.Fl bdlprTtuv .
.It Fl b
Time of last system boot.
.It Fl d
Print dead processes.
.It Fl H
Write column headings above the regular output.
.It Fl l
Print system login processes.
.It Fl m
Only print information about the current terminal.
This is the POSIX way of saying
.Nm
.Ar am i .
.It Fl p
Print active processes spawned by
.Xr init 8 .
.It Fl q
.Dq Quick mode :
List only the names and the number of users currently logged on.
When this option is used, all other options are ignored.
.It Fl r

Supported runlevels are:
.Bl -tag -width "s (SINGLE_USER)"
.It Dv d Pq Dv DEATH
The system has halted.
.It Dv s Pq Dv SINGLE_USER
The system is running in single user mode.
.It Dv r Pq Dv RUNCOM

.It Dv m Pq Dv MULTI_USER

not create new processes.
.El
.It Fl s

and
.Sq \&?

.It Fl v
When printing of more information is requested with

and the type of the entry, see documentation of ut_type in
.Xr getutxent 3 .
.It Ar \&am I
Returns the invoker's real user name.
.It Ar file
By default,
.Nm
gathers information from the file
.Pa /var/run/utmpx .
An alternative
.Ar file
may be specified which is usually
.Pa /var/log/wtmpx
(or
.Pa /var/log/wtmp ,
or
.Pa /var/log/wtmpx.[0-6]
or
.Pa /var/log/wtmp.[0-6]
depending on site policy as
.Pa wtmpx
can grow quite large and daily versions may or may not
be kept around after compression by
.Xr ac 8 ) .
The
.Pa wtmpx
and
.Pa wtmp
file contains a record of every login, logout,
crash, shutdown and date change
since
.Pa wtmpx
and
.Pa wtmp
were last truncated or
created.
.El
.Pp
If
.Pa /var/log/wtmpx
or
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
are being used as the file, the user name may be empty
or one of the special characters '|', '}' and '~'.
Logouts produce an output line without any user name.
For more information on the
special characters, see
.Xr utmp 5 .
