linux系统编程：自己动手写一个who命令

who命令的作用用于显示当前有哪些用户登录到系统。

这个命令执行的原理是读取了系统上utmp文件中记录的所有登录信息，直接显示出来的

utmp文件在哪里呢？

man who的时候，在手册下面有这么一段说明：意思就是不指定文件参数，那么读取的就是/var/run/utmp，到底是不是，验证下

If FILE is not specified, use /var/run/utmp.  /var/log/wtmp as FILE  is
       common.   If  ARG1  ARG2  given, -m presumed: 'am i' or 'mom likes' are
       usual.

当我指定file参数为/var/run/utmp或者省略这个参数的时候，结果都是一样， 当我用一个错误的文件时，没有任何结果，从这里可以推断，who命令确实从/var/run/utmp中读取用户登录的信息

ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ who
ghostwu  tty7         2018-01-08 09:09 (:0)
ghostwu  pts/18       2018-01-08 12:59 (:0)
ghostwu  pts/19       2018-01-08 13:00 (:0)
ghostwu  pts/20       2018-01-08 13:03 (:0)
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ who -b
         system boot  2018-01-08 09:08
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ who -b /var/run/utmp 
         system boot  2018-01-08 09:08
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ who -b /var/run/utmp2
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ who -b /var/run/utmp3

那么utmp到底在哪里？

利用man -k utmp 查找所有的可能：    推断--->  utmp (5) - login records  这里的可能性比较大，描述说，这里是记录登录信息的

ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ man -k utmp
endutent (3)         - access utmp file entries
endutxent (3)        - access utmp file entries
getutent (3)         - access utmp file entries
getutent_r (3)       - access utmp file entries
getutid (3)          - access utmp file entries
getutid_r (3)        - access utmp file entries
getutline (3)        - access utmp file entries
getutline_r (3)      - access utmp file entries
getutmp (3)          - copy utmp structure to utmpx, and vice versa
getutmpx (3)         - copy utmp structure to utmpx, and vice versa
getutxent (3)        - access utmp file entries
getutxid (3)         - access utmp file entries
getutxline (3)       - access utmp file entries
login (3)            - write utmp and wtmp entries
logout (3)           - write utmp and wtmp entries
pututline (3)        - access utmp file entries
pututxline (3)       - access utmp file entries
sessreg (1)          - manage utmpx/wtmpx entries for non-init clients
setutent (3)         - access utmp file entries
setutxent (3)        - access utmp file entries
systemd-update-utmp (8) - Write audit and utmp updates at bootup, runlevel ch...
systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service (8) - Write audit and utmp updates at bo...
systemd-update-utmp.service (8) - Write audit and utmp updates at bootup, run...
utmp (5)             - login records
utmpdump (1)         - dump UTMP and WTMP files in raw format
utmpname (3)         - access utmp file entries
utmpx (5)            - login records
utmpxname (3)        - access utmp file entries

接下来，我们去 man 5 utmp 看下，会发现有这么一段提示：

The file is a sequence of utmp structures, declared as follows in  (note that this
       is only one of several definitions around; details depend on the version of libc):

意思是utmp文件的信息是一系列utmp结构体数据, 这个结构体定义在utmp.h文件中，  每个linux发行版可能不一样.

接下来，我用强大的find命令查找到了2个目标：

ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ find /usr/include -name "utmp.h"
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/utmp.h
/usr/include/utmp.h

结构体的定义就在这个文件中( /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/utmp.h  )

这里有两个宏要注意下( ut_time和UTMP_FILE ), 下面的程序会用到

#ifndef _NO_UT_TIME
/* We have a problem here: `ut_time' is also used otherwise.  Define
   _NO_UT_TIME if the compiler complains.  */
# define ut_time    ut_tv.tv_sec
#endif

ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ grep "UTMP_FILE" /usr/include/utmp.h 
#define UTMP_FILE    _PATH_UTMP
#define UTMP_FILENAME    _PATH_UTMP
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ grep "_PATH_UTMP" /usr/include/utmp.h
#define UTMP_FILE    _PATH_UTMP
#define UTMP_FILENAME    _PATH_UTMP
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ grep "_PATH_UTMP" /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/utmp.h 
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$ grep "_PATH_UTMP" /usr/include/*.h
/usr/include/paths.h:#define    _PATH_UTMP    "/var/run/utmp"
/usr/include/utmp.h:#define UTMP_FILE    _PATH_UTMP
/usr/include/utmp.h:#define UTMP_FILENAME    _PATH_UTMP
/usr/include/utmpx.h:# define UTMPX_FILE    _PATH_UTMPX
/usr/include/utmpx.h:# define UTMPX_FILENAME    _PATH_UTMPX
ghostwu@ubuntu:~$

UTMP_FILE的查找思路： 首先grep两个目录下面的文件utmp.h，在/usr/include/utmp.h找到一个宏定义 _PATH_UTMP，下一步就是确定 _PATH_UTMP到底是什么，利用grep "_PATH_UTMP" /usr/include/*.h

最终在paths.h头文件中，发现了他的真面目

who命令书写思路：

1）从/var/run/utmp读取文件，每次读取一个struct utmp结构体这么大，如果长度每次都有这么大，继续读取

2）格式化4个信息：用户名，主机，地址，时间

3）只打印当前活动的用户(当前登录的用户)

4）格式化时间( 小时，分钟，秒， >10的补0, <10的原样返回 )
