       sequence of pairs.  Each pair is printed on a separate line and is pre‐

       rity(4) for more	 details  about	 the  user  database  and  system-wide
       defaults, respectively.

       If  no  attr  arguments are specified on the command line, displays all
       configurable attributes of users in the user database.  If one or  more
       attr arguments are specified, displays only those attributes.
