GETUTXENT(3POSIX)

✨ GETUTXENT(3POSIX) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual 💖 this is the page for GETUTXENT(3POSIX), and we're gonna get you fluent, no cap.

PROLOG 🦋

so like, real talk first: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual Linux behavior. or honestly? the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 vibe check your platform first, fr fr.

NAME 🎀

getutxent, getutxid, getutxline — get user accounting database entries ✨

SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <utmpx.h>

struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *id);
struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *line);

look at those three little icons 👑 three functions, one header, one struct utmpx * return type each. copy it exactly, don't freestyle the signatures, i'm begging 🙈

DESCRIPTION 💅

Refer to endutxent(). 🫶

that's it. that's the whole description. the docs are lowkey gatekeeping the deets over on the endutxent() page, so like… go read that one, bestie. iykyk. ✨
