NAME

       finger@ - gets user information from a remote host.

SYNOPSIS

       finger@ [ host [ user ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       finger@  connects  to TCP port 79 (Finger) on host, sends user (with an
       extra CR) to host, and prints any data it receives. It removes  CR  and
       converts unprintable characters to a visible format.

       Some computers respond to port 79 with information about user.

       If  user  is  not  supplied,  finger@  sends a blank line to host. Some
       computers respond with information about all the users who  are  logged
       in.

       If host is not supplied, finger@ connects to the local host.
