These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
audit_event(5) database, which describes audit events.
Entries in the database are described by struct
au_event_ent entries, which are returned by calls to
getauevent(),
getauevnam(), or
getauevnum(). It is also possible to look up an
event number via a call to getauevnonam().
The
setauevent()
function resets the database access session for
audit_event(5), so that the next call to
getauevent() will start with the first entry in the
database.
The
endauevent()
function closes the audit_event(5) database session.
The
getauevent()
function returns a reference to the next entry in the
audit_event(5) database.
The
getauevnam()
function returns a reference to the entry in the
audit_event(5) database with a name of
name.
getauevnum()
returns a reference to the entry in the audit_event(5)
database with an event number of event_number.
The
getauevnonam()
function returns a reference to an audit event number using the
audit_event(5) database.
Functions getauevent(),
getauevent_r(),
getauevnam(),
getauevnam_r(),
getauevnum(),
getauevnum_r(), and
getauevnonam() will return a reference to a
struct au_event_ent or
au_event_t on success, or NULL
on failure, with errno set to provide further error
information.
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004. It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for the OpenBSM distribution.
This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon, and Suresh Krishnaswamy for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
The errno variable is not always properly set following a failure.
These routines are thread-safe, but not re-entrant, so simultaneous or interleaved use of these functions will affect the iterator.
