Nd user accounting database
Sh SYNOPSIS
In utmpx.h
Sh DESCRIPTION
In contrast to

and

the extended databases in

and
Pa wtmpx
reserve more space for logging hostnames, and also
information on a process' ID, termination signal and exit status.
Pp
The
In utmpx.h
header defines the structures and functions for logging user.
Currently logged in users are tracked in
Pa /var/run/utmpx ,
a list of all logins and logouts, as well as all shutdowns, reboots
and date changes, is kept in
Pa /var/log/wtmpx ,
and the last login of each user is noted in
Pa /var/log/lastlogx .
Pp
The interface to the
Nm utmpx
file is described in
Xr getutxent 3 .
Pp
The
Nm wtmpx
file can grow rapidly on busy systems, and is normally rotated with
Xr newsyslog 8 .
Pp
In the event of a date change, a shutdown, or a reboot, the following
items are logged in the
Nm wtmpx
file:
Bl -tag -width shutdownxx -compact -offset indent
It Li date
The system time has been manually or automatically updated by
Xr date 1 .
The command name
Em date
