LASTLOGIN(8) FreeBSD 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
information 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_parse_args(3) 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.
