The default output consists of login, user ID, primary group, primary group ID and comment field formatted into columns.

The fields show how long the account can be unused (in days) before it becomes inactive and the date the account will expire. Display logins with duplicate UIDs. Show multiple group membership data. Display with alternate format of one line of colon separated fields. Display logins with no passwords Display all system logins Sort output by login rather than UID. Display all user logins. Display extended information about selected users. This extended information includes home directory, login shell and password aging data, each on its own line. Password information consists of pass- word status (PS for valid password, LK for locked and NP for no password) and, if a password is present, date of last change, required number of days between changes, and number of days allowed between changes. In the case of non-trusted systems, the date of last change will be the latest Thursday since the change. Display all users belonging to groups, sorted by login. A comma separated list specifies multiple groups. Display the requested logins. A comma separated list specifies multiple logins. Specify a switch used to classify NIS or local users.
