 .SH NAME
-last \- indicate last logins of users and teletypes
+last \- indicate last logins of users and ttys
 .SH SYNOPSIS
-.B last
-[
-\-N
-]
-[
-name ...
-] [
-tty ...
-]
+\fBlast\fP [-f file] [-#] [users ...] [ttys ...] [hosts ...]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Last
-will look back in the
-.I wtmp
-file which records all logins and logouts for information about
-a user, a teletype or any group of users and teletypes.
-Arguments specify names of users or teletypes of interest.
-Names of teletypes may be given fully or abbreviated.
-For example `last 0' is the same as `last tty0'.
-If multiple arguments are given, the information which applies
-to any of the arguments is printed.  For example `last root console'
-would list all of "root's" sessions as well as all sessions
-on the console terminal.
-.I Last
-will print the sessions of the specified users and teletypes,
-most recent first, indicating the times at which the session
-began, the duration of the session, and the teletype which the
-session took place on.
-If the session is still continuing or was cut short by a reboot,
-.I last
-so indicates.
+\fILast\fP will list the sessions of specified \fIusers,\fP \fIttys,\fP
+and \fIhosts,\fP in reverse time order.  Each line of output contains
+the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any
+hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration
+of the session.  If the session is still continuing or was cut short by
+a reboot, \fIlast\fP will so indicate.
 .PP
-The pseudo-user
-.B reboot
-logs in at reboots of the system, thus
+\fILast\fP reads the file \fIfile\fP, or by default, /usr/adm/wtmp.
+The \fI-#\fP option limits the report to \fI#\fP lines.
+.PP
+Other arguments specify \fIusers,\fP \fIttys\fP or \fIhosts\fP of interest.
+Tty names may be given fully or abbreviated, e.g., "last 03" is equivalent
+to "last tty03".  Host names should not include domain information, and
+may be internet numbers.  If multiple arguments are given, the information
+which applies to any of the arguments is printed, e.g., "last root console"
+would list all of "root's" sessions as well as all sessions on the console
+terminal. If no users or terminals are specified, \fIlast\fP prints a record
+of all logins and logouts.
+.PP
+The pseudo-user \fBreboot\fP logs in at reboots of the system, thus
 .DT
 .PP
 	last reboot
 .PP
 will give an indication of mean time between reboot.
 .PP
-.I Last
-with no arguments prints a record of all logins and logouts, in
-reverse order.
-The
-.B \-N
-option limits the report to N lines.
-.PP
-If
-.I last
-is interrupted, it indicates how far the search has progressed
-in
-.I wtmp.
-If interrupted with a quit signal
-(generated by a control-\e)
-.I last
-indicates how far the search has progressed so far, and the
-search continues.
+If \fIlast\fP is interrupted, it indicates to what date the search has
+progressed.  If interrupted with a quit signal \fIlast\fP indicates how
+far the search has progressed and then continues.

+as all logins from the host "ucbvax.berkeley.edu".
