NAME
       audit_request_signal_info - Request signal info for the audit system

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_request_signal_info(int fd);

DESCRIPTION
       audit_request_signal_info requests that the kernel send information about the sender of a signal to the audit daemon. The sinal info struc-
       ture is as follows:

       struct audit_sig_info {
	       uid_t	       uid;
	       pid_t	       pid;
	       char	       ctx[0];
       };

       This function is likely to be used only by audit daemons and shouldn't be called by any other kind of program.

RETURN VALUE
       The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can  have  any	error  that  sendto  would
       encounter.
