Finally document the interfaces found in libutil. While being here, also add the missing declaration of forkpty() to libutil.h. Btw., the calling interface for login(3) is crude. Some better abstraction is needed, perhaps similar to logwtmp(3). 2.2 candidate, but i'll wait for the spelling police first. :)

tries to append a new record to the
.Xr wtmp 5
file, using the provided arguments
.Ar line ,
.Ar name ,
and
.Ar host ,
and the current time.
.Pp
If the length of the hostname string
.Ar host
is longer than what would fit into the hostname field of the
.Xr wtmp 5
file, it will first be attempted to convert it into a numerical IP
address using
.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
Failing this, the hostname will be recorded as
.Qq invalid hostname .
.Pp
The calling process must have permission to write to both files.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
None.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
