52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53.Nm
54reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number
55of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices)
56of paper consumed by each user, and printing out
57how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
58.Pp
59Options and operands available:
60.Bl -tag -width PPprinter
61.It Fl P Ns Ar printer
62Accounting is done for the named printer.
63Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or
64the value of the environment variable
65.Ev PRINTER
66is used.
67.It Fl c
68flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the
69output is sorted alphabetically by name.
70.It Fl m
71flag causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file.  This
72allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing
73charges grouped together.
74.It Fl p Ns Ar price
75The value
76.Ar price
77is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02
78or the price specified in
79.Pa /etc/printcap .
80.It Fl r
81Reverse the sorting order.
82.It Fl s
83Accounting information is summarized on the
84summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a
85busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
86.It Ar names
87Statistics are only printed for user(s)
88.Ar name ;
89usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
90.El
91.Sh OUTPUT FORMAT
92.Nm
93formats the output into simple table, using four columns - number of feets
94or pages (column "pages/feet"), how many copies were made (column "runs"),
95total price for this print (column "price") and user login with host name
96(column "login" or "host name and login"). If argument
97.Ar name
98was not used and hence
99.Nm
100is printing information for all users,
101a summary line with print totals (runs, pages, price) is appended.
102.Pp
103Note that
104.Nm
105on other system might print the price as price per copy.
