>&#13;          GECOS is an obsolete term that refers to the finger information
          field on a Honeywell batch processing system. The field, however,
          lives on, and its contents have been formalized by POSIX. The
          field contains a comma separated list containing the user's full
          name, office phone, office number, and home phone number. On most
          systems, only the user's full name is available.
