utmpx is specified by POSIX as an XSI extension. That's more portable
than utmp, which is unavailable for example in musl libc. The manual
page specifies that in Linux (but it probably means in glibc), utmp and
utmpx (and the functions that use them) are identical, so this commit
shouldn't affect glibc systems.
Assume utmpx is always present.
Also, if utmpx is present, POSIX guarantees that some members exist:
- ut_user
- ut_id
- ut_line
- ut_pid
- ut_type
- ut_tv
So, rely on them unconditionally.

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
