The command "finger -m" is used to display information about multiple users simultaneously.
When you run the "finger -m" command, it retrieves and displays specific information about users currently logged into a system. This information typically includes the user's login name, full name, terminal, login time, idle time, and their most recent activity.
The "-m" flag stands for "multiple", indicating that the command is designed to gather data for multiple users at once. This is in contrast to the regular "finger" command, which shows information about a single user.
By executing "finger -m", you can obtain an overview of several users' activities and statuses, which can be useful for system administration tasks or general monitoring.
