Examples

See the examples subdirectory.

Read and display all non-null entries in the lastlog

require 'solaris/lastlog'

io = File.open('/var/adm/lastlog', 'r')
reader = Solaris::Lastlog.new(:endian => :little)
uid = 0
while !io.eof? do
  record = reader.read(io)
  unless record.ll_time.zero?
    time = Time.at(record.ll_time)
    puts "%-5s %s %-16s %-8s" % [uid, time, record.ll_host, record.ll_line]
  end
  uid += 1
end

require 'solaris/lastlog'

io = File.open('/var/adm/lastlog', 'r')
reader = Solaris::Lastlog.new(:endian => :little)
first_record = true
while !io.eof? do
  record = reader.read(io)
  if first_record
    first_record = false
    record.ll_time = Time.now.to_i
  end
  print record.to_binary_s
end
