Is there any operation in POSIX for getting a list of logged-in users
on the current host? It looks to me like I could do this by repeatedly
calling getutent() (described in utmp.h), which I could write a simple
Ada binding to. I'm trying to use Forest for this sort of thing, but I
couldn't find anything there with this functionality. If there's
something in some part of POSIX but not Forest, I'd like if possible
to do the binding in as POSIX-compatible a way as possible. We're
using gnat 3.03 on Solaris 2.3.
