.SH NAME
au_user_mask \- get user's binary preselection mask
.SH SYNOPSIS

.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR... ] \fIfile\fR... \fB-lbsm\fR \fB -lsocket \fR \fB -lnsl \fR  [ \fIlibrary\fR... ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBau_user_mask()\fR function reads the default, system wide audit classes
from  \fBaudit_control\fR(4), combines them with the per-user audit classes
from the \fBaudit_user\fR(4) database, and updates the binary preselection mask
pointed to by \fImask_p\fR with the combined value.
.sp
.LP
The audit flags in the \fIflags\fR field of the \fBaudit_control\fR(4) database
and the \fIalways-audit-flags\fR and \fInever-audit-flags\fR from the
\fBaudit_user\fR(4) database represent binary audit classes. These fields are
combined by \fBau_preselect\fR(3BSM) as follows:
.sp
.LP
mask = ( \fIflags\fR +  \fIalways-audit-flags\fR) \(mi  \fInever-audit-flags\fR
.sp
.LP
The \fBau_user_mask()\fR function fails only if both the both the
\fBaudit_control\fR(4) and the \fBaudit_user\fR(4) database entries could not
be retrieved.  This allows for flexible configurations.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBau_user_mask()\fR returns 0. It fails and
returns \(mi1 if both the  \fBaudit_control\fR(4) and the  \fBaudit_user\fR(4)
database entries could not be retrieved.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The \fBau_user_mask()\fR function should be called by programs like
\fBlogin\fR(1) which set a process's preselection mask with \fBsetaudit\fR(2).
\fBgetaudit\fR(2) should be used to obtain audit characteristics for the
current process.
.sp
.LP
The functionality described on this manual page is available only if the
Solaris Auditing has been enabled.  See \fBbsmconv\fR(1M) for more information.
