llconvert(8)
NAME
  llconvert - Modify lastlog records from DIGITAL UNIX releases 4.0x and
  prior to new format

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/lbin/llconvert [-vnrp?h] input_file [output_file]

OPTIONS
  -r  Restore new format to old format.

  -v  Verbose. Display lines while converting.

  -n  Do not preserve contents of input file.

  -p  Formatted print only. Do not convert. (May be used with the -r option).

  -h (or -?)
      Display usage message.

DESCRIPTION
  The llconvert command reads records from the lastlog file, such as
  /var/adm/lastlog, and converts the record format to the updated struct
  lastlog format. If no output file is specified or if the output file path
  is identical to the input file path, llconvert makes a backup copy of the
  original input file using the following algorithm:

  filename.orig
      If filename.orig exists.

  filename.~n~
      Where n is a unique number.

  The llconvert command attempts to detect an input file that is in the wrong
  format (for example, input file is already a new format file). A warning
  message is issued in this case, but conversion continues.

RETURN VALUES
  0 (Zero)
      Success.

  -1  An error occurred.

EXAMPLES
   1.  To convert an old format accounting file to the new format:
	    llconvert /var/adm/lastlog.prev

       Upon completion of this command, /var/adm/lastlog.prev will have been
       converted to the new format. The original /var/adm/lastlog.prev is
       renamed to:

       /var/adm/lastlog.prev.orig

   2.  To convert a lastlog file in new format to the old format:
	    llconvert -r /var/adm/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog.old

FILES
  </usr/include/lastlog.h>
      Lastlog header file that defines the format for the lastlog file.

  /var/adm/lastlog
      The active lastlog file.
