SETUTXENT(3POSIX)

💖 SETUTXENT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to setutxent — page 3POSIX of the POSIX Programmer's Manual 🎀. Yeah so this whole thing lives in the POSIX manual, which means it's the spec version, not necessarily the Linux version. Keep reading, I got you 🫶

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

so like… real talk 💀 this is the POSIX-flavored page. Linux might do its own lil thing (go check the Linux page, fr fr), or honestly Linux might not even have it. vibe check before you commit, iykyk.
