-.\" commit 266865c0e7b79d4196e2cc393693463f03c90bd8
- _DEFAULT_SOURCE
- In glibc 2.19 and 2.20:

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR acct ()
-system call enables or disables process accounting.
-If called with the name of an existing file as its argument,
-accounting is turned on,
-and records for each terminating process are appended to
-.I filename
-as it terminates.
-An argument of NULL causes accounting to be turned off.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, zero is returned.
-On error, \-1 is returned, and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EACCES
-Write permission is denied for the specified file,
-or search permission is denied for one of the directories
-in the path prefix of
-.I filename
-(see also
-.BR path_resolution (7)),
-or
-.I filename
-is not a regular file.
-.TP
-.B EFAULT
-.I filename
-points outside your accessible address space.
-.TP
-.B EIO
-Error writing to the file
-.IR filename .
-.TP
-.B EISDIR
-.I filename
-is a directory.
-.TP
-.B ELOOP
-Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving
-.IR filename .
-.TP
-.B ENAMETOOLONG
-.I filename
-was too long.
-.TP
-.B ENFILE
-The system-wide limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
-.TP
-.B ENOENT
-The specified file does not exist.
-.TP
-.B ENOMEM
-Out of memory.
-.TP
-.B ENOSYS
-BSD process accounting has not been enabled when the operating system
-kernel was compiled.
-The kernel configuration parameter controlling this feature is
-.BR CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT .
-.TP
-.B ENOTDIR
-A component used as a directory in
-.I filename
-is not in fact a directory.
-.TP
-.B EPERM
-The calling process has insufficient privilege to enable process accounting.
-On Linux, the
-.B CAP_SYS_PACCT
-capability is required.
-.TP
-.B EROFS
-.I filename
-refers to a file on a read-only filesystem.
-.TP
-.B EUSERS
-There are no more free file structures or we ran out of memory.
-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-SVr4, 4.3BSD.
-.\" SVr4 documents an EBUSY error condition, but no EISDIR or ENOSYS.
-.\" Also AIX and HP-UX document EBUSY (attempt is made
-.\" to enable accounting when it is already enabled), as does Solaris
-.\" (attempt is made to enable accounting using the same file that is
-.\" currently being used).
-.SH NOTES
-No accounting is produced for programs running when a system crash occurs.
-In particular, nonterminating processes are never accounted for.
-.P
-The structure of the records written to the accounting file is described in
-.BR acct (5).
