setevent(2) setevent(2)

NAME

setevent() - set current events and system calls which are to be audited

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/audit.h>

int setevent(

const struct aud_type a_syscall[],

const struct aud_event_tbl a_event[]

);

DESCRIPTION

setevent() sets the events and system calls to be audited. The event and system call settings in the

tables pointed to by a_syscall and a_event become the current settings. This call is restricted to the 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 sys-

tems that support ﬁne-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, setevent() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indi-

cate the error.

ERRORS

setevent() fails if the following condition is encountered:

[EPERM] The caller is not a user with the AUDCONTROL privilege.
