getacinfo, getacdir, getacflg, getacmin, getacna, setac, endac– get audit control file information

Synopsis

cc [ flag... ] file... -lbsm  -lsocket   -lnsl   [ library... ]
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>

int getacdir( char *dir, int len);

int getacmin( int *min_val);

int getacflg( char *auditstring, int len);

int getacna( char *auditstring, int len);

void setac(void);

void endac(void);

Description

When first called, getacdir() provides information about the first audit directory in the audit_control file. Thereafter, it returns the next directory in the file. Successive calls list all the directories listed in audit_control(4) The len argument specifies the length of the buffer dir. On return, dir points to the directory entry.

The getacmin() function reads the minimum value from the audit_control file and returns the value in min_val. The minimum value specifies how full the file system to which the audit files are being written can get before the script audit_warn(1M) is invoked.

The getacflg() function reads the system audit value from the audit_control file and returns the value in auditstring. The len argument specifies the length of the buffer auditstring.

The getacna() function reads the system audit value for non-attributable audit events from the audit_control file and returns the value in auditstring. The len argument specifies the length of the buffer auditstring. Non-attributable events are events that cannot be attributed to an individual user. The inetd(1M) utility and several other daemons record non-attributable events.

The setac() function rewinds the audit_control file to allow repeated searches.

The endac() function closes the audit_control file when processing is complete.

Files

/etc/security/audit_control

file containing default parameters read by the audit daemon, auditd(1M)

Return Values

The getacdir(), getacflg(), getacna(), and getacmin() functions return:

0

on success.

-2

on failure and set errno to indicate the error.

The getacmin() and getacflg() functions return:

1

on EOF.

The getacdir() function returns:

-1

on EOF.

2

if the directory search had to start from the beginning because one of the other functions was called between calls to getacdir().

These functions return:

-3

if the directory entry format in the audit_control file is incorrect.

The getacdir(), getacflg(), and getacna() functions return:

-3

if the input buffer is too short to accommodate the record.
