    NAME
         pac - printer/plotter accounting information

    SYNOPSIS
         /usr/sbin/pac [ -Pprinter ] [ -pprice ] [ -s ] [ -r ] [ -c ]
         [ -m ] [ name ... ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Pac reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating
         the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster
         devices) of paper consumed by each user, and printing out
         how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
         If any names are specified, then statistics are only printed
         for those users; usually, statistics are printed for every
         user who has used any paper.

         The -P flag causes accounting to be done for the named
         printer.  Normally, accounting is done for the default
         printer (site dependent) or the value of the environment
         variable PRINTER is used.

         The -p flag causes the value price to be used for the cost
         in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price
         specified in /etc/printcap.

         The -c flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually
         the output is sorted alphabetically by name.

         The -r flag reverses the sorting order.

         The -s flag causes the accounting information to be summar-
         ized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is
         necessary since on a busy system, the accounting file can
         grow by several lines per day.

         The -m flag causes the host name to be ignored in the
         accounting file.  This allows for a user on multiple
         machines to have all of his printing charges grouped
         together.

    FILES
         /usr/adm/?acct	 raw accounting files
         /usr/adm/?_sum	 summary accounting files
         /etc/printcap	 printer capability data base

    SEE ALSO
         printcap(5)

    BUGS
         The relationship between the computed price and reality is
         as yet unknown.
