.TH audit 2 "16 Apr 2008" "SunOS 5.11" "System Calls"
.SH NAME
audit \- write a record to the audit log
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
cc [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lbsm\fR \fB -lsocket \fR \fB -lnsl \fR [ \fIlibrary\fR... ]
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>
\fBint\fR \fBaudit\fR(\fBcaddr_t\fR \fIrecord\fR, \fBint\fR \fIlength\fR);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBaudit()\fR function queues a record for writing to the system audit log.
The data pointed to by \fIrecord\fR is queued for the log after a minimal
consistency check, with the \fIlength\fR parameter specifying the size of the
record in bytes. The data should be a well-formed audit record as described
by \fBaudit.log\fR(4).
.sp
.LP
The kernel validates the record header token type and length, and sets the
time stamp value before writing the record to the audit log. The kernel does
not do any preselection for user-level generated events. If the audit policy is
set to include sequence or trailer tokens, the kernel will append them to the
record.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. Otherwise, \fB\(mi1\fR is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
