+.Nm ulog_login ,
+.Nm ulog_login_pseudo ,
+.Nm ulog_logout ,

+.Nd manage user login records
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libulog
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In ulog.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn ulog_login "const char *line" "const char *user" "const char *host"
+.Ft void
+.Fn ulog_login_pseudo "int fd" "const char *host"
+.Ft void
+.Fn ulog_logout "const char *line"
+.Ft void
+.Fn ulog_logout_pseudo "int fd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn ulog_login
+and
+.Fn ulog_login_pseudo
+functions register a login session on a TTY.
+The
+.Fn ulog_login
+function adds an entry for TTY
+.Fa line
+and username
+.Fa user .
+The
+.Fn ulog_login_pseudo
+function uses file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device
+.Fa fd
+to determine the TTY name, while using the username belonging to the
+real user ID of the calling process.
+The optional
+.Fa host
+argument denotes a remote hostname, in case the login session is
+provided by a network service.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn ulog_logout
+and
+.Fn ulog_logout_pseudo
+functions mark the previously registered login session as being
+terminated.
+.Pp
+Because the
+.Fa line
+and
+.Fa user
+arguments of
+.Fn ulog_login
+and
+.Fn ulog_logout
+cannot be trusted, these functions require administrative privileges.
+The
+.Fn ulog_login_pseudo
+and
+.Fn ulog_logout_pseudo
+functions spawn a privileged process to perform the actual logging.

+.Xr ptsname 3 ,
+.Xr pututxline 3
+.Sh HISTORY
+These functions appeared in
