NAME

auevent − audit event type definition file

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/auetypes.h>
#include <auevent.h>

DESCRIPTION

/var/security/auevent is a text file that describes each audit event type in the system.  It contains the following information for each audit event type:

Numerical event code

Event identifying name (duplicates values in <sys/auetypes.h>)

Event description

The fields in each record are separated by colons and may not be continued from one line to the next.  The first two fields are mandatory; the last is optional. 

The file is provided for use by getaeent(3) and associated routines. 

Lines that are blank or begin with a pound character (#) are treated as comments, and are ignored. 

Lines may be no longer than 1024 characters (as defined by BUFSIZ in <stdio.h>). 

The auevent structure is defined in the <auevent.h> header file as follows:

struct auevent
{
intae_eid;
char∗ae_name;
char∗ae_desc;
}
