NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/lbin/llconvert [-vnrp?h] input_file [output_file]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Restore new format to old format.  Verbose. Display  lines
       while converting.  Do not preserve contents of input file.
       Formatted print only. Do not convert. (May  be  used  with

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The llconvert command reads records from the lastlog file,
       such as /var/adm/lastlog, and converts the  record  format
       to the updated struct lastlog format. If no output file is
       specified or if the output file path is identical  to  the
       input  file  path,  llconvert  makes  a backup copy of the
       original input file  using  the  following  algorithm:  If
       filename.orig exists.  Where n is a unique number.

       The  llconvert  command  attempts  to detect an input file
       that is in the wrong format (for example,  input  file  is
       already a new format file). A warning message is issued in
       this case, but conversion continues.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Success.  An error occurred.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To convert an old format accounting file to the  new  format:
 llconvert /var/adm/lastlog.prev

              Upon  completion  of  this  command, /var/adm/lastlog.prev
 will have been converted to the  new  format.
  The original /var/adm/lastlog.prev is renamed
              to:

              /var/adm/lastlog.prev.orig  To  convert  a  lastlog
              file  in new format to the old format: llconvert -r
              /var/adm/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog.old
