Get date/time of last reboot programmatically

I would like to find the time of the last reboot programmatically in Linux. I开发者_C百科 am using C and C++ in my module.

Is there an API?


You could either invoke uptime or take a look at /proc/uptime. Given the current time, and knowing how long the system's been up allows you to calculate the time of the last reboot.

Alternatively, the btime entry in /proc/stat gives the boot time directly (in seconds since the epoch) -- search man proc for btime.


There's no direct api, but you can read /proc/uptime "file" to learn how many seconds the system have been running, subtract that from the current time - and assume that's when the machine was rebooted.

/proc/uptime This file contains two numbers: the uptime of the system (seconds), and the amount of time spent in idle process (seconds).


Also, you can find the last reboot time by reading the /var/log/wtmp file. This is a binary file but you can parse with it (or your C version of it)
