34NAME
35     print_audit, print_audit_buf  -  format and print audit trail data
36     print_audit_xml_prolog,
37     print_audit_xml_ending,
38     print_audit_xml_prolog_buf,
39     print_audit_xml_ending_buf    - print audit XML prolog and ending
40
41SYNOPSIS
42     int print_audit(const int flags, const char *separator);
43
44     int print_audit_buf(char **in_buf, int *in_buf_len, char **out_buf,
45	int *out_buf_len, const int flags, const char *separator);
46
47     void print_audit_xml_prolog(void);
48     void print_audit_xml_ending(void);
49     int print_audit_xml_prolog_buf(char *out_buf, const int out_buf_len);
50     int print_audit_xml_ending_buf(char *out_buf, const int out_buf_len);
51
52DESCRIPTION
53     print_audit() formats binary audit data from stdin and prints in
54     ASCII on stdout. print_audit_buf() formats binary audit data from
55     in_buf and copies in ASCII to out_buf, terminating with a null
56     byte.
57
58     print_audit_xml_prolog and print_audit_xml_prolog_buf will print
59     only the audit XML prolog. The XML, prolog includes identification
60     of the DTD which is used to parse the XML, and also identifies the
61     stylesheet which is used to view the XML conveniently (for example
62     in a browser which supports these features).
63
64     print_audit_xml_ending and print_audit_xml_ending_buf print only
65     the XML ending which completes the audit XML.
66
67PARAMETERS
68     flags - specifies the types of formatting to be done:
69
70     PRF_DEFAULTM
71	   Default formatting.  By default, times, user  and  group  IDs
72	   (UIDs and GIDs, respectively) are converted to their ASCII
73	   representation. Record type and  event fields  are converted
74	   to their  ASCII representation. If any other flags are
75	   specified they will override this flag.
76
77     PRF_RAWM
78           Print records in their raw form. Times,   UIDs,  GIDs,
79           record  types,  and  events are displayed as integers.
80           This value and PRF_SHORTM are exclusive. If  both
81           are used, no processing is done and EINVAL is returned.
82
83     PRF_SHORTM
84           Print records in their short form. All numeric  fields
85           are  converted to ASCII and displayed. The short ASCII
86           representations for the record type and  event  fields
87           are   used.   This  value an PRF_RAWM are exclusive. If
88	   both are used, no processing is done and EINVAL is returned.
89
90     PRF_XMLM
91           Print records in XML format. "tags" are included in the
92           output to identify tokens and fields within tokens.
93	   Output will not include an XML prolog or ending which
94           are required to from complete, valid XML. The various
95           print XML prolog and ending functions described here
96           must be used separately from print_audit and print_audit_buf
97           to accomplish that.
98
99     PRF_ONELINE
100           Prints one line per record. The record type and  event
101           fields  are  always  converted  to  their  short ASCII
102           representation as is done for the -s option.
103
104
105     separator -
106	if non-NULL, this is used as the field delimiter instead of the
107	default delimiter, which is the comma.  The maximum size of a
108	delimiter is three characters (not counting the required
109	null-terminator).  Note that the delimiter is not meaningful
110	and this parameter is ignored when flags specifies XML format.
111
112     in_buf, in_buf_len,
113     out_buf, out_buf_len  -
114	pointers to the start of input and output buffers and their lengths.
115	See Return Values for details about how these are used.
116
117
118RETURN VALUES
119     print_audit() and print_audit_buf() return:
120     0     on success.
121     -1    on failure and set errno to indicate the error:
122
123     EINVAL - invalid input flags, delimiter, or error parsing the
124	      binary audit data.
125
126     ENOSPC - output buffer too small.
127
128     EIO    - input exhausted before end of an audit record.
129
130     EPERM  - internal or other unexpected error.
131
132     Partial results may also be returned for these errors.
133
134
135     The following parameters are always returned:
136
137     out_buf_len -
138
139     updated to reflect size of output successfully produced. If
140     non-zero, this will include the single terminating null byte.
141
142
143     Upon return of partial results, these parameters will also be
144     updated to reflect status (up to the end of the last completed
145     audit record from the input):
146
147     in_buf, in_buf_len -
148
149     updated to reflect amount of input successfully consumed.  in_buf
150     will point to the next byte which has not been processed.
151     in_buf_len will be set to the remaining size from this address to
152     the end of the original buffer.
153
154
155     print_audit_xml_prolog_buf and print_audit_xml_ending_buf return:
156     0     on success.
157     -1    on failure and set errno to indicate the error:
158
159     ENOSPC - output buffer too small.
160
161
162EXAMPLES
163       The following code fragment takes audit input from stdin, and
164       will print on stdout complete XML including a prolog:
165
166	print_audit_xml_prolog();
167
168	/*
169	 * Format audit data from stdin and print to stdout.
170	 */
171	retstat = print_audit(PRF_XMLM | PRF_ONELINE, NULL);
172
173	if (retstat == 0)
174		print_audit_xml_ending();
