Appends an audit record to the audit trail file.
Standard C Library (libc.a)
#include <sys/audit.h>
int auditlog ( Event, Result, Buffer, BufferSize)
char *Event;
int Result;
char *Buffer;
int BufferSize;
The auditlog subroutine generates an audit record. The kernel audit-logging component appends a record for the specified Event if system auditing is enabled, process auditing is not suspended, and the Event parameter is in one or more of the audit classes for the current process.
The audit logger generates the audit record by adding the Event and Result parameters to the audit header and including the resulting information in the Buffer parameter as the audit tail.
Upon successful completion, the auditlog subroutine returns a value of 0. If auditlog fails, a value of -1 is returned and the errno global variable is set to indicate the error.
The auditlog subroutine does not return any indication of failure to write the record where this is due to inappropriate tailoring of auditing subsystem configuration files or user-written code. Accidental omissions and typographical errors in the configuration are potential causes of such a failure.
The auditlog subroutine fails if any of the following are true:
The audit (audit Subroutine) subroutine, auditbin (auditbin Subroutine) subroutine, auditevents (auditevents Subroutine) subroutine, auditobj (auditobj Subroutine) subroutine, auditproc (auditproc Subroutine) subroutine, auditwrite (auditwrite Subroutine) subroutine.
