cc [ flag... ] file... -lbsm -lsocket -lnsl [ library... ] #include <bsm/libbsm.h> int au_user_mask(char *username, au_mask_t *mask_p); The au_user_mask() function reads the default, system wide audit classes from audit_control(4), combines them with the per-user audit classes from the audit_user(4) database, and updates the binary preselection mask pointed to by mask_p with the combined value. The audit flags in the flags field of the audit_control(4) database and the always-audit-flags and never-audit-flags from the audit_user(4) database represent binary audit classes. These fields are combined by au_preselect(3BSM) as follows: mask = ( flags + always-audit-flags) - never-audit-flags The au_user_mask() function fails only if both the both the audit_control(4) and the audit_user(4) database entries could not be retrieved.
