AVAILABILITY

The functionality described in this man page is available only if the Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled.  See bsmconv(1M) for more information. 

MT-LEVEL

MT-Safe with exceptions. 

All of the functions described in this man-page are MT-Safe except getauclassent() and getauclassnam(). The two functions, getauclassent_r() and getauclassnam_r() have the same functionality as the unsafe functions, but have a slightly different function call interface in order to make them MT-Safe. 

DESCRIPTION

getauclassent() and getauclassnam() each return an audit_class entry. 

getauclassnam() searches for an audit_class entry with a given class name name. 

getauclassent() enumerates audit_class entries:  successive calls to getauclassent() will return either successive audit_class entries or NULL. 

setauclass() “rewinds” to the beginning of the enumeration of audit_class entries.  Calls to getauclassnam() may leave the enumeration in an indeterminate state, so setauclass() should be called before the first getauclassent(). 

endauclass() may be called to indicate that audit_class processing is complete; the system may then close any open audit_class file, deallocate storage, and so forth. 

getauclassent_r() and getauclassnam_r() both return a pointer to an audit_class entry as do their similarly named counterparts.  They each take an additional argument, a pointer to pre-allocated space for an au_class_ent_t, which is returned if the call is successful.  To assure there is enough space for the information returned, the applications programmer should be sure to allocate AU_CLASS_NAME_MAX and AU_CLASS_DESC_MAX bytes for the ac_name and ac_desc elements of the au_class_ent_t data structure. 

The internal representation of an audit_user entry is an au_class_ent structure defined in <bsm/libbsm.h> with the following members:

char∗ac_name;
au_class_tac_class;
char∗ac_desc;

RETURN VALUES

getauclassnam() and getauclassnam_r() return a pointer to a struct au_class_ent if they successfully locate the requested entry; otherwise they return NULL. 

getauclassent() and getauclassent_r() return a pointer to a struct au_class_ent if they successfully enumerate an entry; otherwise they return NULL, indicating the end of the enumeration.
