NAME

13       utmpx.h — user accounting database definitions
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <utmpx.h>
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The <utmpx.h> header  shall  define  the  utmpx  structure  that  shall
20       include at least the following members:
21
22           char            ut_user[]  User login name.
23           char            ut_id[]    Unspecified initialization process identifier.
24           char            ut_line[]  Device name.
25           pid_t           ut_pid     Process ID.
26           short           ut_type    Type of entry.
27           struct timeval  ut_tv      Time entry was made.
28
29       The  <utmpx.h>  header  shall define the pid_t type through typedef, as
30       described in <sys/types.h>.
31
32       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the timeval structure as described in
33       <sys/time.h>.
34
35       Inclusion  of  the  <utmpx.h>  header may also make visible all symbols
36       from <sys/time.h>.
37
38       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the following symbolic  constants  as
39       possible values for the ut_type member of the utmpx structure:
40
41       EMPTY         No valid user accounting information.
42
43       BOOT_TIME     Identifies time of system boot.
44
45       OLD_TIME      Identifies time when system clock changed.
46
47       NEW_TIME      Identifies time after system clock changed.
48
49       USER_PROCESS  Identifies a process.
50
51       INIT_PROCESS  Identifies a process spawned by the init process.
52
53       LOGIN_PROCESS Identifies the session leader of a logged-in user.
54
55       DEAD_PROCESS  Identifies a session leader who has exited.
56
57       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
58       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
59
60           void          endutxent(void);
61           struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
62           struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *);
63           struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *);
64           struct utmpx *pututxline(const struct utmpx *);
65           void          setutxent(void);
