+.Op Fl t Ar tty
+.Op user ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Last
+will list the sessions of specified
+.Ar users ,
+.Ar ttys ,
+and
+.Ar hosts ,
+in reverse time order. Each line of output contains
+the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any
+hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration
+of the session. If the session is still continuing or was cut short by
+a crash or shutdown,
+.Nm
+will so indicate.

+.Ar Host
+names may be names or internet numbers.
+.It Fl t Ar tty
+Specify the
+.Ar tty .

+.Dq Li "last -t 03"
+is
+equivalent to
+.Dq Li "last -t tty03" .
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+multiple arguments are given, the information which applies to any of the
+arguments is printed, e.g.,
+.Dq Li "last root -t console"
+would list all of
+.Dq Li root Ns 's
+sessions as well as all sessions on the console terminal. If no
+users, hostnames or terminals are specified,
+.Nm
+prints a record of
+all logins and logouts.
+.Pp
+The pseudo-user
+.Ar reboot
+logs in at reboots of the system, thus
+.Dq Li last reboot
+will give an indication of mean time between reboot.
+.Pp
+If
+.Nm
+is interrupted, it indicates to what date the search has
+progressed. If interrupted with a quit signal
+.Nm
+indicates how
+far the search has progressed and then continues.
