utmpx, wtmpx -- extended user and accounting information

Synopsis

   #include <utmpx.h>

Description

4utmpx( )4

These files, which hold user and accounting information for such commands as who, write, and login, have the following structure as defined by utmpx.h:

   #define   ut_name      ut_user
   #define   ut_xtime     ut_tv.tv_sec

The utmpx structure includes the following members:

      char   ut_user[32];           /* user login name */
      char   ut_id[4];              /* inittab id */
      char   ut_line[32];           /* device name (console, lnxx) */
      pid_t  ut_pid;                /* process id */
      short  ut_type;               /* type of entry */
      struct ut_exit_status {
      short  ut_e_termination;         /* termination status */
      short  ut_e_exit;                /* exit status */
      } ut_exit;                    /* process termination/exit status */
      struct timeval {
      long  tv_sec;                 /* seconds */
      long  tv_usec;                /* and microseconds */
      } ut_tv;                      /* time entry was made */
      long   ut_session;            /* session ID, used for windowing */
      long   pad[5];                /* reserved for future use */
      short  ut_syslen;             /* significant length of ut_host */
                                    /* including terminating null */
      char   ut_host[257];          /* remote host name */
   

/* Definitions for ut_type */

#define EMPTY 0 #define RUN_LVL 1 #define BOOT_TIME 2 #define OLD_TIME 3 #define NEW_TIME 4 #define INIT_PROCESS 5 /* Process spawned by "init" */ #define LOGIN_PROCESS 6 /* A "getty" process waiting for login */ #define USER_PROCESS 7 /* A user process */ #define DEAD_PROCESS 8
