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.
