accounting: dump-acct

 
 5 'dump-acct'
 *************
 
 'dump-acct' dumps some of the contents of one or more 'acct' files in
 human readable form.  Usage:
 
    'dump-acct [OPTS] FILES'
 
    Unless called with the '--raw' option, it prints a table with the
 following fields, separated by vertical bars('|'):
 
 'ac_comm'
      name of the executed program
 
 'ac_version'
      version of the 'acct' file format
 
 'ac_utime'
      user time
 
 'ac_stime'
      system time
 
 'ac_etime'
      elapsed time
 
 'ac_uid'
      user id
 
 'ac_gid'
      group id
 
 'ac_mem'
      (average) memory usage
 
 'ac_io'
      number of characters transferred on input/output
 
 'ac_pid'
      process id
 
 'ac_ppid'
      parent's process id
 
    All times will be given in platform dependent units ("'AHZ'").  Not
 all of the above columns will actually appear, depending on what
 information your operating system provides in it's 'struct acct'.
 
 5.1 Flags
 =========
 
 '--ahz HZ'
      Use this flag to tell the program what 'AHZ' should be (in Hertz).
      This option is useful if you are trying to view an 'acct' file
      created on another machine which has a different value for 'AHZ'.
 
 '--byteswap'
      Swap the bytes (relative to your system's native byte order) in
      '--raw' output.
 
 '--format'
      Set output format with '--raw' option.
 
 '-n NUM'
 '--num NUM'
      Limit the number of lines (or records with '--raw') to print.
 
 '-r'
 '--reverse'
      Read the accounting file backwards (print latest record first).
 
 '-R'
 '--raw'
      Don't print human readable output, dump the raw record instead.
      Useful to convert between different Linux file formats (see below).
 
 '-h'
 '--help'
      Print 'dump-acct''s usage string and default location of the
      accouning file to standard output.
 
    '--byteswap' and '--format' options are only available with Linux
 multiformat support.  They only affect _output_ with the '--raw' option,
 format and byte order of the input are automatically detected.  Thus
 they are useful to convert between different file formats.
 
    The '--ahz' option affects input and output (except for v3 file
 format, which by definition is fixed to 'AHZ=100').  If you ever need to
 convert between different 'AHZ' values, use a two-step process: First
 convert to v3 format with the _old_ 'AHZ' value, then convert to the
 desired output format with the _new_ 'AHZ' setting.
