NAME
     utmpx, wtmpx - entry formats

SYNOPSIS
     #include <utmpx.h>
     #include <wtmpx.h>

DESCRIPTION
     utmpx is an extended version of utmp(4).

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

     #define   UTMPXFILE   "/var/adm/utmpx"
     #define   WTMPXFILE   "/var/adm/wtmpx"
     #define   utname    utuser
     #define   utxtime   uttv.tvsec

     struct utmpx  {
       char   utuser[32];         /* user login name */
       char   utid[4];            /* inittab id */
       char   utline[32];         /* device name (console, lnxx) */
       pidt  utpid;              /* process id */
       short  uttype;             /* type of entry */
       struct exitstatus utexit; /* process termination/exit status */
       struct timeval uttv;       /* time entry was made */
       long   utsession;          /* session ID, used for windowing */
       long   pad[5];              /* reserved */
       short  utsyslen;           /* significant length of uthost */
                                   /* including terminating null */
       char   uthost[257];        /* remote host name */
     } ;

           /* Definitions for uttype */

     #define  EMPTY          0 /* No valid user accounting information */
     #define  RUNLVL        1
     #define  BOOTTIME      2 /* Time of system boot */
     #define  OLDTIME       3 /* Time when system clock changed */
     #define  NEWTIME       4 /* Time after system clock changed */
     #define  INITPROCESS   5 /* Process spawned by "init" */
     #define  LOGINPROCESS  6 /* A "getty" process waiting for login */
     #define  USERPROCESS   7 /* A user process */
     #define  DEADPROCESS   8 /* A session leader who has exited */
     #define  ACCOUNTING     9

     #define  UTMAXTYPE  ACCOUNTING /* Largest legal value of uttype */

     /*   Below are special strings or formats used in the "utline"  */
     /*   field when accounting for something other than a process.   */
     /*   No string for the utline field can be more than 11 chars + */
     /*   a null character in length.                                 */

     The following functions are declared:

     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);
     int utmpxname(const char*);
     struct utmpx *makeutx(const struct utmpx*);
     struct utmpx *modutx(const struct utmpx*);
     void getutmp(const struct utmpx*, struct utmp*);
     void getutmpx(const struct utmp*, struct utmpx*);
     void updwtmp(const char*, struct utmp*);
     void updwtmpx(const char*, struct utmpx*);

NOTES
     The timeval structure is defined as described in <sys/time.h>. Inclu-
     sion of the <utmpx.h> header may also make visible all symbols from
     <sys/time.h>.

     The pidt type is defined through typedef as described in
     <sys/types.h>.
