61.Sh DESCRIPTION
62These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
63.Xr audit_user 5
64database, which describes per-user audit configuration.
65Audit user entries are described by a
66.Vt au_user_ent ,
67which stores the user's name in
68.Va au_name ,
69events to always audit in
70.Va au_always ,
71and events never to audit
72.Va au_never .
73.Pp
74The
75.Fn getauuserent
76function
77returns the next user found in the
78.Xr audit_user 5
79database, or the first if the function has not yet been called.
80.Dv NULL
81will be returned if no further records are available.
82.Pp
83The
84.Fn getauusernam
85function
86looks up a user by name.
87.Dv NULL
88will be returned if no matching class can be found.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn setauuser
92function
93resets the iterator through the
94.Xr audit_user 5
95database, causing the next call to
96.Fn getauuserent
97to start again from the beginning of the file.
98.Pp
99The
100.Fn endauuser
101function
102closes the
103.Xr audit_user 5
104database, if open.
105.Pp
106The
107.Fn au_user_mask
108function
109calculates a new session audit mask to be returned via
110.Fa mask_p
111for the user identified by
112.Fa username .
113If the user audit configuration is not found, the default system audit
114properties returned by
115.Xr getacflg 3
116are used.
117The resulting mask may be set via a call to
118.Xr setaudit 2
119or related variants.
120.Pp
121The
122.Fn getfauditflags
123function generates a new process audit state by combining the audit masks
124passed as parameters with the system audit masks.

130.Sh HISTORY
131The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
132division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
133It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
134the OpenBSM distribution.
135.Sh AUTHORS
136.An -nosplit
137This software was created by
138.An Robert Watson ,
139.An Wayne Salamon ,
140and
141.An Suresh Krishnaswamy
142for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
143Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
144.Pp
145The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
146stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
147.Sh BUGS
148These routines cannot currently distinguish between an entry not being found
149and an error accessing the database.
150The implementation should be changed to return an error via
151.Va errno
152when
153.Dv NULL
154is returned.
