       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       utmpx.h — user accounting database definitions

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <utmpx.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the utmpx structure that shall
       include at least the following members:

           char            ut_user[]  User login name.
           char            ut_id[]    Unspecified initialization process identifier.
           char            ut_line[]  Device name.
           pid_t           ut_pid     Process ID.
           short           ut_type    Type of entry.
           struct timeval  ut_tv      Time entry was made.

       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the pid_t type through typedef,
       as described in <sys/types.h>.

       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the timeval structure as
       described in <sys/time.h>.

       Inclusion of the <utmpx.h> header may also make visible all
       symbols from <sys/time.h>.

       The <utmpx.h> header shall define the following symbolic
       constants as possible values for the ut_type member of the utmpx
       structure:

       EMPTY         No valid user accounting information.

       BOOT_TIME     Identifies time of system boot.

       OLD_TIME      Identifies time when system clock changed.

       NEW_TIME      Identifies time after system clock changed.

       USER_PROCESS  Identifies a process.

       INIT_PROCESS  Identifies a process spawned by the init process.

       LOGIN_PROCESS Identifies the session leader of a logged-in user.

       DEAD_PROCESS  Identifies a session leader who has exited.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be
       defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

           void          endutxent(void);
           struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
           struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *);
           struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *);
           struct utmpx *pututxline(const struct utmpx *);
           void          setutxent(void);
