DESCRIPTION
These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
audit_event(5) database, which describes audit events. Entries in the
database are described by struct au_event_ent entries, which are returned
by calls to getauevent(), getauevnam(), or getauevnum(). It is also pos-
sible to look up an event number via a call to getauevnonam().
The setauevent() function resets the database access session for
audit_event(5), so that the next call to getauevent() will start with the
first entry in the database.
The endauevent() function closes the audit_event(5) database session.
The getauevent() function returns a reference to the next entry in the
audit_event(5) database.
The getauevnam() function returns a reference to the entry in the
audit_event(5) database with a name of name.
getauevnum() returns a reference to the entry in the audit_event(5) data-
base with an event number of event_number.
The getauevnonam() function returns a reference to an audit event number
using the audit_event(5) database.
RETURN VALUES
Functions getauevent(), getauevent_r(), getauevnam(), getauevnam_r(),
getauevnum(), getauevnum_r(), and getauevnonam() will return a reference
to a struct au_event_ent or au_event_t on success, or NULL on failure,
with errno set to provide further error information.

HISTORY
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation
for the OpenBSM distribution.
AUTHORS
This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon, and Suresh
Krishnaswamy for McAfee Research, the security research division of
McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit
event stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
BUGS
The errno variable is not always properly set following a failure.
These routines are thread-safe, but not re-entrant, so simultaneous or
interleaved use of these functions will affect the iterator.
