 1.23  18-Jan-2013  christos - Don't dump core or print random junk on corrupt utmp entries.
- Factor out duplicated code in the process.
- The actual code is now smaller and does error checking, and encoding.
 1.22  12-Apr-2009  lukem branches: 1.22.6; 1.22.8; 1.22.12;
Fix WARNS=4 issues (-Wshadow, -Wcast-qual, -Wsign-compare)
 1.21  04-Jan-2006  perry branches: 1.21.30;
de-__P, ANSIfy prototypes, and kill register
 1.20  03-Jun-2004  kleink Remove duplicate header inclusions; from Jeff Ito in PR bin/25797.
 1.19  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22365, verified by myself.
 1.18  12-Sep-2002  kim Implement 8-bit pass-through.
 1.17  10-Sep-2002  kim Add back locale support for data display.

We only enable 8-bit output for known single-byte locales, currently
ISO8859-*. For all other locales the program output is unchanged.

RFC-1288 recommends that administrators have a mechanism to enable
characters greater than ASCII 126. A suggested solution is an
environment variable. The environment variables of choice here are
LC_CTYPE and LANG.

Thanks to Martin Husemann <martin@duskware.de> for the idea on checking
for known single-byte locales, to Johan Danielsson <joda@pdc.kth.se> for
checking RFC-1288, and to Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino <itojun@iijlab.net>
for insisting on retaining security for multi-byte locales.

If you experience any problems with these changes, please send me email
describing the problem and how to repeat it. I'd rather try to fix the
problem than have this change reverted. Thanks!
 1.16  20-Aug-2002  itojun revert attempt to make finger locale-dependent. (1) locale dependent
daemon is a bad idea, (2) there's no standard in 8bit finger, (3) there's no
guarantee that finger/fingerd uses the same locale, (4) existing finger client
could scream. see tech-userlevel.
 1.15  11-Aug-2002  kim Obey the locale settings of the user when deciding what characters are
valid for output. If something bad gets printed, either the locale
settings for the user (or output terminal) are wrong, or the LC_CTYPE
definitions on the system are invalid.
 1.14  05-Aug-2002  tron Avoid segmentation fault if "finger @somehost" is used.
 1.13  02-Aug-2002  christos support utmpx; no lastlogx support yet.
 1.12  19-Dec-1998  christos SVR4 timezone portability
 1.11  26-Jul-1998  mycroft const poisoning.
 1.10  19-Oct-1997  mrg fix compile warnings on the alpha.
 1.9  19-Oct-1997  mrg merge lite-2. WARNSify. clean up .Nm.
 1.8  09-Sep-1997  mrg add -g flag: do not show non real name gecos info.
 1.7  09-Jan-1997  tls RCS ID police
 1.6  22-Nov-1996  lukem don't need to explicitly NUL terminate strings written by snprintf()
 1.5  21-Nov-1996  lukem - add -h (show hostnames in short listing instead of office info), and
-o (the reverse of this, also the default)
- use vis(3) in vputc() instead of handcrufted function (from OpenBSD).
- move gecos expansion into expandusername() (a la sendmail's buildfname).
A generic version of this last bit in libutil would be useful...
- cleanup the code, fix prototypes, etc.
 1.4  24-Dec-1994  cgd pull in string.h or stdlib.h as necessary.
 1.3  07-Oct-1993  brezak Whilst hacking the Net/2 version of finger to work on Solaris 2.2 (we
needed a finger on that platform which grokked the office/phone # GCOS
info), I decided to put mail status in (as the solaris version has
that).

The attached patch adds:
- manual page typos fixed: finger doesn't scan .forward, contrary to
what the man page says (and really shouldn't either, IMHO - that's
what telnet host SMTP & VRFY are for :)

- added a mail check (printed between login info and the project).
three different messages possible:
- if you have no mail:
No Mail.
- if you have mail, but there's no unread mail:
Mail last read DDD MMM ## HH:MM (TZ)
- if you have new mail:
New mail received DDD MMM ## HH:MM (TZ)
Unread since DDD MMM ## HH:MM (TZ)

- fixed the manual page.
