UPDWTMP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual UPDWTMP(3)
NAME
updwtmp, logwtmp - append an entry to the wtmp file
SYNOPSIS
#include <utmp.h>
void updwtmp(const char *wtmp_file, const struct utmp *ut);
void logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);
For logwtmp(), link with -lutil.
DESCRIPTION
updwtmp() appends the utmp structure ut to the wtmp file.
logwtmp() constructs a utmp structure using line, name, host, current time and current
process ID. Then it calls updwtmp() to append the structure to the wtmp file.
FILES
/var/log/wtmp
database of past user logins
CONFORMING TO
Not in POSIX.1-2001. Present on Solaris, NetBSD, and perhaps other systems.
NOTES
For consistency with the other "utmpx" functions (see getutxent(3)), glibc provides (since
version 2.1):
#include <utmpx.h>
void updwtmpx (const char *wtmpx_file, const struct utmpx *utx);
This function performs the same task as updwtmp(), but differs in that it takes a utmpx
structure as its last argument.
