Argument Information

The AW_ARG token lets you write argument information to an audit record. This example writes the return value for the signature_request() function, which is really the first and only parameter to the return() call inside the function. The argument number follows the AW_ARG token, which is followed by descriptive text and the argument value.

retval = signature_request();
auditwrite(AW_EVENT,
	"AUE_second_signature",
	AW_ARG, 1,
	"Signature request return value",
	retval);

The viewing terminal shows this record where the return value is written as 0xffffffff:
