bsmrecord(1M) System Administration Commands bsmrecord(1M)
NAME
bsmrecord - display Solaris audit record formats
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/bsmrecord [-d] [ [-a] | [-e string] | [-c class] |
[-i id] | [-p programname] | [-s systemcall] | [-h]]
DESCRIPTION
The bsmrecord utility displays the event ID, audit class and selection mask, and record format for audit record event types defined in
audit_event(4). You can use bsmrecord to generate a list of all audit record formats, or to select audit record formats based on event
class, event name, generating program name, system call name, or event ID.
There are two output formats. The default format is intended for display in a terminal window; the optional HTML format is intended for
viewing with a web browser.
Tokens contained in square brackets ( [ ] ) are optional and might not be present in every record.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a
List all audit records.
-c class
List all audit records selected by class. class is one of the two-character class codes from the file /etc/security/audit_class.
-d
Debug mode. Display number of audit records that are defined in audit_event, the number of classes defined in audit_class, any mis-
matches between the two files, and report which defined events do not have format information available to bsmrecord.
-e string
List all audit records for which the event ID label contains the string string. The match is case insensitive.
-h
Generate the output in HTML format.
-i id
List the audit records having the numeric event ID id.
-p programname
List all audit records generated by the program programname, for example, audit records generated by a user-space program.
-s systemcall
List all audit records generated by the system call systemcall, for example, audit records generated by a system call.
The -p and -s options are different names for the same thing and are mutually exclusive. The -a option is ignored if any of -c, -e, -i, -p,
or -s are given. Combinations of -c, -e, -i, and either -p or -s are ANDed together.

DIAGNOSTICS
If unable to read either of its input files or to write its output file, bsmrecord shows the name of the file on which it failed and exits
with a non-zero return.
If no options are provided, if an invalid option is provided, or if both -s and -p are provided, an error message is displayed and bsm-
record displays a usage message then exits with a non-zero return.
NOTES
This command is Obsolete and may be removed and replaced with equivalent functionality in a future release of Solaris.
If /etc/security/audit_event has been modified to add user-defined audit events, bsmrecord displays the record format as undefined.
The audit records displayed by bsmrecord are the core of the record that can be produced. Various audit policies and optional tokens, such
as those shown below, might also be present.
The following is a list of praudit(1M) token names with their descriptions.
group
Present if the group audit policy is set.
sensitivity label
Present when Trusted Extensions is enabled and represents the label of the subject or object with which it is associated. The manda-
tory_label token is noted in the basic audit record where a label is explicitly part of the record.
sequence
Present when the seq audit policy is set.
trailer
Present when the trail audit policy is set.
zone
The name of the zone generating the record when the zonename audit policy is set. The zonename token is noted in the basic audit record
where a zone name is explicitly part of the record.
