ulog_logout_pseudo( int fd);
DESCRIPTION
The ulog_login() and ulog_login_pseudo() functions register a login session on a TTY. The ulog_login() function adds an entry for TTY line and username user. The ulog_login_pseudo() function uses file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device fd to determine the TTY name, while using the username belonging to the real user ID of the calling process. The optional host argument denotes a remote hostname, in case the login session is provided by a network service.The ulog_logout() and ulog_logout_pseudo() functions mark the previously registered login session as being terminated.
Because the line and user arguments of ulog_login() and ulog_logout() cannot be trusted, these functions require administrative privileges. The ulog_login_pseudo() and ulog_logout_pseudo() functions spawn a privileged process to perform the actual logging.
