Notes

The functionality described on this manual page is internal to audit(1M) and might not be supported in a future release.

The auditd utility is the only supported mechanism to communicate with auditd(1M). The current audit log can be determined by examining the configured audit directories. See audit_control(4).

The functionality described on this manual page is available only if Solaris Auditing has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information.
