USAGE
F[inger] [<user_name>][@<host>]
DESCRIPTION
The finger command retrieves personal information about users of a
system. When used by itself, a list of known users on the current
system will be displayed. When a user_name is added to the command,
finger will display information about that particular user.
The same functions detailed above may be performed on some other
TCP/IP host connected to the network. Just add the "@<host>" to the
finger command as specified in the usage line above. To get a list
of the users on a remote system, enter "finger" followed by a
<SPACE> and an "@", then the host name. To get information about a
remote user, simply insert the user name before the "@".
EXAMPLES
finger (list the known users on this system)
f g1yyh (list info about the local user "g1yyh")
f @g1yyh (list the known users at host "g1yyh")
f g1yyh@g1yyh (display info about "g1yyh" at host "g1yyh")
