NAME
wtmp - user login history
DESCRIPTION
This file records all logins and logouts. Its format is ex-
actly like utmp(V) except that a null user name indicates a
logout on the associated typewriter. Furthermore, the type-
writer name `~' indicates that the system was rebooted at
the indicated time; the adjacent pair of entries with type-
writer names `|' and `}' indicate the system-maintained time
just before and just after a date command has changed the
system's idea of the time.
Wtmp is maintained by login(I) and init(VIII). Neither of
these programs creates the file, so if it is removed record-
keeping is turned off. It is summarized by ac(VIII).
