== NAME

ll2_write_entry -  Write a new entry into the database.

== SYNOPSIS

*#include <lastlog2.h>*

*int ll2_write_entry (struct ll2_context *__context__, const char *__user__,
		      int64_t __ll_time__, const char *__tty__,
		      const char *__rhost__, const char *__pam_service__,
		      char **__error__);*

== DESCRIPTION

Writes an new entry into database, which is defined in _context_.
If _context_ is NULL, the default database, defined in _LL2_DEFAULT_DATABASE_,
will be taken.


--------------------------------------
time_t login_time = time(0); // Get the system time
char   *error = NULL;
const  char *user = "root";

int ret = ll2_write_entry (NULL, user, login_time, "pts/0",
 	                   "192.168.122.1", NULL, &error);
--------------------------------------

_pam_service_ is the service or instance name which has generated the entry (optional).

== RETURN VALUE

Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM or -1 on other failure.
_error_ contains an error string if the return value is -1.
_error_ is not guaranteed to contain an error string, could also be NULL.
_error_ should be freed by the caller.
