NAME


ui — show information about local users

SYNOPSIS


ui [-hvVL] [-F separator] [-m separator] [-t format] [-d]
[[-xXO] module1.so [options] [-- [-xXO] module2.so [options] [...]]] [-c filename] [user]
| [-f filename] [...]

DESCRIPTION


ui uses loadable modules to display various information about a local user. Multiple
usernames or filenames (see -f) may be specified. If no arguments are given or a username or
filename is ‘-’, then arguments are read via standard input.

-d Load the default modules (passwd.so, mail.so and login.so). This can be used anywhere in
the module list.

-t format
Specify an alternate time format for modules which have time values. See the strftime(3)
manual page for format syntax.

-c filename
Load a configuration file. May be used more than once. See below for details.

-O filename
Load a module. The remaining switches are to be options for this module. End options for
this module by specifying --. This option may by used more than once. Due to the way
module chaining is implemented, the same module may be loaded more than once.

-x filename
Like -O but chain module1.so output to module2.so input. This will only work if the
module is chainable. You can specify this option more than once for unlimited chaining.

-X filename
The same as -x but don't output module1.so info, only pass the strings to module2.so for
processing.

-F separator
Alternate character used to separate fields. Standard escape sequences are supported.

-m separator
Alternate character used to separate multi string values. Standard escape sequences are
supported.

-f Get information for the owners of the specified files.

-L If the -f option is specified and the file is a symbolic link, get owner information for
the file the link points to and not the link itself.

-v Be verbose when possible. Some modules may limit their display. This should show
everything available. This is reset for each loaded module unless specified twice.

-h Display help text. A module must be specified either with the -O command line option or
loaded via configuration file -c for a modules help text to be displayed.

-V Version information.

RETURN VALUES


Returns 1 on failure and 0 on success. Note that a modules return value affects this exit
status.
