   utmpx(4)                                                           utmpx(4)


   NAME
         utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx entry formats

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <utmpx.h>

   DESCRIPTION
         utmpx(4) is an extended version of utmp(4).

         These files, which hold user and accounting information for such
         commands as who, write, and login, have the following structure as
         defined by <utmpx.h>:

         #define   UTMPX_FILE   "/var/adm/utmpx"
         #define   WTMPX_FILE   "/var/adm/wtmpx"
         #define   ut_name    ut_user
         #define   ut_xtime   ut_tv.tv_sec

         struct utmpx  {
            char   ut_user[32];           /* user login name */
            char   ut_id[4];              /* inittab id */
            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;   /* process termination/exit status */
            struct timeval ut_tv;         /* time entry was made */
            long   ut_session;            /* session ID, used for windowing */
            long   pad[5];                /* reserved for future use */
            short  ut_syslen;             /* significant length of ut_host */
                                          /*   including terminating null */
            char   ut_host[257];          /* remote host name */
           } ;

                                                /* Definitions for ut_type */

         #define   LOGIN_PROCESS  6  /* A "getty" process waiting for login */
         #define   USER_PROCESS   7  /* A user process */
         #define   DEAD_PROCESS   8
         #define   ACCOUNTING     9

         #define   UTMAXTYPE      REMOTE_PROCESS  /* Largest legal value of ut_type */

         /*     Special strings or formats used in the "ut_line" field when    */
         /*     accounting for something other than a process.                 */
         /*     No string for the ut_line field can be more than 11 chars +    */
