A GNU Arch Handbook

2.1 Set Your User Identity

(prev chapter) (next)

You must set your user id. An arch user id looks like a pretty-printed email address. Here is my current arch id:

	Thomas Lord <lord@emf.net>

The part in angle brackets is mandatory. At this time, you must be fairly conservative in the characters you use in your id (sorry -- we're working on it but don't want to liberalize the standard carelessly).

How to Do It

	% tla my-id "Thomas Lord <lord@emf.net>"

  

Commands Discussed

	% tla my-id -H
