NAME
       auparse_feed - feed data into parser

SYNOPSIS
       #include <auparse.h>

       int auparse_feed(auparse_state_t *au, const char *data, size_t data_len);

       au     The audit parse state

       data   a  buffer  of  data to feed into the parser, it is data_len bytes long. The data is copied in the parser, upon return the caller may
	      free or reuse the data buffer.

       data_len
	      number of bytes in data

DESCRIPTION
       auparse_feed supplies new data for the parser to consume.  auparse_init() must have been called with a source type of AUSOURCE_FEED  and  a
       NULL pointer.

       The  parser  consumes  as much data as it can invoking a user supplied callback specified with auparse_add_callback with a cb_event_type of
       AUPARSE_CB_EVENT_READY each time the parser recognizes a complete event in the data stream. Data not  fully  parsed  will  persist  and	be
       prepended  to the next feed data. After all data has been feed to the parser auparse_flush_feed should be called to signal the end of input
       data and flush any pending parse data through the parsing system.

EXAMPLE
       void
       auparse_callback(auparse_state_t *au, auparse_cb_event_t cb_event_type,
			void *user_data)
       {
	   int *event_cnt = (int *)user_data;

	   if (cb_event_type == AUPARSE_CB_EVENT_READY) {
	       if (auparse_first_record(au) <= 0) return;
	       printf("event: %d
", *event_cnt);
	       printf("records:%d
", auparse_get_num_records(au));
	       do {
		   printf("fields:%d
", auparse_get_num_fields(au));
		   printf("type=%d ", auparse_get_type(au));
		   const au_event_t *e = auparse_get_timestamp(au);
		   if (e == NULL) return;
		   printf("event time: %u.%u:%lu
",
			   (unsigned)e->sec, e->milli, e->serial);
		   auparse_first_field(au);
		   do {
		       printf("%s=%s (%s)
", auparse_get_field_name(au),
			      auparse_get_field_str(au),
			      auparse_interpret_field(au));
		   } while (auparse_next_field(au) > 0);
		   printf("
");

	       } while(auparse_next_record(au) > 0);
	       (*event_cnt)++;
	   }
       }

       main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
	   char *filename = argv[1];
	   FILE *fp;
	   char buf[256];
	   size_t len;
	   int *event_cnt = malloc(sizeof(int));

	   au = auparse_init(AUSOURCE_FEED, 0);

	   *event_cnt = 1;
	   auparse_add_callback(au, auparse_callback, event_cnt, free);

	   if ((fp = fopen(filename, "r")) == NULL) {
	       fprintf(stderr, "could not open '%s', %s0, filename, strerror(errno));
	       return 1;
	   }

	   while ((len = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), fp))) {
	       auparse_feed(au, buf, len);
	   }
	   auparse_flush_feed(au);
       }

RETURN VALUE
       Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.
