Sys::Utmp(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sys::Utmp(3pm) NAME
Sys::Utmp - Object(ish) Interface to UTMP files. SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Utmp; my $utmp = Sys::Utmp->new(); while ( my $utent = $utmp->getutent() ) { if ( $utent->user_process ) { print $utent->ut_user," "; } } $utmp->endutent; See also examples/pwho in the distribution directory. DESCRIPTION
Sys::Utmp provides a vaguely object oriented interface to the Unix user accounting file ( sometimes /etc/utmp or /var/run/utmp). Whilst it would prefer to use the getutent() function from the systems C libraries it will attempt to provide its own if they are missing. This may not be the module that you are looking for - there is a User::Utmp which provides a different procedural interface and may well be more complete for your purposes. METHODS new The constructor of the class. Arguments may be provided in Key => Value pairs : it currently takes one argument 'Filename' which will set the file which is to be used in place of that defined in _PATH_UTMP. getutent Iterates of the records in the utmp file returning a Sys::Utmp::Utent object for each record in turn - the methods that are available on these objects are descrived in the Sys::Utmp::Utent documentation. If called in a list context it will return a list containing the elements of th Utent entry rather than an object. If the import flag ':fields' is used then constants defining the indexes into this list will be defined, these are uppercase versions of the methods described in Sys::Utmp::Utent. setutent Rewinds the file pointer on the utmp filehandle so repeated searches can be done. endutent Closes the file handle on the utmp file. utmpname SCALAR filename Sets the file that will be used in place of that defined in _PATH_UTMP. It is not defined what will happen if this is done between two calls to getutent() - it is recommended that endutent() is called first. EXPORT No methods or constants are exported by default. Exportable constants These constants are exportable under the tag ':constants': ACCOUNTING BOOT_TIME DEAD_PROCESS EMPTY INIT_PROCESS LOGIN_PROCESS NEW_TIME OLD_TIME RUN_LVL USER_PROCESS These are the values that will be found in the ut_type field of the Sys::Utmp::Utent object. These constants are exported under the tag ':fields' : UT_USER UT_ID UT_LINE UT_PID UT_TYPE UT_HOST UT_TIME These provide the indexes into the list returned when "getutent" is called in list context. BUGS
Probably. This module has been tested on Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD ,SCO Openserver and SCO UnixWare and found to work on those platforms. If you have difficulty building the module or it doesnt behave as expected then please contact the author including if appropriate your /usr/include/utmp.h AUTHOR
