Question AIX auditing

I have a question relating with AIX auditing Question is can we set Auditing on a particular file in AIX for a particular application only?

Let say I have a file name "info.jar" and I have three application named APP1, APP2 & APP3 which are accessing that file so I want to know that which application accessing that file at what time. So can we set this type of auditing?

THANKS & REGARDS,

setaudproc(2)							System Calls Manual						     setaudproc(2)

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. AUTHOR
