.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Ar am I
.Nm
.Op Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility displays
a list of all users currently logged on, showing for each user
the login name,
tty name, the date and time of login, and hostname if not local.
.Pp
Available options:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width file
.It Ar \&am I
Returns the invoker's real user name.
.It Ar file
By default,
.Nm
gathers information from the file
.Pa /var/run/utmp .
An alternate
.Ar file
may be specified which is usually
.Pa /var/run/wtmp
(or
.Pa /var/run/wtmp.[0-6]
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.
.El
.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 FILES
.Bl -tag -width /var/log/wtmp.[0-6] -compact
.It Pa /var/run/utmp
.It Pa /var/log/wtmp
.It Pa /var/log/wtmp.[0-6]
