LIBSYSEVENT 3LIB "July 15, 2019"
NAME
libsysevent - system event interface library
SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lsysevent [ library... ]
#include <libsysevent.h>
DESCRIPTION

Functions in this library extract specific identifier, publisher, and attribute information from a system event (sysevent) handle, defined as sysevent_t, and allow privileged user-level applications to queue system events for delivery to the system event daemon, syseventd(8).

The libsysevent interfaces do not work at all in non-global zones.

For a list of events, please see sysevents(3SYSEVENT). The actual events and their payload, unlike the library interfaces, are considered private to the system and subject to change at any time.
