finger
     
         A {Unix} program that displays information about a
        particular user or all users logged on the system, or a remote
        system.  Finger typically shows full name, last login time,

        applicable).  It may also display a {plan file} left by the
        user (see also {Hacking X for Y}).  Some versions take a "-l"
        (long) argument which yields more information.
