NAME

       helpers - list or count helpers currently on the system.

SYNOPSIS

       helpers [-fln]

DESCRIPTION

       Helpers  are  users  who volunteer to answer help requests by setting a
       help flag.  For more information, see the manual pages for mesg(1)  and
       write(1).

       The  helpers  command  lists  or  counts  the people who currently have
       helper flags set on the system.  It lists them by default, or if the -l
       flag  is given.  It prints a count to standard output if the -n flag is
       given.

       If the -f flag is given, only the helpers who are  currently  free  are
       listed or counted.
