63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64These functions provide access to the
65.Xr utmpx 5
66and
67.Xr wtmpx 5
68user accounting database.
69.Pp
70.Fn getutxent
71reads the next entry from the database;
72if the database was not yet open, it also opens it.
73.Fn setutxent
74resets the database, so that the next
75.Fn getutxent
76call will get the first entry.
77.Fn endutxent
78closes the database.
79.Pp
80.Fn getutxid
81returns the next entry of the type specified in its argument's
82.Va ut_type
83field, or
84.Dv NULL
85if none is found.
86.Fn getutxline
87returns the next
88.Dv LOGIN_PROCESS
89or
90.Dv USER_PROCESS
91entry which has the same name as specified in the
92.Va ut_line
93field, or
94.Dv NULL
95if no match is found.
96.Pp
97.Fn getutxuser
98searches for the next entry in the database whose
99.Fa ut_type
100has a value of
101.Dv USER_PROCESS
102and whose
103.Fa ut_user
104is equal to
105.Fa user .
106.Pp
107.Fn pututxline
108adds the argument
109.Xr utmpx 5
110entry line to the accounting database, replacing a previous entry for
111the same user if it exists.
112.Pp
113By default the aforementioned functions work on the default
114.Xr utmpx 5
115database. The function
116.Fn setutxdb
117allows to change the database type being operated on, as well
118as changing the path to that database.
119The first parameter
120.Ar db
121can be
122.Dv UTX_DB_UTMPX
123or
124.Dv UTX_DB_WTMPX
125and specifies which database to open. If
126.Ar fname
127is
128.Dv NULL
129the default path for each of these is used as described in
130.Xr utmpx 5
131and
132.Xr wtmpx 5 .
133Otherwise the path specified in
134.Ar fname
135is used as the database.
136.Ss The utmpx structure
137The
138.Nm utmpx
139structure has the following definition:
140.Bd -literal
141struct utmpx {
142        char ut_name[_UTX_USERSIZE];    /* login name */
143        char ut_id[_UTX_IDSIZE];        /* inittab id */
144        char ut_line[_UTX_LINESIZE];    /* tty name */
145        char ut_host[_UTX_HOSTSIZE];    /* host name */
146        uint16_t ut_session;            /* session id used for windowing */
147        short ut_type;                  /* type of this entry */
148        pid_t ut_pid;                   /* process id creating the entry */
149        struct {
150                uint16_t e_termination; /* process termination signal */
151                uint16_t e_exit;        /* process exit status */
152        } ut_exit;
153        struct sockaddr_storage ut_ss;  /* address where entry was made from */
154        struct timeval ut_tv;           /* time entry was created */
155        uint32_t ut_pad[10];            /* reserved for future use */
156};
157.Ed
158.Pp
159Valid entries for
160.Fa ut_type
161are:
162.Bl -tag -width LOGIN_PROCESSXX -compact -offset indent
163.It Dv BOOT_TIME
164Time of a system boot.
165.It Dv DEAD_PROCESS
166A session leader exited.
167.It Dv EMPTY
168No valid user accounting information.
169.It Dv INIT_PROCESS
170A process spawned by
171.Xr init 8 .
172.It Dv LOGIN_PROCESS
173The session leader of a logged-in user.
174.It Dv NEW_TIME
175Time after system clock change.
176.It Dv OLD_TIME
177Time before system clock change.
178.It Dv RUN_LVL
179Run level.
180Provided for compatibility, not used on
181.Nx .
182.It Dv USER_PROCESS
183A user process.
184.El
185.Sh RETURN VALUES
186.Fn getutxent
187returns the next entry, or
188.Dv NULL
189on failure (end of database or problems reading from the database).
190.Fn getutxid
191and
192.Fn getutxline
193return the matching structure on success, or
194.Dv NULL
195if no match was found.
196.Fn pututxline
197returns the structure that was successfully written, or
198.Dv NULL .
199.Fn setutxdb
200returns
201.Dv 0
202on success. Otherwise a negative value is returned and the global
203variable
204.Va errno
205is set to indicate the error.
