UPDWTMP(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                UPDWTMP(3)
NAME
       updwtmp, logwtmp - append an entry to the wtmp file
SYNOPSIS
       #include <utmp.h>
       void updwtmp(const char *wtmp_file, const struct utmp *ut);
       void logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);
       For logwtmp(), link with -lutil.
DESCRIPTION
       updwtmp() appends the utmp structure ut to the wtmp file.
       logwtmp()  constructs  a utmp structure using line, name, host, current
       time and current process ID.  Then it calls  updwtmp()  to  append  the
       structure to the wtmp file.
FILES
       /var/log/wtmp
              database of past user logins

CONFORMING TO
       Not in POSIX.1.  Present on Solaris, NetBSD, and perhaps other systems.
NOTES
       For consistency with the other "utmpx"  functions  (see  getutxent(3)),
       glibc provides (since version 2.1):
           #include <utmpx.h>
           void updwtmpx (const char *wtmpx_file, const struct utmpx *utx);
       This  function performs the same task as updwtmp(), but differs in that
       it takes a utmpx structure as its last argument.
