By default,
1997-08-26 11:14:57 +00:00
.Nm
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
gathers information from the file
.Pa /var/run/utmp .
An alternate
.Ar file
may be specified which is usually
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
(or
.Pa /var/log/wtmp.[0-6]
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
depending on site policy as
.Pa wtmp
can grow quite large and daily versions may or may not
be kept around after compression by
.Xr ac 8 ) .
The
.Pa wtmp
file contains a record of every login, logout,
crash, shutdown and date change
since
.Pa wtmp
was last truncated or
created.
.Pp
If
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
is being used as the file, the user name may be empty
or one of the special characters '|', '}' and '~'. Logouts produce
an output line without any user name. For more information on the
special characters, see
.Xr utmp 5 .
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The
.Ev COLUMNS ,
.Ev LANG ,
.Ev LC_ALL
and
.Ev LC_TIME
