pinky: Display details for a specific user.
$ pinky ${user}
try on your machine

The command "pinky ${user}" is used to display information about a specific user on the system.

Here, "${user}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual username of the user you want to get information about.

The "pinky" command is a utility that provides information about users on Unix and Unix-like systems. When you execute the command with a specific username, it will display details such as the user's login name, real name, shell, login time, idle time, and other account-related information.

In summary, by replacing "${user}" with a valid username, the command "pinky ${user}" will provide details about that user on the system.
