NAME¶
updwtmp, logwtmp - append an entry to the wtmp file
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <utmp.h>
void updwtmp(const char *wtmp_file, const struct utmp *ut);
void logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);
DESCRIPTION¶
updwtmp() appends the utmp structure
ut to the wtmp file.
logwtmp() constructs an utmp structure using
line,
name,
host, current time and current process id. Then it calls
updwtmp() to append the structure to the utmp file.
AVAILABILITY¶
Both functions are available under glibc2, but not under libc5. However,
logwtmp occurs in the old libbsd.
