       int audit_request_status (int fd);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_request_status requests that the kernel send status structure describing various settings. The audit_status structure is as follows:

	      struct audit_status {
		 __u32	 mask;		 /* Bit mask for valid entries */
		 __u32	 enabled;	 /* 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled */
		 __u32	 failure;	 /* Failure-to-log action */
		 __u32	 pid;		 /* pid of auditd process */
		 __u32	 rate_limit;	 /* messages rate limit (per second) */
		 __u32	 backlog_limit;  /* waiting messages limit */
		 __u32	 lost;		 /* messages lost */
		 __u32	 backlog;	 /* messages waiting in queue */
	      };

RETURN VALUE

       The  return  value  is  <=  0  on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can have any error that sendto would
       encounter.

NAME

       audit_add_rule_data - Add new audit rule

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_add_rule_data (int fd, struct audit_rule_data *rule, int flags, int action);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_add_rule  adds  an  audit rule to one of several kernel event filters. The filter is specified by the flags argument. Possible values
       for flags are:

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_USER - Apply rule to userspace generated messages.

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_TASK - Apply rule at task creation (not syscall).

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY - Apply rule at syscall entry.

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_WATCH - Apply rule to file system watches.

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT - Apply rule at syscall exit.

       o  AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE - Apply rule at audit_log_start.

       The rule's action has two possible values:

       o  AUDIT_NEVER - Do not build context if rule matches.

       o  AUDIT_ALWAYS - Generate audit record if rule matches.

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can  have  any	error  that  sendto  would
       encounter.
