NAME [Toc] [Back]
utmpx - utmpx database storage file
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
File utmpx contains user accounting information for all users logged
onto the system. This file will be used instead of the utmp file,
which is being depreciated. The following information is stored in the
utmpx file:
- User login name (up to 24 characters)
- /etc/lines id
- device name (console, lnxx)
- process id
- type of entry
- exit status of a process marked as DEAD_PROCESS
- the time the entry was made
- Internet address of host, if remote
The current version of HP-UX updates both utmp and utmpx files and
formats. Direct use of utmpx file is not recommended, because utmp and
utmpx files must be updated simultaneously. This functionality is
provided by libc APIs pututline and pututxline
