The who utility displays a list of all users currently logged on, showing
for each user the login name, tty name, the date and time of login, and
hostname if not local.
Available options:
-a Same as -bdlprTtu.
-b Time of last system boot.
-d Print dead processes.

ignored.

terminal line: ‘+’ if the terminal is writable; ‘-’ if it is not;
and ‘?’ if a bad line is encountered.
-t Print last system clock change (unsupported).
-u Print the idle time for each user, and the associated process ID.
