NAME
utmpx.h - user accounting database definitions
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <utmpx.h> header shall define the utmpx structure that shall
include at least the following members:
char ut_user[] User login name.
char ut_id[] Unspecified initialization process identifier.
char ut_line[] Device name.
pid_t ut_pid Process ID.
short ut_type Type of entry.
struct timeval ut_tv Time entry was made.
The pid_t type shall be defined through typedef as described in
<sys/types.h> .
The timeval structure shall be defined as described in <sys/time.h> .
Inclusion of the <utmpx.h> header may also make visible all symbols
from <sys/time.h>.
The following symbolic constants shall be defined as possible values
for the ut_type member of the utmpx structure:
EMPTY No valid user accounting information.
BOOT_TIME
Identifies time of system boot.
OLD_TIME
Identifies time when system clock changed.
NEW_TIME
Identifies time after system clock changed.
USER_PROCESS
Identifies a process.
INIT_PROCESS
Identifies a process spawned by the init process.
LOGIN_PROCESS
Identifies the session leader of a logged-in user.
DEAD_PROCESS
Identifies a session leader who has exited.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
void endutxent(void);
struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *);
struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *);
struct utmpx *pututxline(const struct utmpx *);
void setutxent(void);
