    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.0.2
    Test Identification CAPIbase/getutxline 1
    Problem Summary PG4U.00020 The test fails because the ordering of lines in the accounting database is not mandated by the spec.
    Problem Text
    The test suite assumes that a write of the utmpx structure into the file
    at a given location is equivalent to pututline(). The XSH4.2 specification
    does not include a description of file format. It also does not describe the
    ordering of records or the indexing alogrithm. Without such information
    the assumption that the test suite is makeing concerning these items
    and the ability of the test suite to write records directly into the
    database is invalid.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: getutxline

    TEST PURPOSE #1
    A successful call to struct utmpx
    *getutxline(const struct utmpx *line) shall search
    forward from the current point in the user accounting database
    until it finds an entry of the type LOGIN_PROCESS or
    USER_PROCESS which has a ut_line value matching that
    in the utmpx structure pointed to by line and return a
    pointer to a utmpx structure containing a copy of the
    entry.
    PREP: Update the user accounting database with entries for known values
    PREP: Reset to the start of the database
    TEST: getutxline() returns the correct entry from the
    database
    ERROR: getutxline() could not retrieve the entry
    matching the input
    1 FAIL
