The command is whoami.  The above command is just "who" with 2 arguments
that are ignored due to the permissiveness of the who command which I
don't agree with.  There's enough to learn in Linux without having
commands that just to be cute behave in a non-standard way.  They even
point out this permissiveness in the man page but if you dare give 3
or more arguments you get an error message.
