Damned if I know - I don't even know what the utmpx handling does, other
than dealing with login accounting. 
Most of the programming I do doesn't do that much with the OS :

I could inclulde the utmpx.h/utmp.h file if wanted.

Don't know if this'll help:
man getut
 NAME
      getutent(), getutent_r(), getutid(), getutid_r(), getutline(),
      getutline_r(), pututline(), pututline_r(), _pututline(), setutent(),
      setutent_r(), endutent(), endutent_r(), utmpname(), utmpname_r() -
      access utmp file entry

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <utmp.h>
etc...

man getutxent
 NAME
      getutxent(), getutxid(), getutxline(), pututxline(), setutxent(),
      endutxent() - access utmpx file entry

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <utmpx.h>
      struct utmpx *getutxent(void);
      struct utmpx *getutxid(const struct utmpx *id);
      struct utmpx *getutxline(const struct utmpx *line);
      struct utmpx *_pututxline(const struct utmpx *utmpx);
      void pututxline(const struct utmpx *utmpx);
      void setutxent(void);
      void endutxent(void);

 DESCRIPTION
      getutxent(), getutxid(), and getutxline() each return a pointer to a
      structure of the following type:

           struct utmpx {
               char ut_user[24];          /* User login name */
               char ut_id[4];            /* /etc/inittab id (usually line#) */
               char ut_line[12];         /* device name (console, lnxx) */
               pid_t ut_pid;             /* process id */
               short ut_type;            /* type of entry */
               struct __exit_status {
                   short __e_termination;  /* Process termination status*/
                   short __e_exit;         /* Process exit status */
                   } ut_exit;            /* The exit status of a process*/
                                         /* marked as DEAD_PROCESS. */
               unsigned short ut_reserved1;  /* Reserved for future use */
               struct timeval {
                   time_t  tv_sec;       /* seconds */
                   long    tv_usec;      /* and microseconds */
                   } ut_tv;             /* time entry was made */
               char ut_host[64];         /* host name, if remote; NOT SUPPORTED */
               unsigned long ut_addr;    /* Internet addr of host, ifremote */
               char ut_reserved2[12] ;   /* Reserved for future use */
           };

      getutxent()         Reads in the next entry from a utmpx-like file.
                          If the file is not already open, getutxent() opens
                          it.  If it reaches the end of the file,
                          getutxent() fails.

etc...
