INTRODUCTION
|
||
Finger is a facility for determining and displaying information about other users running Xerox LISP. It displays the user's name, the Etherhostname (or the octal net address when no nameserver is available) and the user's idle time (time since last keystroke or mouseaction). Only other users who have the finger server loaded will be displayed. Users can specify the net radius to query, a list specifying only which users they want displayed, or similarly, only which hosts are to be displayed.
|
||
Loading Finger begins the finger server (which responds to queries). To display finger information, the following top-level function is provided:
|
||
(FINGER WHO HOST HOPS ICON?) [Function]
|
||
WHO is an optional list of usernames specifying which people are to be displayed if a response is received. who defaults to FINGER.CROWD, initially NIL meaning display all responses.
|
||
HOST is an optional list of etherhostnames analogous to WHO. Specifying both WHO and HOST denotes union. HOST defaults to NIL, denoting all hosts.
|
||
HOPS specifies the net radius to query. 0 specifies only nets to which you are directly connected. hops defaults to FINGER.NET.HOPS, initially 2.
|
||
ICON? specifies whether initial display should be the finger icon
