audeventstab(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual audeventstab(4)
NAME
audeventstab - define and describe audit system events
DESCRIPTION
The file lists audit event numbers, corresponding mnemonic names, and brief explanations of each event. Blank lines and comments (begin-
ning with a character) are allowed. Each non-comment, non-blank line in this file contains three parts:
event Audit event number in decimal: a single field separated by whitespace.
name Corresponding mnemonic name: a single field separated by whitespace.
explanation Remainder of the line, following a character.
For kernel-generated audit events, event numbers match kernel-internal system call numbers, and event names are system call names. For
events from self-auditing programs, names are macros defined in
EXAMPLES
To extract a list of event numbers and names from the file by stripping comments and ignoring blank lines:

sed < /usr/audit/audeventstab -e 's/#.*//' -e "/^[ $tab]*$/d"
