NAME         top

       lastlog2 - display date of last login for all users or a specific
       one

SYNOPSIS         top

       lastlog2 [options]

DESCRIPTION         top

       lastlog2 displays the content of the last login database. The
       login-name, last-login-time, tty and remote-host will be printed.
       The default (no flags) causes all last login entries to be
       printed, sorted by the order as written the first time into the
       database.

       Compared to lastlog this command is Y2038 safe and uses sqlite3
       to store the information and not a sparse file.
