Bug#1164: who --help uses /etc/{w,u}tmp
Package: shellutils
Version: 1.12-3
The output of `who --help` references /etc/utmp and /etc/wtmp.
This should be changed to reflect the actual locations:
/var/log/wtmp and /var/log/utmp
bash$ who --version
who - GNU sh-utils 1.12
bash$ who --help
Usage: who [OPTION]... [ FILE | ARG1 ARG2 ]
-H, --heading print line of column headings
-T, -w, --mesg add user's message status as +, - or ?
-i, -u, --idle add user idle time as HOURS:MINUTES, . or old
-m only hostname and user associated with stdin
-q, --count all login names and number of users logged on
-s (ignored)
--help display this help and exit
--message same as -T
--version output version information and exit
--writeable same as -T
^^^^^^^^^
[Also, ispell says this should be "writable".]
If FILE not given, uses /etc/utmp. /etc/wtmp as FILE is common.
If ARG1 ARG2 given, -m presumed: `am i' or `mom likes' are usual.
