+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The kernel maintains the following
+.Fa acct
+information structure for all
+processes.
+If a process terminates, and accounting is enabled,
+the kernel calls the
+.Xr acct 2
+function call to prepare and append the record
+to the accounting file.

+ * The first byte is always zero.
+ * Time units are microseconds.

+If a terminated process was created by an
+.Xr execve 2 ,
+the name of the executed file (at most ten characters of it)
+is saved in the field
+.Fa ac_comm
+and its status is saved by setting one of more of the following flags in
+.Fa ac_flag :
+.Dv AFORK ,
+.Dv ACOMPAT ,
+.Dv ACORE
+and
+.Dv ASIG .
+.Dv ASU
+is no longer supported.
+.Dv ANVER
+is always set in the above structure.
