L_stat file format

[Chad R. Larson]

A couple of weeks ago I asked if anyone knew the format of the
/usr/lib/uucp/L_stat file.  Mine has some bogus entries in it that got
there because of mis-typing a system name which causes "BAD SYSTEM"
status to be stored.  I wanted to be able to use a binary editor to
remove the bogus entries without destroying the valid status entries.

I got no pertinent replys, so I embarked on an empirical study.  On
the odd chance that it is useful to someone, here is the result:

--------------------(include file)--------------------

/* L_stat.h - structure for /usr/lib/uucp/L_stat */

#include <sys/types.h>

struct L_stat {
    char	system[8];	/* system name */
				/* (limited to 6 chars by uucp) */
    time_t	attempt;	/* time of last connection attempt */
    time_t	last_good;	/* time of last successful connection */
				/* (set to zero if never connected) */
    short int	status;		/* current status code */
};

--------------------(end include file)--------------------

The file is a concatinated list of these structures.  Please note my
system is a Microport System V/AT 2.2, your milage may vary.
