3.2.2 Output

accrpt analyzes raw accounting information and outputs the aggregated accounting information into STDOUT. Three groups of fields are outputted in sequence:

• Implicit fields: include STIME and ETIME of the time window. They are always printed as the first and second fields.
• Key field: All key fields specified by –k option.
• Measurement fields: all fields specified by –o option.

accrpt prints all fields in one line prefixed #character firstly and all accounting information subsequently, sorted by all Key fields, STIME, and ETIME in ascending order. In a line, all fields are separated by TAB character. If a value is not available, it is left empty.
