- 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 the known users at host "g1yyh")
- f g1yyh@g1yyh (display info about "g1yyh" at host "g1yyh")
