Prefixes to Modify Previously Set Audit Flags

Use the modify prefixes in any of three ways: in the flags line in the audit_control(4) file to modify already-specified flags, as flags in the user's entry in the audit_user(4) file, or as arguments to the auditconfig(1M) command.

The prefixes in Table 1-3 along with audit flags, turn on or turn off previously specified audit classes. These prefixes turn on or off previously specified flags only.
