	42	.Nm logwtmp
	43	.Nd login utility functions (DEPRECATED)
	44	.Sh SYNOPSIS
	45	.Fd #include <util.h>
	46	.Ft void
	47	.Fn login "struct utmp *ut"
	48	.Ft int
	49	.Fn logout "const char *line"
	50	.Ft void
	51	.Fn logwtmp "const char line" "const char name" "const char *host"
	52	.Sh DESCRIPTION
	53	The
	54	.Fn login ,
	55	.Fn logout ,
	56	and
	57	.Fn logwtmp
	58	functions are
	59	.Sy DEPRECATED ;
	60	use
	61	.Xr pututxline 3
	62	instead.
	63	.Pp
	64	These functions operate on the database of current users in
	65	.Pa /var/run/utmpx
	66	and the system log file.
	67	Superuser permission is required.
	68	.Pp
	69	The
	70	.Fn login
	71	function updates the
	72	.Pa /var/run/utmpx
	73	files with user information contained in
	74	.Fa ut
	75	(after converting to a struct utmpx, as described in
	76	.Xr pututxline 3 ) .
	77	.Pp
	78	The
	79	.Fn logout
	80	function removes the entry from
	81	.Pa /var/run/utmpx
	82	corresponding to the device
	83	.Fa line .
	84	.Pp
	85	The
	86	.Fn logwtmp
	87	function adds an entry to
	88	the system log file.
	89	Since
	90	.Fn login
	91	will add the appropriate entry
	92	during a login,
	93	.Fn logwtmp
	94	is usually used for logouts.
	95	.Sh RETURN VALUES
	96	.Fn logout
	97	returns non-zero if it was able to find and delete an entry for
	98	.Fa line ,
	99	and zero if there is no entry for
	100	.Fa line
	101	in
	102	.Pa /var/run/utmpx .
	103	However, there is no error indication due to lack of permissions.
