ll2_new_context(3)

ll2_new_context3

Allocates context which defines the lastlog2 environment.

Usage

#include <lastlog2.h>

*ll2_context * ll2_new_context(const char *db_path);

Overview

Defines lastlog2 context e.g. database file, which will be used for any other lastlog2 call. If db_path is NULL, the default path defined in LL2_DEFAULT_DATABASE will be taken.

const   char *db_path = "/var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db";
ll2_context *context = ll2_new_context(db_path);

Return value

Returns context which will be used for all other lastlog2 library calls. This context should be released with ll2_unref_context when it is not needed anymore. Returns NULL on an error.
