63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
65.Xr audit_user 5
66database, which describes per-user audit configuration.
67Audit user entries are described by a
68.Vt au_user_ent ,
69which stores the user's name in
70.Va au_name ,
71events to always audit in
72.Va au_always ,
73and events never to audit
74.Va au_never .
75.Pp
76The
77.Fn getauuserent
78function
79returns the next user found in the
80.Xr audit_user 5
81database, or the first if the function has not yet been called.
82.Dv NULL
83will be returned if no further records are available.
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn getauusernam
87function
88looks up a user by name.
89.Dv NULL
90will be returned if no matching class can be found.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn setauuser
94function
95resets the iterator through the
96.Xr audit_user 5
97database, causing the next call to
98.Fn getauuserent
99to start again from the beginning of the file.
100.Pp
101The
102.Fn endauuser
103function
104closes the
105.Xr audit_user 5
106database, if open.
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn au_user_mask
110function
111calculates a new session audit mask to be returned via
112.Fa mask_p
113for the user identified by
114.Fa username .
115If the user audit configuration is not found, the default system audit
116properties returned by
117.Xr getacflg 3
118are used.
119The resulting mask may be set via a call to
120.Xr setaudit 2
121or related variants.
122.Pp
123The
124.Fn getfauditflags
125function generates a new process audit state by combining the audit masks
126passed as parameters with the system audit masks.

132.Sh HISTORY
133The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
134division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
135It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
136the OpenBSM distribution.
137.Sh AUTHORS
138.An -nosplit
139This software was created by
140.An Robert Watson ,
141.An Wayne Salamon ,
142and
143.An Suresh Krishnaswamy
144for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
145Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
146.Pp
147The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
148stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
149.Sh BUGS
150These routines cannot currently distinguish between an entry not being found
151and an error accessing the database.
152The implementation should be changed to return an error via
153.Va errno
154when
155.Dv NULL
156is returned.
