getevent(2)							System Calls Manual						       getevent(2)

NAME

       getevent() - get events and system calls that are currently being audited

SYNOPSIS

   Remarks
       This  function is provided purely for backward compatibility.  HP recommends that new applications use the command to get events and system
       calls that are currently being audited.	See audevent(1M).

DESCRIPTION

       gets the events and system calls being audited.	The events are returned in a table pointed to by a_event.  The system calls  are  returned
       in a table pointed to by a_syscall.  This call is restricted to users with the privilege.

   Security Restrictions
       Some  or  all of the actions associated with this system call require the privilege.  Processes owned by the superuser have this privilege.
       Processes owned by other users may have this privilege, depending on system configuration.  See privileges(5) for  more	information  about
       privileged access on systems that support fine-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned; otherwise, a -1 is returned and is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       fails if the following is true:

       The caller does not have the
		      privilege.
