Sh NAME
Nm pac
Nd printer/plotter accounting information
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl cmrs
Op Fl P Ar printer
Op Fl p Ar price
Op Ar name ...
Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number
of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices)
of paper consumed by each user, and printing out
how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
Pp
Options and operands available:
Bl -tag -width PPprinter
It Fl P Ns Ar printer
Accounting is done for the named printer.
Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or
the value of the environment variable
Ev PRINTER
is used.
It Fl c
flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the
output is sorted alphabetically by name.
It Fl m
flag causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This
allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing
charges grouped together.
It Fl p Ns Ar price
The value
Ar price
is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02
or the price specified in
Pa /etc/printcap .
It Fl r
Reverse the sorting order.
It Fl s
Accounting information is summarized on the
summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a
busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
It Ar names
Statistics are only printed for user(s)
Ar name ;
usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
El
Sh OUTPUT FORMAT
Nm
formats the output into simple table, using four columns - number of feets
or pages (column "pages/feet"), how many copies were made (column "runs"),
total price for this print (column "price") and user login with host name
(column "login" or "host name and login"). If argument
Ar name
was not used and hence
Nm
is printing information for all users,
a summary line with print totals (runs, pages, price) is appended.
Pp
Note that
Nm
on other system might print the price as price per copy.

Sh BUGS
The relationship between the computed price and reality is
as yet unknown.
