Use specified format string instead of the default string.

-f DIR | --file=DIR

Use database directory DIR. Default location is /var/lib/rush.

--forward

Display entries in chronological instead of reverse time order. The latter is the default mode of operation.

-n NUM | --count=NUM | -NUM

Show at most NUM records. The numerical form, such as '-3', is provided for compatibility with the standard utility last(1).

-H | --no-header

Suppress the header line in printout.

-v | --version

Display program version.

-h | --help

Display a short help message.

--usage

Display a concise usage summary.

FILES

Location of configuration file.

/var/lib/rush

Default database directory, where the session history files utmp and wtmp are maintained.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

RUSHLAST_FORMAT

Formatting string to be used instead of the hard coded value, whenever the switch -F is not in use. An unset value makes rushlast apply the default string.

AUTHOR

This text was written by Mats Erik Andersson for the Debian project, because the original source supplies documentation only in the form of a GNU Texinfo manual. The upstream author licenses the manual under GFDL-1.3, so it had to be removed from the Debian packaging.
