ACCT(T)                                                   ACCT(T)



NAME
       acct - execution accounting file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/acct.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  kernel  maintains an accounting information structure
       for all processes. If a process terminates, and accounting
       is  enabled, the kernel calls the acct(t) function to pre-
       pare, and then append, a record for this  process  to  the
       accounting  file.  The accounting structure struct acct is
       also described in the file /usr/include/linux/acct.h.

SEE ALSO
