SYNTAX
      users [FILE]

With no FILE argument, `users' extracts its information from the
file `/var/run/utmp'.  If a file argument is given, `users' uses that
file instead.  A common choice is `/var/run/wtmp'.

The only options are `--help' and `--version'. 

Each user name corresponds to a login session, so if a user has more than one login session, that user's name will appear the same number of times in the output.
