NAME

       dump-acct - print an acct file in human-readable format.

SYNOPSIS

       dump-acct [-r|--reverse] [-R|--raw] [--format] version] [--byteswap] [--ahz] hertz] [-n|--num recs] [-h|--help] [ files]

DESCRIPTION

       dump-acct  filename  prints  a  list  of all executed processes. This list is written by the kernel which must be compiled with BSD process
       accounting enabled (Debian kernel image have it already enabled). It must be started with accton(5).  Note that on Debian systems, this	is
       ensured via the init script /etc/init.d/acct.

       All fields are separated by vertical line. Fields are: command, version, user time, system time, effective time, uid, gid, memory, io, pid,
       ppid, time.  User, system and effective times are ticks per second. One tick is usually 1/50 of a second. The time field  shows	the  start
       time of the process.

       The --raw switch, as well as the --format, --byteswap, and --ahz can be used as a handy format converter.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Prints the usage string and default locations of system files to standard output and exits.

       -n, --num recs
	      Number of lines to print.

       -r, --reverse

       -R, --raw

       --format version
	      Use specified format version to display records.

       --byteswap
	      Swap bytes endianness when reading records.

       --ahz  Use specified units of time to display data from other kernel versions and architectures.
