constructs a utmp structure using

Then it calls

|
|
|
.BR updwtmp ()
|
2009-09-27 07:26:36 +00:00
|
|
|

Not in POSIX.1-2001.

.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
|
Both functions are available under glibc2, but not under libc5.
|
|
|
|
|
However,
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
.BR logwtmp ()
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
used to occur in the old libbsd.
|
|
|
|
|
These days, the
|
2005-10-19 06:54:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
.BR logwtmp ()
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
function is included in libutil.
|
2007-05-21 09:56:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(Hence you'll need to add \fI\-lutil\fP
|
2005-06-24 14:44:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to your compiler command line to get it.)

|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
For consistency with the other "utmpx" functions (see
|
|
|
|
|
.BR getutxent (3)),
|
|
|
|
|
glibc provides (since version 2.1):
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
.B #include <utmpx.h>
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
.BI "void updwtmpx (const char *" wtmpx_file ", const struct utmpx *" utx );
|
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
This function performs the same task as
|
|
|
|
|
.BR updwtmp (),
|
|
|
|
|
but differs in that it takes a
|
|
|
|
|
.I utmpx
|
|
|
|
|
structure as its last argument.
