LOGINX(3)             DragonFly Library Functions Manual             LOGINX(3)

NAME
     loginx, logoutx, logwtmpx -- login utility functions

LIBRARY
     System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <libutil.h>

     void
     loginx(const struct utmpx *ut);

     int
     logoutx(const char *line, int status, int type);

     void
     logwtmpx(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host,
         int status, int type);

DESCRIPTION
     The loginx(), logoutx(), and logwtmpx() operate on the utmpx(5) database
     of currently logged in users, and the wtmpx(5) database of logins and
     logouts.

     The loginx() function updates the /var/run/utmpx and /var/log/wtmpx data-
     bases with the information from ut.

     logoutx() updates the entry corresponding to line with the type and sta-
     tus from type and status.

     logwtmpx() writes an entry filled with data from line, name, host,
     status, and type to the wtmpx(5) database.

RETURN VALUES
     logoutx() returns 1 on success, and 0 if no corresponding entry was
     found.
