NAME

     auditctl -- configure system audit parameters

SYNOPSIS

     #include <bsm/audit.h>

     int
     auditctl(const char *path);

DESCRIPTION

     The auditctl() system call directs the kernel to open a new audit trail log file.	It requires an appropriate privilege.  The auditctl() sys-
     tem call opens new files, but auditon(2) is used to disable the audit log.

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

ERRORS

     The auditctl() system call will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The path is invalid.

     [EPERM]		The process does not have sufficient permission to complete the operation.

HISTORY

     The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in
     2004.  It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for the OpenBSM distribution.
