64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65These functions provide access to the
66.Xr utmpx 5
67user accounting database.
68.Pp
69.Fn getutxent
70reads the next entry from the database;
71if the database was not yet open, it also opens it.
72.Fn setutxent
73resets the database, so that the next
74.Fn getutxent
75call will get the first entry.
76.Fn endutxent
77closes the database.
78.Pp
79.Fn getutxid
80returns the next entry of the type specified in its argument's
81.Va ut_type
82field, or
83.Dv NULL
84if none is found.
85.Fn getutxline
86returns the next
87.Dv LOGIN_PROCESS
88or
89.Dv USER_PROCESS
90entry which has the same name as specified in the
91.Va ut_line
92field, or
93.Dv NULL
94if no match is found.
95.Pp
96.Fn pututxline
97adds the argument
98.Xr utmpx 5
99entry line to the accounting database, replacing a previous entry for
100the same user if it exists.
101.Ss The utmpx structure
102The
