15 _\bW_\bh_\bo, without any argument, reads the /etc/utmp file, and
16 lists the login name, terminal name, and login time for each
17 user currently logged into the system. If a single argument
18 is given, _\bw_\bh_\bo uses that file instead of /etc/utmp. Typi-
19 cally, that file will be /usr/adm/wtmp, which contains a
20 record of all the logins, logouts, crashes, shutdowns and
21 time changes since it was created. In either case, each
22 login will be listed with the user name, the terminal name
23 (with "/dev/" suppressed), login date and time, and, if
24 applicable, the host logged in from.
25
26 If /usr/adm/wtmp is being used as the file, the user name
27 may be empty or one of the special characters '|', '}' and
28 '~'. Logouts produce an output line without any user name.
29 For more information on the special characters, see utmp(5).

31 With two arguments, as in `who am I' (and also `who are
32 you'), _\bw_\bh_\bo tells you who you are logged in as.
