NAME
       lchfn - Change finger information

SYNOPSIS
       lchfn [OPTION]... [user]

DESCRIPTION
       Displays	 and  allows changing information about user that is available
       using the finger(1) command (usually stored in  the  "gecos"  field  of
       /etc/passwd).

       If  the user argument is not provided, username of the invoking user is
       used; the user argument is ignored if lchfn is run set-uid to a differ‐
       ent user.

       Entering an empty string (by pressing Enter) at a prompt is interpreted
       as accepting a default value; to erase an attribute (or to use an empty
       string as the attribute value), enter a single dot character.

OPTIONS
       -i, --interactive
	      Ask  all questions when connecting to the user database, even if
	      default answers are set up in libuser configuration.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status is 0 on success, 1 on error.
