.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions provide access to the
.Xr utmpx 5
user accounting database.
.Pp
.Fn getutxent
reads the next entry from the database;
if the database was not yet open, it also opens it.
.Fn setutxent
resets the database, so that the next
.Fn getutxent
call will get the first entry.
.Fn endutxent
closes the database.
.Pp
.Fn getutxid
returns the next entry of the type specified in its argument's
.Va ut_type
field, or
.Dv NULL
if none is found.
.Fn getutxline
returns the next
.Dv LOGIN_PROCESS
or
.Dv USER_PROCESS
entry which has the same name as specified in the
.Va ut_line
field, or
.Dv NULL
if no match is found.
.Pp
.Fn pututxline
adds the argument
.Xr utmpx 5
entry line to the accounting database, replacing a previous entry for
the same user if it exists.
.Ss The utmpx structure
The
.Nm utmpx
structure has the following definition:
.Pp
.Bd -literal
struct utmpx {
char ut_name[_UTX_USERSIZE]; /* login name */
char ut_id[_UTX_IDSIZE]; /* inittab id */
char ut_line[_UTX_LINESIZE]; /* tty name */
char ut_host[_UTX_HOSTSIZE]; /* host name */
uint16_t ut_session; /* session id used for windowing */
uint16_t ut_type; /* type of this entry */
pid_t ut_pid; /* process id creating the entry */
struct {
uint16_t e_termination; /* process termination signal */
uint16_t e_exit; /* process exit status */
} ut_exit;
struct sockaddr_storage ut_ss; /* address where entry was made from */
struct timeval ut_tv; /* time entry was created */
uint32_t ut_pad[10]; /* reserved for future use */
};
.Ed
.Pp
Valid entries for
.Fa ut_type
are:
.Bl -tag -width LOGIN_PROCESSXX -compact -offset indent
.It Dv BOOT_TIME
Time of a system boot.
.It Dv DEAD_PROCESS
A session leader exited.
.It Dv EMPTY
No valid user accounting information.
.It Dv INIT_PROCESS
A process spawned by
.Xr init 8 .
.It Dv LOGIN_PROCESS
The session leader of a logged-in user.
.It Dv NEW_TIME
Time after system clock change.
.It Dv OLD_TIME
Time before system clock change.
.It Dv RUN_LVL
Run level.
Provided for compatibility, not used on
.Nx "" .
.It Dv USER_PROCESS
A user process.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn getutxent
returns the next entry, or
.Dv NULL
on failure (end of database or problems reading from the database).
.Fn getutxid
and
.Fn getutxline
return the matching structure on success, or
.Dv NULL
if no match was found.
.Fn pututxline
returns the structure that was successfully written, or
.Dv NULL .
