NAME
       chfn - change your finger information

SYNOPSIS
       chfn  [ -f full-name ]  [ -o office ]  [ -p office-phone ] [ -h home-phone ] [ -u ]
       [ -v ] [ username ]

DESCRIPTION
       chfn is used to change your finger information.  This information is stored in  the
       /etc/passwd file, and is displayed by the finger program.  The Linux finger command
       will display four pieces of information that can be changed by  chfn  :  your  real
       name, your work room and phone, and your home phone.

   COMMAND LINE
       Any  of the four pieces of information can be specified on the command line.  If no
       information is given on the command line, chfn enters interactive mode.

   INTERACTIVE MODE
       In interactive mode, chfn will prompt for each field.  At a prompt, you  can  enter
       the  new information, or just press return to leave the field unchanged.  Enter the
       keyword "none" to make the field blank.
