acctmerg(1M)                                         acctmerg(1M)



     NAME
          acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [-a] [-i] [-p] [-t] [-u] [-v]
          [file...]

     DESCRIPTION
          acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional
          files, all in the tacct format (see acct(4)).  It merges
          these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user ID
          and name) are identical, and expects the inputs to be sorted
          on those keys.  Flag options are:

          -a   produce output in ASCII version of tacct

          -i   input files are in ASCII version of tacct

          -p   print input with no processing

          -t   produce a single record that totals all input

          -u   summarize by user ID, rather than user ID and name

          -v   produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more pre-
               cise notation for floating point numbers

     EXAMPLE
          The following sequence is useful for repairing any file kept
          in this format:

               acctmerg -v < file1 > file2

          edit file2 as desired

               acctmerg -i < file2 > file1

     FILES
          /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg
