function declarations for all library services, as well as for the
characteristics of accounting files generated by the Solaris kernel.

.LP
The SUNWosdem package provides source code for the \fBexdump\fR utility that
uses the \fBlibexacct\fR APIs to dump the contents of extended accounting
files. The source code can be compiled in the directory
\fB/usr/demo/libexacct\fR.
