utmp log file, IBM AIX version: C# parsing library

This spec can be used to parse utmp, wtmp and other similar as created by IBM AIX.

KS implementation details

License: CC0-1.0

This page hosts a formal specification of utmp log file, IBM AIX version using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.

Code

Parse a local file and get structure in memory:

var data = AixUtmp.FromFile("path/to/local/file.bin");

Or parse structure from a byte array:

byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new AixUtmp(new KaitaiStream(someArray));

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:

data.Records // => get records
