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)) or an ASCII
     version thereof.  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.  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.

EXAMPLES
     The following sequence is useful for making "repairs" to any
     file kept in this format:

          acctmerg -v <file1 > file2

     Edit file2 as desired ...

          acctmerg -i <file2 > file1
