According to the manpage, the entries have to be sorted by uid. This is
no longer possible, since our utmpx implementation is completely unaware
of user IDs. You can safely add entries for multiple users sharing the
same uid.
Make the output less random by sorting everything by name.
While there, fix a bug I introduced previously. We must reopen the
database for each username passed on the command line. We must rewind
the database and search from the beginning.
I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.
- Only set the fields in the ulog_utmpx structure that are valid for the
command in question. This means that strings like "shutdown" or "~"
are not visible to the user anymore.
- Rename UTXF_* to UTXI_*, indicating the indexation, instead of using
the `antique' filename. If we ever get rid of utmp, it makes little
sense calling it by its old name.
time_to_xxx() and xxx_to_time() functions. e.g. _time_to_xxx()
instead of time_to_xxx(), to make it more obvious that these are
stopgap functions & placemarkers and not meant to create a defacto
standard. They will eventually be replaced when a real standard
comes out of committee.
