NAME

       audit - write a record to the audit log

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lbsm  -lsocket   -lnsl   [ library... ]
       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <bsm/libbsm.h>

       int audit(caddr_t record, int length);

DESCRIPTION

       The audit() function queues a record for writing to the system audit log. The data pointed to by record is queued for the log after a mini-
       mal consistency check, with the length parameter specifying the size of the record  in bytes.  The  data  should  be  a	well-formed  audit
       record as described by audit.log(4).

       The  kernel  validates  the record header token type and length,  and sets the time stamp value before writing the record to the audit log.
       The kernel does not do any preselection for user-level generated events. If the audit policy is set to  include sequence or trailer tokens,
       the kernel will append  them to the record.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The audit() function will fail if:

       E2BIG	  The record length is greater than the maximum allowed record length.

       EFAULT	  The record argument points outside the process's allocated address space.

       EINVAL	  The header token in the record is invalid.

       ENOTSUP	  Solaris Audit is not defined for this system.

       EPERM	  The {PRIV_PROC_AUDIT} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of the calling process.

USAGE

       Only privileged processes can successfully execute this call.
