UTMPDUMP(1)                           System Administration                           UTMPDUMP(1)



NAME
       utmpdump - dump UTMP and WTMP files in raw format

SYNOPSIS
       utmpdump [-frh] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION
       utmpdump  is  a  simple  program to dump UTMP and WTMP files in raw format, so they can be
       examined.  utmpdump eads from stdin unless a filename is passed.

OPTIONS
       -f, --follow
              Output appended data as the file grows.

       -r, --reverse
              Undump, write back edited login information into utmp or wtmp files.

       -h, --help
              Print a help text and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.

NOTES
       utmpdump can be useful in cases of corrupted utmp  or  wtmp  entries.   It  can  dump  out
       utmp/wtmp to an ASCII file, then that file can be edited to remove bogus entries and rein-
       tegrated, using

              utmpdump -r < ascii_file > wtmp

       but be warned as utmpdump was written for debugging purpose only.

BUGS
       You may not use the option -r as the format for the utmp/wtmp files  strongly  depends  on
       the input format.  This tool was not written for normal use but for debugging.
