NAME
utmp-conv - convert UTMP files
SYNOPSIS
utmp-conv [-w] [-oFR] [-n] [-d] [-u file]
DESCRIPTION
This program converts old (libc5 and libc4) type utmp files into new (libc6) type ones and vice versa. By default it just read the file. Use -w option to really do something.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
Write converted utmp file. Convert new to old format. Convert olkd to new format (this is the default action). Turn on debugging. This will print each utmp entry to stdout while it is read or written. Use file instead of the system default path as utmp file (this is very useful for debugging).
BUGS
This is a first experimental version. There may be a lot of problems.
utmp-conv fails without notice if it cannot write the utmp file.
