Because getutxent also matches the typical get*ent format of library routines, I thought it would be a good idea to teach it how to read utmpx databases. getent(1) just gives a raw dump, which is very useful when debugging problems related to parsing/logging.

|
.Bl -column ".Li netgroup" -offset indent -compact
|
|
.Sy Database Ta Sy Display format
|

If one or more
|
|
.Ar key

.Dq Li passwd
|
|
supports a numeric UID or user name;

|
|
numeric port/protocol name.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ar key
|
|
is provided and
|
|
.Ar database
|
|
supports enumeration, all entries for
|
|
.Ar database
|
|
will be retrieved using the appropriate enumeration function and printed.
|
|
