utmp exit_status

[Tom Lowrie]

When using fwtmp to view a specific /etc/utmp entry, I
see an exit_status of 0040 0022. Where are these values
defined? The corresponding text values, that is.

When I use 'who -d', the exit_status shows as term=32 and
exit=18. How is 'who -d' converting the 0040 and 0022 values
to 32 and 18? Is there a table somewhere?

Am I correct in using /usr/include/sys/status.h to view
text descriptions for term=value and /usr/include/errno.h
for exit=value?

Thanks,

Tom

I have no specific info about these programs, but I notice that
0040 octal = 32 decimal
0022 octal = 18 decimal

Guess my PDP-11 background is showing.

These may be "exit" or "return" codes - defined in
/usr/include/sys/errno.h


#define EPIPE 32 /* Broken pipe */

Jason,

I checked hex only; guess my lack of a PDP-11 background is showing.
I'll know better next time. Thanks.

That answers one question. I'm sure some GURU out there
knows the answers to the rest. Jump in anytime.
