Synopsis

Wcat  provides an easy way to recover trimmed information from wtmp binary files. This tool can be useful
       for scripts that need only partial information from them.

       Notice that wcat output is binary wtmp entries so if this information is printed out  to  a  terminal  or
       screen it might mess it up. A better use of wcat would be: wcat|rawtmp-w-
