NAME
      utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats
 


SYNOPSIS
      #include <utmpx.h>
      /var/adm/utmpx
      /var/adm/wtmpx
 


DESCRIPTION
      The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database  files  that
      have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.
 
      The utmpx  database  contains  user  access  and  accounting
      information  for  commands  such  as  who(1),  write(1), and
      login(1). The wtmpx database contains the  history  of  user
      access and accounting information for the  utmpx database.
 
 USAGE
      Applications should not access these databases directly, but
      should  use  the  functions  described  on the getutxent(3C)
      manual page to interact with the utmpx and  wtmpx  databases
      to ensure that they are maintained consistently.
