@(#)acct.5 4.1 (Berkeley) 05/15/85

.AT 3 acct - execution accounting file #include <sys/acct.h> Acct (2) causes entries to be made into an accounting file for each process that terminates. The accounting file is a sequence of entries whose layout, as defined by the include file is:

.so  /usr/include/sys/acct.h

If the process does an exec (2), the first 10 characters of the filename appear in ac_comm. The accounting flag contains bits indicating whether exec (2) was ever accomplished, and whether the process ever had super-user privileges.
