Arguments specify names of users or teletypes of +interest. If multiple arguments are given, the information which +applies to any of the arguments is printed. For example ``\fBlast root +console\fP'' would list all of root's sessions as well as all sessions +on the console terminal. \fBLast\fP displays the sessions of the +specified users and teletypes, most recent first, indicating the times +at which the session began, the duration of the session, and the +teletype which the session took place on. If the session is still +continuing or was cut short by a reboot, \fBlast\fP so indicates. +.LP +The pseudo-user \fBreboot\fP logs in at reboots of the system. +.LP +\fBLast\fP with no arguments displays a record of all logins and +logouts, in reverse order. +.LP +If \fBlast\fP is interrupted, it indicates how far the search has +progressed in \fBwtmp\fP.
