32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm auditon
35.Nd "Configure system audit parameters"
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In bsm/audit.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn auditon "int cmd" "void *data" "u_int length"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43system call is used to manipulate various audit control operations.
44.Ft *data
45should point to a structure whose type depends on the command.
46.Ft length
47specifies the size of the
48.Em data
49in bytes.
50.Ft cmd
51may be any of the following:
52.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR"
53.It Dv A_SETPOLICY
54Set audit policy flags.
55.Ft *data
56must point to an long value set to one of the audit
57policy control values defined in audit.h.
58Currently, only
59.Dv AUDIT_CNT
60and
61.Dv AUDIT_AHLT
62are implemented.
63In the
64.Dv AUDIT_CNT
65case, the action will continue regardless if
66an event will not be audited.
67In the
68.Dv AUDIT_AHLT
69case, a
70.Xr panic 9
71will result if an event will not be written to the
72audit log file.
73.It Dv A_SETKAUDIT
74Return
75.Er ENOSYS .
76.It Dv A_SETKMASK
77Set the kernel preselection masks (success and failure).
78.Ft *data
79must point to a
80.Ft au_mask_t
81structure containing the mask values.
82These masks are used for non-attributable audit event preselection.
83.It Dv A_SETQCTRL
84Set kernel audit queue parameters.
85.Ft *data
86must point to a
87.Ft au_qctrl_t
88structure containing the
89kernel audit queue control settings:
90.Va high water ,
91.Va low water ,
92.Va output buffer size ,
93.Va percent min free disk space ,
94and
95.Em delay
96(not currently used).

105.Er ENOSYS .
106.It Dv A_SETCOND
107Set the current auditing condition.
108.Ft *data
109must point to an long value containing the new
110audit condition, one of
111.Dv AUC_AUDITING ,
112.Dv AUC_NOAUDIT ,
113or
114.Dv AUC_DISABLED .
115.It Dv A_SETCLASS
116Set the event class preselection mask for an audit event.
117.Ft *data

119.Ft au_evclass_map_t
120structure containing the audit event and mask.
121.It Dv A_SETPMASK
122Set the preselection masks for a process.
123.Ft *data
124must point to a
125.Ft auditpinfo_t
126structure that contains the given process's audit
127preselection masks for both success and failure.
128.It Dv A_SETFSIZE
129Set the maximum size of the audit log file.
130.Ft *data
131must point to a
132.Ft au_fstat_t
133structure with the
134.Ft af_filesz
135field set to the maximum audit log file size. A value of 0
136indicates no limit to the size.
137.It Dv A_SETKAUDIT
