AU_CLASS(3)                             BSD Library Functions Manual                             AU_CLASS(3)

NAME
     getauclassent, getauclassent_r, getauclassnam, getauclassnam_r, setauclass, endauclass -- look up
     information from the audit_class database

LIBRARY
     Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <bsm/libbsm.h>

     struct au_class_ent *
     getauclassent(void);

     struct au_class_ent *
     getauclassent_r(struct au_class_ent *e);

     struct au_class_ent *
     getauclassnam(const char *name);

     struct au_class_ent *
     getauclassnam_r(struct au_class_ent *e, const char *name);

     void
     setauclass(void);

     void
     endauclass(void);

DESCRIPTION
     These interfaces may be used to look up information from the audit_class(5) database, which describes
     audit event classes.  Audit event classes are described by struct au_class_ent.

     The getauclassent() function will return the next class found in the audit_class(5) database, or the
     first if the function has not yet been called.  NULL will be returned if no further records are avail-able. available.
     able.

     The getauclassnam() function looks up a class by name.  NULL will be returned if no matching class can
     be found.

     The setauclass() function resets the iterator through the audit_class(5) database, causing the next
     call to getauclassent() to start again from the beginning of the file.

     The endauclass() function closes the audit_class(5) database, if open.

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
     These routines cannot currently distinguish between an entry not being found and an error accessing the
     database.  The implementation should be changed to return an error via errno when NULL is returned.
