NAME         top

       dump-acct - print an acct/pacct file in human-readable format

SYNOPSIS         top

       dump-acct [-r|--reverse] [-R|--raw] [-n|--num recs] [--byte-swap]
       [--format] [--ahz freq] [-h|--help] [files]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The dump-acct command transforms the output file from the accton
       format to the human-readable format: one record per line.  Each
       record consists of severald fields which are separated by character
       "|" (the meaning of concreate field depends on the version of kernel
       package - with which the accton file was created).

       -r, --reverse

       -n, --num NUMRECS
              Display only the first NUMRECS number of records.
       --byteswap
              Swap the bytes (relative to your system's native byte order)
              in --raw output.
       --format
              Set output format with --raw option.
       --ahz FREQ
