UTMPX.H 3HEAD "Apr 16, 2007"
NAME
utmpx.h, utmpx - user accounting database definitions
SYNOPSIS

#include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION

The <utmpx.h> header defines the utmpx structure, which includes the following members:

char ut_user[]; /* user login name */
char ut_id[]; /* unspecified initialization */
 /* process identifier */
char ut_line[]; /* device name */
pid_t ut_pid; /* process ID */
short ut_type; /* type of entry */

for X/Open compilation environments:

struct ut_exit_status ut_exit; /* process termination/exit status*/

for all other compilation environments:

struct exit_status ut_exit; /* process termination/exit status*/
struct timeval ut_tv; /* time entry was made */
int ut_session; /* session ID, used for windowing */
short ut_syslen; /* significant length of ut_host */
 /* including terminating null */
char ut_host[]; /* remote host name */

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

The timeval structure is defined as described in <sys/time.h>.

Inclusion of the <utmpx.h> header can also make visible all symbols from <sys/time.h>.

The following symbolic constants are defined as possible values for the ut_type member of the utmpx structure: EMPTY

No valid user accounting information.

BOOT_TIME

Identifies time of system boot.

OLD_TIME

Identifies time when system clock changed.

NEW_TIME

Identifies time after system clock changed.

USER_PROCESS

Identifies a process.

INIT_PROCESS

Identifies a process spawned by the init process.

LOGIN_PROCESS

Identifies the session leader of a logged-in user.

DEAD_PROCESS

Identifies a session leader who has exited.
