Usage

#include <lastlog2.h>

int ll2_remove_entry (struct ll2_context *context, const char *user, char **error);

Overview

Removes all database entries, defined in context, with the user name user. If context is NULL, the default database, defined in LL2_DEFAULT_DATABASE, will be taken.

char    *error = NULL;
const   char *user = "root";
int ret = ll2_remove_entry (NULL, user, &error);

Return value

Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM or -1 on other failure. error contains an error string if the return value is -1. error is not guaranteed to contain an error string, could also be NULL. error should be freed by the caller.
