.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn login ,
|
|
.Fn logout ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn logwtmp
|
|
functions operate on the database of current users in
|
|
.Pa /var/run/utmp
|
|
and on the logfile
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
|
|
of logins and logouts.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn login
|
|
function updates the
|
|
.Pa /var/run/utmp
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
|
|
files with user information contained in
|
|
.Fa ut .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn logout
|
|
function removes the entry from
|
|
.Pa /var/run/utmp
|
|
corresponding to the device
|
|
.Fa line .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn logwtmp
|
|
function adds an entry to
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp .
|
|
Since
|
|
.Fn login
|
|
will add the appropriate entry for
|
|
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
|
|
during a login,
|
|
.Fn logwtmp
|
|
is usually used for logouts.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn logout
|
|
returns non-zero if it was able to find and delete an entry for
|
|
.Fa line ,
|
|
and zero if there is no entry for
|
|
.Fa line
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /var/run/utmp .
