This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAMEutmpx.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 <utmpx.h> header shall define the pid_t type through typedef, as
described in <sys/types.h>.
The <utmpx.h> header shall define the timeval structure as described in
<sys/time.h>.
Inclusion of the <utmpx.h> header may also make visible all symbols
from <sys/time.h>.
The <utmpx.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants 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);
