utmp log file, IBM AIX version: Ruby 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 Ruby generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Ruby runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The Ruby runtime library can be installed from RubyGems:

gem install kaitai-struct

Code

Parse a local file and get structure in memory:

data = AixUtmp.from_file("path/to/local/file.bin")

Or parse structure from a string of bytes:

bytes = "\x00\x01\x02..."
data = AixUtmp.new(Kaitai::Struct::Stream.new(bytes))

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.records # => get records

Ruby source code to parse utmp log file, IBM AIX version

aix_utmp.rb

# This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild

require 'kaitai/struct/struct'

unless Gem::Version.new(Kaitai::Struct::VERSION) >= Gem::Version.new('0.9')
  raise "Incompatible Kaitai Struct Ruby API: 0.9 or later is required, but you have #{Kaitai::Struct::VERSION}"
end
