Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
While implementing a tool to import lastlog entries into utmpx, I
noticed lastlogin doesn't allow custom database files to be opened. Add
a -f switch to support this. Also, add -r and -t similar to ls(1),
ruptime(1), etc. where you can sort entries by timestamp and reverse
them. This allows you to spot active/idle users more easily.
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.
