utmpdump
UTMPDUMP(1) System Administration UTMPDUMP(1)NAME
utmpdump - dump UTMP and WTMP files in raw format
SYNOPSIS
utmpdump [-frh] [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
utmpdump is a simple program to dump UTMP and WTMP files in raw format, so they can be examined. utmpdump eads from stdin unless a file-
name is passed.
OPTIONS -f, --follow
Output appended data as the file grows.
-r, --reverse
Undump, write back edited login information into utmp or wtmp files.
-h, --help
Print a help text and exit.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
NOTES
utmpdump can be useful in cases of corrupted utmp or wtmp entries. It can dump out utmp/wtmp to an ASCII file, then that file can be
edited to remove bogus entries and reintegrated, using
utmpdump -r < ascii_file > wtmp
but be warned as utmpdump was written for debugging purpose only.
BUGS
You may not use the option -r as the format for the utmp/wtmp files strongly depends on the input format. This tool was not written for
normal use but for debugging.
