DESCRIPTION
These functions provide access to the user accounting database,
utmpx(5). Entries in the database are described by the definitions and
data structures in <utmpx.h>.
The utmpx structure contains the following members:
char ut_user[32]; /* user login name */
char ut_id[4]; /* /etc/inittab id */
/* (usually line #) */
char ut_line[32]; /* device name */
/* (console, lnxx) */
pid_t ut_pid; /* process id */
short ut_type; /* type of entry */
struct exit_status ut_exit; /* exit status of a process */
/* marked as DEAD_PROCESS */
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[257]; /* host name, if remote */
The exit_status structure includes the following members:
short e_termination; /* termination status */
short e_exit; /* exit status */
getutxent()
The getutxent() function reads in the next entry from a utmpx database.
If the database is not already open, it opens it. If it reaches the end
of the database, it fails.
getutxid()
The getutxid() function searches forward from the current point in the
utmpx database until it finds an entry with a ut_type matching
id->ut_type, if the type specified is RUN_LVL, BOOT_TIME, DOWN_TIME,
OLD_TIME, or NEW_TIME. If the type specified in id is INIT_PROCESS, LO‐
GIN_PROCESS, USER_PROCESS, or DEAD_PROCESS, then getutxid() will return
a pointer to the first entry whose type is one of these four and whose
ut_id member matches id->ut_id. If the end of database is reached with‐
out a match, it fails.
getutxline()
The getutxline() function searches forward from the current point in
the utmpx database until it finds an entry of the type LOGIN_PROCESS or
USER_PROCESS which also has a ut_line string matching the line->ut_line
string. If the end of the database is reached without a match, it
fails.
pututxline()
The pututxline() function writes the supplied utmpx structure into the
utmpx database. It uses getutxid() to search forward for the proper
place if it finds that it is not already at the proper place. It is ex‐
pected that normally the user of pututxline() will have searched for
the proper entry using one of the getutx() routines. If so, pututx‐
line() will not search. If pututxline() does not find a matching slot
for the new entry, it will add a new entry to the end of the database.
It returns a pointer to the utmpx structure. When called by a non-root
user, pututxline() invokes a setuid() root program to verify and write
the entry, since the utmpx database is normally writable only by root.
In this event, the ut_name member must correspond to the actual user
name associated with the process; the ut_type member must be either
USER_PROCESS or DEAD_PROCESS; and the ut_line member must be a device
special file and be writable by the user.
setutxent()
The setutxent() function resets the input stream to the beginning. This
should be done before each search for a new entry if it is desired that
the entire database be examined.
endutxent()
The endutxent() function closes the currently open database.
utmpxname()
The utmpxname() function allows the user to change the name of the
database file examined from /var/adm/utmpx to any other file, most of‐
ten /var/adm/wtmpx. If the file does not exist, this will not be appar‐
ent until the first attempt to reference the file is made. The utmpx‐
name() function does not open the file, but closes the old file if it
is currently open and saves the new file name. The new file name must
end with the "x" character to allow the name of the corresponding utmp
file to be easily obtainable; otherwise, an error value of 0 is re‐
turned. The function returns 1 on success.
getutmp()
The getutmp() function copies the information stored in the members of
the utmpx structure to the corresponding members of the utmp structure.
If the information in any member of utmpx does not fit in the corre‐
sponding utmp member, the data is silently truncated. (See getutent(3C)
for the utmp structure.)
getutmpx()
The getutmpx() function copies the information stored in the members of
the utmp structure to the corresponding members of the utmpx structure.
(See getutent(3C) for the utmp structure.)
updwtmp()
The updwtmp() function can be used in two ways.
If wfile is /var/adm/wtmp, the utmp format record supplied by the
caller is converted to a utmpx format record and the /var/adm/wtmpx
file is updated (because the /var/adm/wtmp file no longer exists, oper‐
ations on wtmp are converted to operations on wtmpx by the library
functions).
If wfile is a file other than /var/adm/wtmp, it is assumed to be an old
file in utmp format and is updated directly with the utmp format record
supplied by the caller.
updwtmpx()
The updwtmpx() function writes the contents of the utmpx structure
pointed to by utmpx to the database.
utmpx structure
The values of the e_termination and e_exit members of the ut_exit
structure are valid only for records of type DEAD_PROCESS. For utmpx
entries created by init(8), these values are set according to the re‐
sult of the wait() call that init performs on the process when the
process exits. See the wait(3C) manual page for the values init uses.
Applications creating utmpx entries can set ut_exit values using the
following code example:
u->ut_exit.e_termination = WTERMSIG(process->p_exit)
u->ut_exit.e_exit = WEXITSTATUS(process->p_exit)
See wait.h(3HEAD) for descriptions of the WTERMSIG and WEXITSTATUS
macros.
The ut_session member is not acted upon by the operating system. It is
used by applications interested in creating utmpx entries.
For records of type USER_PROCESS, the nonuser() and nonuserx() macros
use the value of the ut_exit.e_exit member to mark utmpx entries as
real logins (as opposed to multiple terminals started by the same user
on a window system). This allows the system utilities that display
users to obtain an accurate indication of the number of actual users,
while still permitting each pty to have a utmpx record (as most appli‐
cations expect). The NONROOT_USER macro defines the value that login
places in the ut_exit.e_exit member.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, getutxent(), getutxid(), and getutxline()
each return a pointer to a utmpx structure containing a copy of the re‐
quested entry in the user accounting database. Otherwise a null pointer
is returned.
The return value may point to a static area which is overwritten by a
subsequent call to getutxid() or getutxline().
Upon successful completion, pututxline() returns a pointer to a utmpx
structure containing a copy of the entry added to the user accounting
database. Otherwise a null pointer is returned.
The endutxent() and setutxent() functions return no value.
A null pointer is returned upon failure to read, whether for permis‐
sions or having reached the end of file, or upon failure to write.
USAGE
These functions use buffered standard I/O for input, but pututxline()
uses an unbuffered write to avoid race conditions between processes
trying to modify the utmpx and wtmpx files.
Applications should not access the utmpx and wtmpx databases directly,
but should use these functions to ensure that these databases are main‐
tained consistently.

NOTES
The most current entry is saved in a static structure. Multiple ac‐
cesses require that it be copied before further accesses are made. On
each call to either getutxid() or getutxline(), the routine examines
the static structure before performing more I/O. If the contents of the
static structure match what it is searching for, it looks no further.
For this reason, to use getutxline() to search for multiple occurrences
it would be necessary to zero out the static after each success, or
getutxline() would just return the same structure over and over again.
There is one exception to the rule about emptying the structure before
further reads are done. The implicit read done by pututxline() (if it
finds that it is not already at the correct place in the file) will not
hurt the contents of the static structure returned by the getutxent(),
getutxid(), or getutxline() routines, if the user has just modified
those contents and passed the pointer back to pututxline().
HISTORY
The endutxent(), getutmp(), getutmpx(), getutxent(), getutxid(),
getutxline(), pututxline(), setutxent(), updwtmp(), updwtmpx(), and
utmpxname() functions were added in Solaris 2.0.
