   NAME
         utmp, wtmp - utmp and wtmp entry formats

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <utmp.h>

   DESCRIPTION
         These files, which hold user and accounting information for such
         commands as who, write, and login, have the following structure,
         defined in <utmp.h> for the M88000 family of processors reference
         platform:

         #define   WTMP_FILE   "/var/adm/wtmp"
         #define   ut_name     ut_user

         struct     utmp {
            char    ut_user[8];      /* user login name */

                                     /* process that puts entry in utmp) */

            char ut_host[24];        /* hostname, if remote(BCS) */
         };
