If you haven't seen yet, I made some time ago a mapping between utmp struct entries and libsystemd functions: https://github.com/thkukuk/utmpx/blob/main/utmp-to-logind.md But be aware: 1. you need to extend ut_tv from 32bit time_t to 64bit time_t, or your patch will not survive 2038. 2. the string entries are size limited in struct utmp, but are not with libsystemd. So could be that you need to truncate device names, user names and host names.
