NAME
audeventstab - define and describe audit system events
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/audit/audeventstab
file lists audit event numbers, corresponding mnemonic names, and
brief explanations of each event. Blank lines and comments (beginning with a
# character) are allowed.
Each non-comment, non-blank line in this file contains three parts:
event Audit event number in decimal: a single field separated by whitespace.
name Corresponding mnemonic name: a single field separated by whitespace.
explanation Remainder of the line, following a
#
character.
For kernel-generated audit events, event numbers match kernel-internal system call numbers, and event
names are system call names. For events from self-auditing programs, names are macros defined in
<
sys/audit.h >.
EXAMPLES
To extract a list of event numbers and names from the file by stripping comments and ignoring blank lines:
tab=’ ’
sed < /usr/audit/audeventstab -e ’s/#.∗//’ -e "/ˆ[ $tab]∗$/d"
