NAME

getevent() — get events and system calls that are currently being audited

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/audit.h> int getevent( struct aud_type *a_syscall, struct aud_event_tbl *a_event );

Remarks

This function is provided purely for backward compatibility. HP recommends that new applications use the audevent command to get events and system calls that are currently being audited. See audevent(1M).

DESCRIPTION

getevent() gets the events and system calls being audited. The events are returned in a table pointed to by a_event. The system calls are returned in a table pointed to by a_syscall. This call is restricted to users with the AUDCONTROL privilege.

Security Restrictions

Some or all of the actions associated with this system call require the AUDCONTROL privilege. Processes owned by the superuser have this privilege. Processes owned by other users may have this privilege, depending on system configuration. See privileges(5) for more information about privileged access on systems that support fine-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned; otherwise, a -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

getevent() fails if the following is true:

EPERM

The caller does not have the AUDCONTROL privilege.

AUTHOR

getevent() was developed by HP.
