System Calls acct(2)
NAME
acct - enable or disable process accounting
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int acct(const char *path);
DESCRIPTION
The acct() function enables or disables the system process
accounting routine. If the routine is enabled, an accounting
record will be written in an accounting file for each pro-
cess that terminates. The termination of a process can be
caused by either an exit(2) call or a signal(3C)). The
effective user ID of the process calling acct() must have
the appropriate privileges.
The path argument points to the pathname of the accounting
file, whose file format is described on the acct.h(3HEAD)
manual page.
The accounting routine is enabled if path is non-zero and no
errors occur during the function. It is disabled if path is
(char *)NULL and no errors occur during the function.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The acct() function will fail if:
EACCES The file named by path is not an
ordinary file.
EBUSY An attempt is being made to enable
accounting using the same file that
is currently being used.
EFAULT The path argument points to an ille-
gal address.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encoun-
tered in translating path.
