261. Introduction
27
28This directory contains  source code for the "exdump"  utility that uses
29libexacct to print the content  of extended accounting files produced by
30the kernel.
31
32This  utility   demonstrates  how  developers  can  use   the  libexacct
33programming API to extract  extended accounting data. libexacct(3LIB) is
34the only interface for reading and  writing  files  in  variable  length
35general-purpose accounting file format  used  by  the  kernel  to  store
36various types of accounting data.
37
382. Configuration
39
40Exdump can be compiled as either a 32-bit or 64-bit application; because
41exacct is endian-neutral, exdump can read exacct files from either SPARC
42or Intel sources on SPARC or Intel platforms. exdump prints one line for
43each record it encounters in the exacct file.
44
45The Makefile contained in this directory is set up to use the C compiler
46(cc) and lint  utility found in your  $PATH.  If you wish  to change the
47configuration, edit  the CC  and LINT macro  definitions in  Makefile to
48point to the appropriate pathnames.
49
503. Targets
51
52The Makefile in this directory supports the following targets:
53
54	make all (default)	- build exdump executable
55	make lint		- run lint against exdump
56	make clean		- remove object files
57	make clobber		- remove objects, and lint files
58
59To  build the  exdump,  execute  "make" in  this  directory.  This  will
60execute the default "make all" target.
