$ w -i

try on your machine

The command "w -i" is used to display a list of currently logged-in users on a system along with some additional information.

Specifically, the "w" command stands for "who" and provides a summary of the current system status, including information about the users currently logged in, their login time, idle time, the terminal they are using, and the CPU and memory usage of each user's processes.

The option "-i" in this command specifies the IP address or host name of the user's machine from which they are accessing the system. This additional information can be helpful in identifying where each user is connecting from.

By executing the "w -i" command, you get a detailed overview of the users currently logged in and their corresponding information, including the IP address or host name of the machine they are using to access the system.
