1. To display brief information about all users on a host, use
the FINGER command with the host name only, in the format
@hostname. If you use the FINGER command alone (without
specifying a host name), you receive brief information about
all users on your local system. The following example shows
how to display brief information about all users on remote
host SCIENCE:
$ FINGER @SCIENCE
[science.ucd.edu]

2. To display details about one or more users on a remote host,
specify the user name or a list of user names, including the
host name with each user name, as shown in the examples that
follow.
