+COMMENT(!MOD!zsh/watch
+Reporting of login and logout events.
+!MOD!)
+The tt(zsh/watch) module can be used to report when specific users log in or
+out. This is controlled via the following parameters.
+
+startitem()
+vindex(LOGCHECK)
+item(tt(LOGCHECK))(
+The interval in seconds between checks for login/logout activity
+using the tt(watch) parameter.
+)
+vindex(watch)
+vindex(WATCH)
+item(tt(watch) <S> <Z> (tt(WATCH) <S>))(
+An array (colon-separated list) of login/logout events to report.
+
+If it contains the single word `tt(all)', then all login/logout events
+are reported.  If it contains the single word `tt(notme)', then all
+events are reported as with `tt(all)' except tt($USERNAME).
+
+An entry in this list may consist of a username,
+an `tt(@)' followed by a remote hostname,
+and a `tt(%)' followed by a line (tty).  Any of these may
+be a pattern (be sure to quote this during the assignment to
+tt(watch) so that it does not immediately perform file generation);
+the setting of the tt(EXTENDED_GLOB) option is respected.
+Any or all of these components may be present in an entry;
+if a login/logout event matches all of them,
+it is reported.
+
+For example, with the tt(EXTENDED_GLOB) option set, the following:
+
+example(watch=('^(pws|barts)'))
+
+causes reports for activity associated with any user other than tt(pws)
+or tt(barts).

+The line (tty) the user is logged in on.

+item(tt(%M))(
+The full hostname of the remote host.
+)
+item(tt(%m))(
+The hostname up to the first `tt(.)'.  If only the
+IP address is available or the utmp field contains
+the name of an X-windows display, the whole name is printed.

+field in the utmp on your machine.  Otherwise they are
+treated as ordinary strings.
