On a Linux system, each user's login records are normally stored in the binary file /var/log/wtmp. The login records in this binary file can not be viewed or edited directly using normal Linux text commands like 'less', 'cat', etc. The 'last' command is often used to display the login records stored in this file in a human readable form. Please check the man page of the 'last' command for available soonoptions. The following is the contents of the file named "usage_data_file", which is a sample output of the 'last' command with the '-Fiw' flag on:<pre>$ last -Fiw > usage_data_file$ cat usage_data_filerchan pts/9 10.40.91.236 Tue Feb 13 16:53:42 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:57:02 2018 (00:03) cwsmith pts/10 10.40.105.130 Wed Feb 14 23:09:12 2018 - Thu Feb 15 02:11:23 2018 (03:02)rchan pts/2 10.40.91.236 Tue Feb 13 16:22:00 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:45:00 2018 (00:23) rchan pts/5 10.40.91.236 Tue Feb 15 16:22:00 2018 - Tue Feb 15 16:55:00 2018 (00:33) asmith pts/2 10.43.115.162 Tue Feb 13 16:19:29 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:22:00 2018 (00:02) tsliu2 pts/4 10.40.105.130 Tue Feb 13 16:17:21 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:30:10 2018 (00:12) cwsmith pts/13 10.40.91.247 Tue Mar 13 18:08:52 2018 - Tue Mar 13 18:46:52 2018 (00:38) asmith pts/11 10.40.105.130 Tue Feb 13 14:07:43 2018 - Tue Feb 13 16:07:43 2018 (02:00)</pre>It is always desirable to have a daily or weekly usage reports by user or by remote host based on the above information. == Tasks for this assignment ==In this assignment, your should preform the following activities:# Complete an User Requirement Document for producing daily and weekly usage reports by user or by remote host based on the information stored in any given files generated from the 'last' command. # Once you have complete the User Requirement Document, you should then <b>design the structure of your python script</b> by identifying the appropriate python objects, functions and modules to be used for each task in your algorithm and the main control logic. Make sure to identify the followings:## input data, ## computation tasks, and ## outputs.# implement your computational solution using a single python script. You can use any built-in functions and functions from the allowed python modules to implement your solution. # Test and review your working python code to see whether you can improve the interface of each function to facilitate better code re-use (this process is called <b>refactoring</b>). == Allowed Python Modules for this assignment ==* the <b>os, sys</b> modules* the <b>argparse</b> module* The <b>time</b> module or the <b>a2</b> module** [https://docs.python.org/3/howto/argparse.html Argparse Tutorial] - should read this first.** [https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html Argparse API reference information page]* the <b>time</b> module or the <b>a2</b>module, <b>but not both</b>** [https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python3/python_date_time.htm Time module Tutorial]** [https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html Time module API reference page] == Instructions == === Program Name and valid command line arguments ===Name your Python3 script as <code>ur_[student_id].py</code>. Create a symbolic link to your script as ur.py (e.g. use the command ln -s ur_rchan.py ur.py to create the link) so that you can refer to your script as ur.py. Your script must accept one or more "file name" as its command line parameters and other optional parameters as shown below. Your python script should produce the following usage text when run with the --help option:<pre>[rchan@centos7 a1]$ python3 ./ur.py -husage: ur_rchan.py [-h] [-l {user,host}] [-r RHOST] [-t {daily,weekly,monthly}] [-u USER] [-v] F [F ...] Usage Report based on the last command positional arguments: F list of files to be processed optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -l {user,host}, --list {user,host} generate user name or remote host IP from the given files -r RHOST, --rhost RHOST usage report for the given remote host IP -t {daily,weekly,monthly}, --type {daily,weekly,monthly} type of report: daily, weekly, and monthly -u USER, --user USER usage report for the given user name -v, --verbose tune on output verbosity Copyright 2019 - Raymond Chan </pre>Replace the last line with your own full name   If there is only one file name provided at the command line, read the login/logout records from the contents of the given file. The format of each line in the file should be the same as the output of 'last -Fiw'. Filter out incomplete login/logout record (hints: check for the number of fields in each record). If there is more than one file name provided, merge all the files together with the first one at the top and the last one at the bottom. Read and process the file contents in that order in your program. === Header === All your Python codes for this assignment must be placed in a <font color='red'><b><u>single source file</u></b></font>.
