.Nd twitter user information lookup program
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Ar user
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility displays information about the given twitter user.
.Sh DETAILS
In the days when we had to walk uphill (both ways!) through the snow to
the server room in order to reboot our servers, there existed the
.Xr finger 1
tool, able to display some information about users on a local or remote
system.
.Pp
In some ways, Twitter accounts have replaced users' central online
(pseudo-) identity; a Twitter user's description thus lends itself to be
displayed in the same manner.
.Sh OUTPUT FORMAT
By default,
.Nm
will generate output in a single line per user format with a descriptive
header, showing the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width real_name_
.It User
The given user's username.
.It Real Name
The real name as given on Twitter.
.It What
The short description provided by the user on Twitter.
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std
