UTMPX.H(3HEAD)UTMPX.H(3HEAD)NAME
utmpx.h, utmpx - user accounting database definitions
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <utmpx.h> header defines the utmpx structure, which includes 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 */
for X/Open compilation environments:
struct ut_exit_status ut_exit; /* process termination/exit status*/
for all other compilation environments:
struct exit_status ut_exit; /* process termination/exit status*/
struct timeval ut_tv; /* time entry was made */
int ut_session; /* session ID, used for windowing */
short ut_syslen; /* significant length of ut_host */
/* including terminating null */
char ut_host[]; /* remote host name */
The pid_t type is defined through typedef as described in
<sys/types.h>.
The timeval structure is defined as described in <sys/time.h>.
Inclusion of the <utmpx.h> header can also make visible all symbols
from <sys/time.h>.
The following symbolic constants are 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.
