SYNOPSIS

       lchfn [OPTION]... [user]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  and  allows changing information about user that is available
       using the finger(1) command (usually stored in  the  "gecos"  field  of
       /etc/passwd).

       If  the user argument is not provided, username of the invoking user is
       used; the user argument is  ignored  if  lchfn  is  run  set-uid  to  a
       different user.

       Entering an empty string (by pressing Enter) at a prompt is interpreted
       as accepting a default value; to erase an attribute (or to use an empty
       string as the attribute value), enter a single dot character.
