- Use queue(3) -- not some homegrown implementation of linked lists.
- Rename structures to _entry, as they are entries in the linked list --
not the lists themselves.
- Don't store entire copies of struct utmpx in utmpx_entry, but only the
members we're interested in. Large fields such as hostnames are not
needed during the execution of the program.
- Give structure members useful names, instead of `name'.
- While there, use struct timevals instead of time_t's internally. This
is not strictly useful, but while we're at it...
- Mark stuff static.
- Add missing const keywords.
- Remove unneeded prototypes.
- Remove workaround for sparc64-specific utmp problems. These don't
apply to utmpx.
- Don't discard entries when timestamps are not monotone. This shouldn't
ever happen with utmpx, but discarding them is a bit too harsh.
- Remove debug code. We nowadays have `getent utmpx', which can be used
to analyze logfiles in depth.
- Use proper uppercasing/periods in comments.
- Print output of `ac -p' sorted alphabetically, instead of first
occurrence.
- Properly check against pts/* instead of tty[PQRSpqrs]* to determine
whether a TTY is a pseudo-terminal.
MFC after: 1 month
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
