According to Subash Patel on 5/21/2008 6:51 AM:
| Although I have been using this command for a long time,
| I never gave a thought to try something like today, which happened by a
| typo. As per this document, "am I" is considered as arguments (most
| common one). So isnt it required to validate them?
who is working exactly as documented. There is nothing _to_ validate -
the documentation states that who changes its behavior merely because of
the _presence_ of two arguments, without regards to the contents of those
arguments.
| "Who abcd abcd" has
| no meaning when the purpose was "who am I", and both throw same output.
As designed.
