.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_get_pub_name()\fR function returns the publisher name for the
sysevent handle, \fIev\fR.  The publisher name identifies the name of the
publishing application or kernel subsystem of the sysevent.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_get_pid()\fR function returns the process ID for the publishing
application or \fBSE_KERN_PID\fR for sysevents originating in the kernel.  The
publisher name and PID are useful for implementing event acknowledgement.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsysevent_get_vendor_name()\fR function returns the vendor string for the
publishing application or kernel subsystem.  A vendor string is the company's
stock symbol that provided the application or kernel subsystem that generated
the system event.  This information is useful for filtering sysevents for one
or more vendors.
.sp
.LP
The interface manages the allocation of the vendor and publisher name strings,
but it is the caller's responsibility to free the strings when they are no
longer needed by calling \fBfree\fR(3MALLOC). If the new vendor and publisher
name strings cannot be created, \fBsysevent_get_vendor_name()\fR and
\fBsysevent_get_pub_name()\fR return a null pointer and may set errno to
\fBENOMEM\fR to indicate that the storage space available is insufficient.
