        !            10: last \- indicate last logins of users and ttys
        !            11: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !            12: \fBlast\fP [-#] [-f file] [-h host] [-t tty] [user ...]
        !            13: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            14: \fILast\fP will list the sessions of specified \fIusers,\fP \fIttys,\fP
        !            15: and \fIhosts,\fP in reverse time order.  Each line of output contains
        !            16: the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any
        !            17: hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration
        !            18: of the session.  If the session is still continuing or was cut short by
        !            19: a crash or shutdown, \fIlast\fP will so indicate.
        !            20: .PP
        !            21: \fILast\fP reads the file \fIfile\fP, or by default, \fI/usr/adm/wtmp\fP.
        !            22: The \fB-#\fP option limits the report to \fB#\fP lines.
        !            23: .PP
        !            24: Other arguments specify \fIusers,\fP \fIttys\fP or \fIhosts\fP of interest.
        !            25: Tty names may be given fully or abbreviated, e.g., ``last -t 03'' is
        !            26: equivalent to ``last -t tty03''.  Host names may be internet numbers.  If
        !            27: multiple arguments are given, the information which applies to any of the
        !            28: arguments is printed, e.g., ``last root -t console'' would list all of
        !            29: ``root's'' sessions as well as all sessions on the console terminal. If no
        !            30: users, hostnames or terminals are specified, \fIlast\fP prints a record of
        !            31: all logins and logouts.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: The pseudo-user \fBreboot\fP logs in at reboots of the system, thus
        !            34: ``last reboot'' will give an indication of mean time between reboot.
        !            35: .PP
        !            36: If \fIlast\fP is interrupted, it indicates to what date the search has
        !            37: progressed.  If interrupted with a quit signal \fIlast\fP indicates how
        !            38: far the search has progressed and then continues.
        !            39: .SH FILES
