Well, there aren't any "standard" qualifiers for finger. Different
implementations have different things.
Finger on OSX have the following qualifiers and arguments:
finger [-46gklmpsho] [user ...] [user@host ...]
My RSX finger have a completely different set of qualifiers, and a
different parsing to that, but are using single letters for each
qualifier. (And accepts either / or - as the indication that it is a
qualifier.)

As can be seen, the Tops-20 finger client has
been modified to send
the name of the local user and optional data identifying the finger
client. Probably I'll change that to the finger version. The RFC for
TCP/IP finger is (naturally) silent on what you can send over DECnet,
so this doesn't break anything. So, I can finger myself on MIM::just
fine, viz:
DECnet uses the same sorts of qualifiers as the TCP/IP version.
