NAME

       setaudproc() - controls process level auditing for the current process and its decendents

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       controls  process  level  auditing for the current process and its decendents.  It accomplishes this by setting or clearing the flag in the
       area of the calling process.  When this flag is set, the system audits the process; when it is cleared, the process is not  audited.   This
       call is restricted to users with the privilege.

       One of the following flags must be used for aflag:

	      Audit the calling process and its decendents.
	      Do not audit the calling process and its decendents.

       The  flag  is  inherited by the descendents of a process.  consequently, the effect of a call to is not limited to the current process, but
       propagates to all its decendents as well.  For example, if is called with the flag, all subsequent audited  system  calls  in  the  current
       process are audited until is called with the flag.

       Further,  performs its action regardless of whether the user executing the process has been selected to be audited or not.  For example, if
       is called with the (or the flag, all subsequent audited system calls will be audited (or not audited), regardless of whether the user  exe-
       cuting the process has been selected for auditing or not.

       Due  to	these features, should not be used in most self-auditing applications.	should be used (see audswitch(2)) when the objective is to
       suspend auditing within a process without affecting its decendents or overriding the user selection aspect of the auditing system.

   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, returns 0; otherwise, it returns -1 and sets to indicate the error.
