arg Token

The arg token contains information about the arguments to a system call: the argument number of the system call, the argument value, and an optional description. This token allows a 32-bit integer system-call argument in an audit record.

The arg token has five fields:

• A token ID that identifies this token as an arg token

• An argument ID that tells which system call argument that the token refers to

• The argument value

• The length of the descriptive text string

• The text string

The praudit -x command shows the fields of the arg token:

<argument arg-num="2" value="0x0" desc="new file uid"/>
