Section (1) lslogins
Name
lslogins — display information about known users in the system
Synopsis
lslogins
[options] [
−s
| −u
[=UID] ] [ −g
groups ] [ −l
logins ] [username]
DESCRIPTION
Examine the wtmp and btmp logs, /etc/shadow (if necessary) and /etc/passwd and output the desired data.
The optional argument username
forces lslogins to print all
available details about the specified user only. In this case
the output format is different than in case of −l
or −g
and unknown is username
reported as an
error.
The default action is to list info about all the users in the system.
