29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm audit_submit
32.Nd "general purpose audit record submission"
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb libbsm
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In bsm/libbsm.h
37.Ft int
38.Fo audit_submit
39.Fa "short au_event" "au_id_t auid" "char status"
40.Fa "int reterr" "const char * restrict format" ...
41.Fc
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn audit_submit
45function provides a generic programming interface for audit record submission.
46This audit record will contain a header, subject token, an optional text token,
47return token, and a trailer.
48The header will contain the event class specified by
49.Fa au_event .
50The subject token will be generated based on
51.Fa auid .
52The return token is dependent on the
53.Fa status
54and
55.Fa reterr
56arguments; unlike the argument to
57.Xr au_to_return ,
58.Fa reterr
59should be a local rather than BSM error number.
60Optionally, a text token will be created as a part of this record.
61.Pp
62Text token output is under the control of a
63.Fa format
64string that specifies how subsequent arguments (or arguments accessed via the
65variable-length argument facilities of
66.Xr stdarg 3 )
67are converted for output.
68If
69.Fa format
70is
71.Dv NULL ,
72then no text token is created in the audit record.
73.Pp
74It should be noted that
75.Fn audit_submit
76assumes that
77.Xr setaudit 2 ,
78or
79.Xr setaudit_addr 2
80has already been called.
81As a direct result, the terminal ID for the
82subject will be retrieved from the kernel via
83.Xr getaudit 2 ,
84or
85.Xr getaudit_addr 2 .
86.Sh RETURN VALUES
87If successful,
88.Nm
89will return zero.
90Otherwise a -1 is returned and the global variable
91.Va errno
92is set to indicate the error.
