chfn - change your finger information
SYNOPSIS
chfn [ -f full-name ] [ -o office ] [ -p office-phone ] [ -h home-

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.

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

unchanged. Enter the keyword "none" to make the field blank.
