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 struc-
      ture:
 
      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 pro-
      vided.
 
             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);
