NAME

       getauditflags, getauditflagsbin, getauditflagschar - convert audit flag specifications

SYNOPSIS

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

       int getauditflagsbin(char *auditstring, au_mask_t *masks);

       int getauditflagschar(char *auditstring, au_mask_t *masks, int verbose);

DESCRIPTION

       The  getauditflagsbin()	function  converts  the  character  representation of audit values pointed to by auditstring into au_mask_t fields
       pointed to by masks. These fields indicate which events are to be audited when they succeed and which are to be audited when they fail. The
       character string syntax is described in audit_control(4).

       The  getauditflagschar()  function converts the au_mask_t fields pointed to by masks into a string pointed to by auditstring. If verbose is
       0, the short (2-character) flag names are used. If verbose is non-zero, the long flag names are used. The auditstring  argument	should	be
       large enough to contain the ASCII representation of the events.

       The  auditstring  argument contains a series of event names, each one identifying a single audit class, separated by commas.  The au_mask_t
       fields pointed to by masks correspond to binary values defined in <bsm/audit.h>, which is read by  <bsm/libbsm.h>.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, getauditflagsbin() and getauditflagschar() return 0. Otherwise they return -1.
