The total number of audit records processed by the audit(2) system call.

ctl

rblk

The total number of times that the audit queue has blocked waiting to process audit data.

tot

The total number of Kbytes of audit data written to the audit trail.

wblk

The total number of times that user processes blocked on the audit queue at the high water mark.

wrtn

The total number of audit records written. The difference between enq and wrtn is the number of outstanding audit records on the audit queue that have not been written.

OPTIONS
-c count

-i interval

Display the statistics every interval where interval is the number of seconds to sleep between each collection.

-n

Display the number of kernel audit events currently configured.

-T u | d
