The domain of accessibility is +implementation-defined. +.LP +Based on the options given, \fIwho\fP can also list the user's name, +terminal line, login time, elapsed time since activity +occurred on the line, and the process ID of the command interpreter +for each current system user. +.SH OPTIONS +.LP +The \fIwho\fP utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume +of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines. +.LP +The following options shall be supported. The metavariables, such +as <\fIline\fP>, refer to fields described in the +STDOUT section. +.TP 7 +\fB-a\fP +Process the implementation-defined database or named file with the +\fB-b\fP, \fB-d\fP, \fB-l\fP, \fB-p\fP, \fB-r\fP, +\fB-t\fP, \fB-T\fP and \fB-u\fP options turned on. +.TP 7 +\fB-b\fP +Write the time and date of the last reboot. +.TP 7 +\fB-d\fP +Write a list of all processes that have expired and not been respawned +by the \fIinit\fP system process. The <\fIexit\fP> +field shall appear for dead processes and contain the termination +and exit values of the dead process. This can be useful in +determining why a process terminated. +.TP 7 +\fB-H\fP +Write column headings above the regular output. +.TP 7 +\fB-l\fP +(The letter ell.) List only those lines on which the system is waiting +for someone to login. The <\fIname\fP> field shall be +\fBLOGIN\fP in such cases. Other fields shall be the same as for user +entries except that the <\fIstate\fP> field does not +exist. +.TP 7 +\fB-m\fP +Output only information about the current terminal. +.TP 7 +\fB-p\fP +List any other process that is currently active and has been previously +spawned by \fIinit\fP. +.TP 7 +\fB-q\fP +(Quick.) List only the names and the number of users currently logged +on. When this option is used, all other options shall be +ignored. +.TP 7 +\fB-r\fP +Write the current \fIrun-level\fP of the \fIinit\fP process. +.TP 7 +\fB-s\fP +List only the <\fIname\fP>, <\fIline\fP>, and <\fItime\fP> fields. +This is the default case. +.TP 7 +\fB-t\fP +Indicate the last change to the system clock. +.TP 7 +\fB-T\fP +Show the state of each terminal, as described in the STDOUT section. +.TP 7 +\fB-u\fP +Write "idle time" for each displayed user in addition to any other +information. The idle time is the time since any activity +occurred on the user's terminal. The method of determining this is +unspecified. This option +shall list only those users who are currently logged in. The <\fIname\fP> +is the user's login name. The <\fIline\fP> +is the name of the line as found in the directory \fB/dev\fP. The +<\fItime\fP> is the time that the user logged in. The +<\fIactivity\fP> is the number of hours and minutes since activity +last occurred on that particular line. A dot indicates +that the terminal has seen activity in the last minute and is therefore +"current". If more than twenty-four hours have elapsed or +the line has not been used since boot time, the entry shall be marked +<\fIold\fP>. This field is useful when trying to +determine whether a person is working at the terminal or not. The +<\fIpid\fP> is the process ID of the user's login process. +.sp +.SH OPERANDS +.LP +The following operands shall be supported: +.TP 7 +\fBam\ i\fP,\ \fBam\ I\fP +In the POSIX locale, limit the output to describing the invoking user, +equivalent to the \fB-m\fP option.

The standard developers also considered removing +all the options, but felt that these options offered users +valuable functionality. Additional options to match historical systems +are available on XSI-conformant systems. +.LP +It is recognized that the \fIwho\fP command may be of limited usefulness, +especially in a multi-level secure environment. The +standard developers considered, however, that having some standard +method of determining the "accessibility" of other users would +aid user portability. +.LP +No format was specified for the default \fIwho\fP output for systems +not supporting the XSI Extension. In such a user-oriented +command, designed only for human use, this was not considered to be +a deficiency. +.LP +The format of the terminal name is unspecified, but the descriptions +of \fIps\fP, \fItalk\fP, and \fIwrite\fP require that they use the +same +format. +.LP +It is acceptable for an implementation to produce no output for an +invocation of \fIwho\fP \fBmil\fP. +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +.LP +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.LP +\fImesg\fP +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
