      Which Linux Command Can Be Utilized To Display Your Current Login Name?

      The whoami command will be used in order to display the correct login name. Now let us discuss the whoami command in detail. Let us briefly know why do we need this command. 

      We all know that the Linux operating system is like the backbone of the internet. The Linux operating system is normally used for entertainment stuff like studies.

      If we want to use the Linux operating system, it will be a great start but we need to memorize all the Linux commands that are present in it.

      And the command that needs to be memorized is called the whoami. This whoami command will help the users to know and to display the current user name.

       The structure to write the commands in a command prompt is $ command -options arguments.

      The whoami command will be having two types of options and it doesn’t contain any types of arguments.

      This whoami command will be considered as one of the simplest commands. But why this whoami command is considered as the essential command than all? The users who have multiple numbers of the identities, these identities are nothing but the system administrators. 

      This whoami will be able to provide a quick command for offering an opportunity for self-reflection.

      If we want to see how it works practically, now e need to type whoami command on the command prompt, now the computer will display the identity that is given to the computer by simply displaying its name.

      This Linux will be able to translate every user to a numeric user id, shortly called the uid.

      Now type another command like whoami –help and then press enter. Now we can see the introduction to the advanced command.

      We also have another common option like $whoami –version, this will help us to resolve the issues

      And the other common command is the exit where it closes the terminal window.

      Now we have learned how to use the whoami command and the use of the whoami command. In simple words whenever we forget our identity or if we want to know the identity.

      We actually can learn more about ourselves by simply using the whoami command using space. “Who am I”. When we run this command we can able to see some of the additional information.

      Like the IP address of the system along with the login time and date. And if we want to know the information about all the users who are currently in login.

      We simply type the command $who and press enter now we can see how many users are getting connected will be displayed along with their IP address.

      The who command can be made more meaningful when we type the command who -H and then press enter. Now this will display the column header with the name line time and along with their respective IP addresses.

      The who -q command will also display how many users are currently logged in along with their names.
