char *res_tty = NULL;

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. If lastlog2 database does not exist at all, the errno ENOENT is set and can be checked.
The evaluated values are returned by ll_time, tty, rhost and pam_service.
