ACCT(5)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              ACCT(5)



NAME
     acct - execution accounting file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/acct.h>

DESCRIPTION
     _A_c_c_t(2) causes entries to be made into an accounting file
     for each process that terminates.  The accounting file is a
     sequence of entries whose layout, as defined by the include
     file is:

     /*      acct.h  4.1            11/9/80*/

     /*
      * Accounting structures
      */

     typedef unsigned short comp_t; /* "floating pt": 3 bits base 8 exp, 13 bits fraction */
     struct  acct
     {
             char    ac_comm[10];   /* Accounting command name */
             comp_t  ac_utime;      /* Accounting user time */
             comp_t  ac_stime;      /* Accounting system time */
             comp_t  ac_etime;      /* Accounting elapsed time */
             time_t  ac_btime;      /* Beginning time */
             short   ac_uid;        /* Accounting user ID */
             short   ac_gid;        /* Accounting group ID */
             short   ac_mem;        /* average memory usage */
             comp_t  ac_io;         /* number of disk IO blocks */
             dev_t   ac_tty;        /* control typewriter */
             char    ac_flag;       /* Accounting flag */
     };

     extern  struct  acct           acctbuf;
     extern  struct  inode          *acctp;/* inode of accounting file */

     #define AFORK   01             /* has executed fork, but no exec */
     #define ASU     02             /* used super-user privileges */

     If the process does an _e_x_e_c(2), the first 10 characters of
     the filename appear in _a_c__c_o_m_m. The accounting flag contains
     bits indicating whether _e_x_e_c(2) was ever accomplished, and
     whether the process ever had super-user privileges.
