PAC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAC(8) NAME pac -- printer/plotter accounting information SYNOPSIS pac [-Pprinter] [-c] [-m] [-pprice] [-s] [-r] [name ...] DESCRIPTION The pac utility reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices) of pa- per consumed by each user, and printing out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars. Options and operands available: -Pprinter Accounting is done for the named printer. Normally, account- ing is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of the environment variable PRINTER is used. -c Cause the output to be sorted by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name. -m Cause the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing charges grouped together. -pprice The value price is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price specified in /etc/printcap. -r Reverse the sorting order. -s Accounting information is summarized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day. names Statistics are only printed for user(s) name; usually, statis- tics are printed for every user who has used any paper. FILES /var/account/?acct raw accounting files /var/account/?_sum summary accounting files /etc/printcap printer capability data base SEE ALSO printcap(5) HISTORY The pac utility appeared in 4.0BSD. BUGS The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet un- known. BSD June 6, 1993 BSD
