utmp_update
—
update utmpx database
utmp_update
is a helper program to allow a user to
update his own utmpx(5) entry.
utmp_update
does some consistency checks on the
strvis(3)-encoded
utmpx_entry and then updates the
utmpx(5) database of currently
logged in users.
utmp_update
should not be called directly,
but will normally only be called by
pututxline(3) if the
privileges of the calling user are not sufficient.
utmp_update
returns 0 on success, and 1 if an error
occurred.
A utmp_update
utility appeared in
NetBSD 2.0.
