.Nd indicate last login time of users
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl nrt
.Op Fl f Ar filename
.Op Fl H Ar hostsize
.Op Fl L Ar linesize

.Op user ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
will list the last login session of specified
.Ar users ,
or for all users by default.  Each line of output contains
the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any
hostname, and the start time for the session.
.Pp
If multiple
.Ar users
are given, the session information for each user is printed in
the order given on the command line.  Otherwise, information
for all users is printed, sorted by uid.
.Pp
.Nm
differs from
.Xr last 1
in that it only prints information regarding the very last login session.
The last login database is never turned over or deleted in standard usage.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl f Ar filename
Process input from
.Ar filename .
If the file ends with an
.Dq x ,
then it is assumed that it is a
.Xr lastlogx 5
file, else it is assumed to be a
.Xr lastlog 5
file.
.It Fl H Ar hostlen
Set the field width for host output to
.Ar hostlen
characters.
.It Fl L Ar linelen
Set the field width for line output to
.Ar linelen
characters.
.It Fl N Ar namelen
Set the field width for name output to
.Ar namelen
characters.
.It Fl n

.Nm
looks by default to the
.Pa /var/log/lastlogx
database, where some old programs that are not

To look at the old database one can use:
.Pp
.Dl lastlogin -f /var/log/lastlog
