NOTES
       The functionality described on this manual page is internal to audit(1M) and might not be supported in a future release.

       The auditd utility is the only supported mechanism to communicate with auditd(1M). The current audit log can be determined by examining the
       configured audit directories. See audit_control(4).

       The  functionality described on this manual page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for
       more information.
