.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBacctcom\fR utility reads \fIfilename\fRs, the standard input, or
\fB/var/adm/pacct\fR, in the form described by \fBacct.h\fR(3HEAD) and writes
selected records to standard output. Each record represents the execution of
one process. The output shows the \fBCOMMAND NAME\fR, \fBUSER\fR,
\fBTTYNAME\fR, \fBSTART TIME\fR, \fBEND TIME\fR, \fBREAL (SEC)\fR, \fBCPU
(SEC)\fR, \fBMEAN SIZE (K)\fR, and optionally, \fBF\fR (the
\fBfork()\fR/\fBexec()\fR flag: \fB1\fR for \fBfork()\fR without \fBexec()\fR),
\fBSTAT\fR (the system exit status), \fBHOG FACTOR\fR, \fBKCORE MIN\fR, \fBCPU
FACTOR\fR, \fBCHARS TRNSFD\fR, and  \fBBLOCKS\fR \fBREAD\fR (total blocks read
and written).
.sp
.LP
A  `\fB#\fR' is prepended to the command name if the command was executed with
super-user privileges. If a process is not associated with a known terminal, a
`\fB?\fR' is printed in the \fBTTYNAME\fR field.
.sp
.LP
If no  \fIfilename\fR is specified, and if the standard input is associated
with a terminal or \fB/dev/null\fR (as is the case when using `\fB&\fR\&' in
the shell), \fB/var/adm/pacct\fR is read; otherwise, the standard input is
read.
.sp
.LP
If any \fIfilename\fR arguments are given, they are read in their respective
order. Each file is normally read forward, that is, in chronological order by
process completion time. The file \fB/var/adm/pacct\fR is usually the current
file to be examined; a busy system may need several such files of which all but
the current file are found in \fB/var/adm/pacct\fIincr\fR\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-a\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show some average statistics about the processes selected. The statistics will
be printed after the output records.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-b\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Read backwards, showing latest commands first. This option has no effect when
standard input is read.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-f\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Print the \fBfork()\fR/\fBexec()\fR flag and system exit status columns in the
output. The numeric output for this option will be in octal.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-h\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Instead of mean memory size, show the fraction of total available \fBCPU\fR
time consumed by the process during its execution. This "hog factor" is
computed as (total \fBCPU\fR time)/(elapsed time).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-i\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Print columns containing the \fBI/O\fR counts in the output.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-k\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Instead of memory size, show total kcore-minutes.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-m\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show mean core size (the default).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-q\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Do not print any output records, just print the average statistics as with the
\fB-a\fR option.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-r\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show \fBCPU\fR factor (user-time/(system-time + user-time)).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-t\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show separate system and user \fBCPU\fR times.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-v\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Exclude column headings from the output.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-C\fR \fIsec\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show only processes with total \fBCPU\fR time (system-time + user-time)
exceeding \fIsec\fR seconds.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-e\fR \fItime\fR\fR
.ad

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-E\fR \fItime\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Select processes ending at or before \fItime\fR. Using the same \fItime\fR for
both \fB-S\fR and \fB-E\fR shows the processes that existed at \fItime\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-g\fR \fIgroup\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
Show only processes belonging to \fIgroup\fR. The \fIgroup\fR may be designated
by either the group \fBID\fR or group name.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-H\fR \fIfactor\fR\fR

as explained in option \fB-h\fR above.
.RE

.na
\fB\fB-I\fR \fIchars\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 18n
