NAME
     wtmp - login records

SYNOPSIS
     #include <utmp.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The wtmp file records all logins and logouts.  A null user
     name indicates a logout on the associated terminal.
     Furthermore, the terminal name ~ indicates that the system
     was rebooted at the indicated time; the adjacent pair of
     entries with terminal names ^|^ and } indicate the system-
     maintained time just before and just after a date(1) command
     has changed the system's idea of the time.

     The wtmp file is maintained by login(1) and init(8).
     Neither of these programs creates the file, so if wtmp is
     removed record-keeping is turned off.

FILES
     /etc/utmp      Current state of the machine

     /usr/adm/wtmp  Record of /etc/utmp
