# utmp-rs
[](https://crates.io/crates/utmp-rs)
[](https://docs.rs/utmp-rs)
A Rust crate for parsing `utmp` files like `/var/run/utmp` and `/var/log/wtmp`.
## Usage
Simplest way is to use `parse_from_*` functions,
which returns a `Vec<UtmpEntry>` on success:
```rust
let entries = utmp_rs::parse_from_path("/var/run/utmp")?;
// ...
```
If you don't need to collect them all,
`UtmpParser` can be used as an iterator:
```rust
use utmp_rs::UtmpParser;
for entry in UtmpParser::from_path("/var/run/utmp")? {
let entry = entry?;
// ...
}
```
All the `parse_from_*` functions as well as `UtmpParser` parse `utmp` file
based on the native format for the target platform.
If cross-platform parsing is needed,
`Utmp32Parser` or `Utmp64Parser` can be used instead of `UtmpParser`.
