NAME

     loginx, logoutx, logwtmpx -- login utility functions

LIBRARY

     System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <util.h>

     void
     loginx(const struct utmpx *ut);

     int
     logoutx(const char *line, int status, int type);

     void
     logwtmpx(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host, int status, int type);

DESCRIPTION

     The loginx(), logoutx(), and logwtmpx() operate on the utmpx(5) database of currently logged in users, and the wtmpx(5) database of logins
     and logouts.

     The loginx() function updates the /var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx databases with the information from ut.

     logoutx() updates the entry corresponding to line with the type and status from type and status.

     logwtmpx() writes an entry filled with data from line, name, host, status, and type to the wtmpx(5) database.

RETURN VALUES

     logoutx() returns 1 on success, and 0 if no corresponding entry was found.

NAME

     login, logout, logwtmp -- login utility functions (DEPRECATED)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <util.h>

     void
     login(struct utmp *ut);

     int
     logout(const char *line);

     void
     logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);

DESCRIPTION

     The login(), logout(), and logwtmp() functions are DEPRECATED; use pututxline(3) instead.

     These functions operate on the database of current users in /var/run/utmpx and the system log file.  Superuser permission is required.

     The login() function updates the /var/run/utmpx files with user information contained in ut (after converting to a struct utmpx, as described
     in pututxline(3)).

     The logout() function removes the entry from /var/run/utmpx corresponding to the device line.

     The logwtmp() function adds an entry to the system log file.  Since login() will add the appropriate entry during a login, logwtmp() is usu-
     ally used for logouts.

RETURN VALUES

     logout() returns non-zero if it was able to find and delete an entry for line, and zero if there is no entry for line in /var/run/utmpx.
     However, there is no error indication due to lack of permissions.
