Hi,
The texts from 'who --help' and 'info who' say different things.
The latter does not mention the options -p, -r and -t. It further
mentions -H twice, does not list -l, --login and --lookup in their
alphabetical positions, and says that -s is ignored, but it is not
entirely: it overrides -u. Finally, 'who --help' does not describe
the -u option very well: "list users logged in". That is the
default behaviour. Better would be: "also show idle time and PID".
(By the way, the description of the -l option on 'man 1p who' is
not good: "List only those lines on which the system is waiting
for someone to login." It cannot be "only" when -a combines -l
with other options. It had better say: "List the lines...".)
