WCAT(1)
NAME
wcat - printout wtmp entries
SYNOPSIS
wcat [-w wtmp|-] [-adX[3|4]] [-s start] [-e end] [-b H[:M[:S]]] [--help] [--version]
SYNOPSIS
Wcat provides an easy way to recover trimmed information from wtmp binary files. This tool can be useful for scripts that need only par- tial information from them. Notice that wcat output is binary wtmp entries so if this information is printed out to a terminal or screen it might mess it up. A better use of wcat would be: wcat | rawtmp -w -
