/* dump_utmpx.c

   Display the contents of the utmp-style file named on the command line.

   This version of the program differs from that which appears in the book in
   that it prints extra information from each utmpx record.

   This program is Linux-specific.

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
