praudit(1) BSD General Commands Manual praudit(1)
NAME
praudit -- print the contents of audit trail files
SYNOPSIS
praudit [-lnpx] [-r | -s] [-d del] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The praudit utility prints the contents of the audit trail files to the
standard output in human-readable form. If no file argument is speci-
fied, the standard input is used by default.
The options are as follows:
-d del Specifies the delimiter. The default delimiter is the comma.
-l Prints the entire record on the same line. If this option is not
specified, every token is displayed on a different line.
-n Do not convert user and group IDs to their names but leave in
their numeric forms.
-p Specify this option if input to praudit is piped from the tail(1)
utility. This causes praudit to sync to the start of the next
record.
-r Prints the records in their raw form. Show records and event
types in a numeric form (also known as raw form). This option is
exclusive from -s.
-s Prints the records in their short form. Show records and events
in a short textual representation. This option is exclusive from
-r.
-x Print audit records in the XML output format.
If the raw or short forms are not specified, the default is to print the
tokens in their raw form. Events are displayed as per their descriptions
given in /etc/security/audit_event; UIDs and GIDs are expanded to their
names; dates and times are displayed in human-readable format.
