    1. To display brief information about all users on a host, use
       the FINGER command with the host name only, in the format
       @hostname. If you use the FINGER command alone (without
       specifying a host name), you receive brief information about
       all users on your local system. The following example shows
       how to display brief information about all users on remote
       host SCIENCE:

       $ FINGER @SCIENCE

       [science.ucd.edu]
       Username     Program      Login     Term/Location
       BRADY        $            Thu 07:50 dialin_706_101.ucd.lab.edu

       RAPSONG      $            Mon 18:50 64442::RAPSONG

    2. To display details about one or more users on a remote host,
       specify the user name or a list of user names, including the
       host name with each user name, as shown in the examples that
       follow.

       $ FINGER HOWE@BEARINGS

       [bearings.us.beacorp.com]
       Username     Program      Login     Term/Location
       HOWE         MAIL         Mon 15:02 84640::HOWE

       Login name: HOWE           In real life: Abe Howe
       Account: INVENT            Directory: DISK$1:[HOWE]
       Last login: Tue   3-MAR-1998 10:15:39

    3. This example shows the default display for the FINGER/CLUSTER
       command.

    4. You can display each user's real name and every login to
       cluster members by including the /FULL qualifier, as in this
       example.
