NAME
       utmpx.h - user accounting database definitions
SYNOPSIS
       #include <utmpx.h>
DESCRIPTION
       The  <utmpx.h>  header  shall  define  the  utmpx  structure that shall
       include at least the following members:

              char            ut_user[]  User login name.
              char            ut_id[]    Unspecified initialization process identifier.
              char            ut_line[]  Device name.
              pid_t           ut_pid     Process ID.
              short           ut_type    Type of entry.
              struct timeval  ut_tv      Time entry was made.
       The pid_t type  shall  be  defined  through  typedef  as  described  in
       <sys/types.h> .
       The timeval structure shall be defined as described in <sys/time.h> .
       Inclusion  of  the  <utmpx.h>  header may also make visible all symbols
       from <sys/time.h>.
       The following symbolic constants shall be defined  as  possible  values
       for the ut_type member of the utmpx structure:
       EMPTY  No valid user accounting information.
       BOOT_TIME
              Identifies time of system boot.
       OLD_TIME
              Identifies time when system clock changed.
       NEW_TIME
              Identifies time after system clock changed.
       USER_PROCESS
              Identifies a process.
       INIT_PROCESS
              Identifies a process spawned by the init process.
       LOGIN_PROCESS
              Identifies the session leader of a logged-in user.
       DEAD_PROCESS
              Identifies a session leader who has exited.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

              void          endutxent(void);
              struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
              struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *);
              struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *);
              struct utmpx *pututxline(const struct utmpx *);
              void          setutxent(void);
       The following sections are informative.
