NAME

       getutmp, getutmpx - copy utmp structure to utmpx, and vice versa

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #define _GNU_SOURCE             /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <utmpx.h>

       void getutmp(const struct utmpx *ux, struct utmp *u);
       void getutmpx(const struct utmp *u, struct utmpx *ux);

DESCRIPTION

       The  getutmp()  function  copies the fields of the utmpx structure pointed to by ux to the
       corresponding fields of the utmp structure pointed  to  by  u.   The  getutmpx()  function
       performs the converse operation.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions do not return a value.

HISTORY

       glibc 2.1.1.  Solaris, NetBSD.

NOTES

       These  functions  exist  primarily for compatibility with other systems where the utmp and
       utmpx structures contain different fields, or the size of  corresponding  fields  differs.
       On Linux, the two structures contain the same fields, and the fields have the same sizes.
