finger(1) User Commands finger(1)NAME
finger - display information about local and remote users
SYNOPSIS
finger [-bfhilmpqsw] [username...]
finger [-l] [ username@hostname 1 [ @hostname 2 .. .@hostname n...]]
finger [-l] [ @hostname 1 [ @hostname 2 .. .@hostname n...]]
DESCRIPTION
By default, the finger command displays in multi-column format the following information about each logged-in user:
o user name
o user's full name
o terminal name (prepended with a `*' (asterisk) if write-permission is denied)
o idle time
o login time
o host name, if logged in remotely
Idle time is in minutes if it is a single integer, in hours and minutes if a `:' (colon) is present, or in days and hours if a `d' is
present.
When one or more username arguments are given, more detailed information is given for each username specified, whether they are logged in
or not. username must be that of a local user, and may be a first or last name, or an account name. Information is presented in multi-line
format as follows:
o the user name and the user's full name
o the user's home directory and login shell
o time the user logged in if currently logged in, or the time the user last logged in; and the terminal or host from which the user
logged in
o last time the user received mail, and the last time the user read mail
o the first line of the $HOME/.project file, if it exists
o the contents of the $HOME/.plan file, if it exists
Note: when the comment (GECOS) field in /etc/passwd includes a comma, finger does not display the information following the comma.
If the arguments username@hostname1[@hostname2...@hostnamen] or @hostname1[@hostname2...@hostnamen] are used, the request is sent first to
hostnamen and forwarded through each hostnamen-1 to hostname1. The program uses the finger user information protocol (see RFC 1288) to
query that remote host for information about the named user (if username is specified), or about each logged-in user. The information dis-
played is server dependent.
As required by RFC 1288, finger passes only printable, 7-bit ASCII data. This behavior may be modified by a system administrator by using
the PASS option in /etc/default/finger. Specifying PASS=low allows all characters less than decimal 32 ASCII. Specifying PASS=high allows
all characters greater than decimal 126 ASCII. PASS=low,high or PASS=high,low allows both characters less than 32 and greater than 126 to
pass through.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported, except that the username@hostname form supports only the -l option:
-b Suppresses printing the user's home directory and shell in a long format printout.
-f Suppresses printing the header that is normally printed in a non-long format printout.
-h Suppresses printing of the .project file in a long format printout.
-i Forces "idle" output format, which is similar to short format except that only the login name, terminal, login time, and idle time
are printed.
-l Forces long output format.
-m Matches arguments only on user name (not first or last name).
-p Suppresses printing of the .plan file in a long format printout.
-q Forces quick output format, which is similar to short format except that only the login name, terminal, and login time are
printed.
-s Forces short output format.
-w Suppresses printing the full name in a short format printout.
FILES
$HOME/.plan user's plan
$HOME/.project user's projects
/etc/default/finger finger options file
/etc/passwd password file
/var/adm/lastlog time of last login
/var/adm/utmpx accounting
