LASTLOGIN(8)		     System Manager's Manual		    LASTLOGIN(8)

NAME
     lastlogin -- indicate last login time of users

SYNOPSIS
     lastlogin [--libxo] [-f file] [-rt] [user ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  lastlogin  utility  will list the last login session of each specified
     user, 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.

     If more than one user is given, the session information for  each	user  is
     printed in the order given on the command line.  Otherwise, information for
     all users is printed.  By default, the entries are sorted by user name.

     The  lastlogin utility differs from last(1) in that it only prints informa-
     tion regarding the very last login session.  The  last  login  database  is
     never turned over or deleted in standard usage.

     The following options are available:

     --libxo
	     Generate  output via libxo(3) in a selection of different human and
	     machine readable formats.	See xo_options(7) for details on command
	     line arguments.

     -f file
	     Open last login database file instead of the system-wide database.

     -r      Print the entries in reverse sorted order.

     -t      Sort the elements by last login time, instead of user name.

FILES
     /var/log/utx.lastlogin  last login database
