.SH DESCRIPTION
.C prwtmp 
interpretes 
.I file
(default is the system wtmp file, normally /etc/wtmp, /var/log/wtmp, or
/var/adm/wtmp) as a
wtmp file and prints one line to stdout for each record. 
If the 
.B \-o
Option is given, each record is preceded by a decimal byte offset.
If the 
.B -s
Option is given, processing starts at the given byte offset instead of
the beginning of the file.

.B /etc/wtmp
.B /var/adm/wtmp
.B /var/log/wtmp
Default wtmp file (depends on OS).
.SH BUGS
None known. There are a few improvements planned, though:
An option to print the file in reverse (like last(1M), but without
coalescing matching records). Some way to select records or columns.
NLS support would be nice, too.
