp as the name of the file containing the record of
users logged on. /etc/wtmp is commonly given as an argu-
ment to who to look at who has previously logged on.
If given two non-option arguments, who prints only the
entry for the user running it (determined from its stan-
dard input), preceded by the hostname. Traditionally, the
two arguments given are `am i', as in `who am i'.
OPTIONS
-m Same as `who am i'.
-q, --count
Print only the login names and the number of users
logged on. Overrides all other options.
-s Ignored; for compatibility with other versions of
who.
-i, -u, --idle
After the login time, print the number of hours and
minutes that the user has been idle. `.' means the
user was active in last minute. `old' means the
user was idle for more than 24 hours.
-H, --heading
Print a line of column headings.

Like -s, plus after the login name print a charac-
ter indicating the user's message status:
