+.TH LASTCOMM 1 "1995 October 31"
+.SH NAME
+lastcomm \- print out information about previously executed commands.
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B lastcomm
+prints out information about previously executed
+commands. If no arguments are specified,
+.B lastcomm
+will print info
+about all of the commands in
+.I acct
+(the record file). If called with one or more of
+.I command-name,
+.I user-name,
+or
+.I terminal-name,
+only records containing those items will be displayed. For
+example, to find out which users used command `a.out'
+and which users were logged into `tty0', type:
+.ce
+lastcomm a.out tty0
+.ce 0
+.LP
+This will print any entry for which `a.out' or `tty0'
+matches in any of the record's fields (command, name, or terminal). If
+you want to find only items that match *all* of the arguments on the command
+line, you must use the '\-strict-match' option. For example, to list
+all of the executions of command
+.IR a.out " by user " root " on terminal " tty0,
+type:
+.ce
+lastcomm \-\-strict-match \-\-command a.out \-\-user root \-\-tty tty0
+.ce 0
+.LP
+The order of the arguments is not important.
+.LP
+For each entry the following information is printed:
+ + command name of the process
+ + flags, as recorded by the system accounting routines:
+ S -- command executed by super-user
+ F -- command executed after a fork but without a following exec
+ C -- command run in PDP-11 compatibility mode (VAX only)
+ D -- command terminated with the generation of a core file
+ X -- command was terminated with the signal SIGTERM
+ + the name of the user who ran the process
+ + time the process started
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PD 0
+.TP
+.B \-\-strict\-match
+Print only entries that match *all* of the arguments on the command
+line.
+.TP
+.B \-\-print\-controls
+Print control characters.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-user " name"
+List records for user with
+.I name.
+This is useful if you're trying
+to match a username that happens to be the same as a command (e.g.,
+.I ed
+).
+.TP
+.BI \-\-command " name"
+List records for command
+.I name.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-tty " name"
+List records for tty
+.I name.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-forwards
+Read file forwards instead of backwards. This avoids trying to seek on the file
+and can be used to read from a pipe. This must be specified prior to any
+.BI \-f
+arguments.
+.TP
+.BI \-f " filename, " \-\-file " filename"
+Read from the file
+.I filename
+instead of
+.I acct.
+A filename of "-" will result in reading from stdin. This must either be the
+first
+.BI \-f
+option, or
+.BI \-\-forwards
+must precede all
+.BI \-f
+options.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-ahz " hz"
+Use this flag to tell the program what
+.B AHZ
+should be (in hertz). This option is useful if you are trying to view
+an
+.I acct
+file created on another machine which has the same byte order and file
+format as your current machine, but has a different value for
+.B AHZ.
+.TP
+.B \-p, \-\-show\-paging
+Print paging statistics.
+.TP
+.B \-\-pid
+Show PID and PPID of the process if acct version 3 format is supported by kernel.
+.TP
+.B \-\-pid
+Add pid of the process and pid of the process parent to the output
+(pid is the last but one and parent pid the last column).
+These values are shown only when they are generated by acct function
+(depends on the version of kernel)
+.TP
+.B \-\-debug
+Print verbose internal information.
+.TP
+.B \-V, \-\-version
+Print the version number of
+.B lastcomm.
+.TP
+.B \-h, \-\-help
+Prints the usage string and default locations of system files to
+standard output and exits.
+
