LL2_UPDATE_LOGIN_TIME(3)   Programmers Manual   LL2_UPDATE_LOGIN_TIME(3)

NAME         top

       ll2_update_login_time - Writes an *new* entry with updated login
       time.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <lastlog2.h>

       int ll2_update_login_time (struct ll2_context *context, const
       char *user, int64_t ll_time, char **error);

DESCRIPTION         top

       Writes an new entry to database, defined in context, for user
       user. Time is set by ll_time whereas the other values are taken
       from an already existing entry. If context is NULL, the default
       database, defined in LL2_DEFAULT_DATABASE, will be taken.

           char    *error = NULL;
           const   char *user = "root";
           int64_t login_time = time(0); // Get the system time;

           int ret = ll2_update_login_time (NULL, user, login_time, &error);

RETURN VALUE         top

       Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM or -1 on other failure. error
       contains an error string if the return value is -1. error is not
       guaranteed to contain an error string. It could also be NULL if
       the return value is -1. error should be freed by the caller.
