NAME
     print_audit, print_audit_buf  -  format and print audit trail data
     print_audit_xml_prolog,
     print_audit_xml_ending,
     print_audit_xml_prolog_buf,
     print_audit_xml_ending_buf    - print audit XML prolog and ending

SYNOPSIS
     int print_audit(const int flags, const char *separator);

     int print_audit_buf(char **in_buf, int *in_buf_len, char **out_buf,
	int *out_buf_len, const int flags, const char *separator);

     void print_audit_xml_prolog(void);
     void print_audit_xml_ending(void);
     int print_audit_xml_prolog_buf(char *out_buf, const int out_buf_len);
     int print_audit_xml_ending_buf(char *out_buf, const int out_buf_len);

DESCRIPTION
     print_audit() formats binary audit data from stdin and prints in
     ASCII on stdout. print_audit_buf() formats binary audit data from
     in_buf and copies in ASCII to out_buf, terminating with a null
     byte.

     print_audit_xml_prolog and print_audit_xml_prolog_buf will print
     only the audit XML prolog. The XML, prolog includes identification
     of the DTD which is used to parse the XML, and also identifies the
     stylesheet which is used to view the XML conveniently (for example
     in a browser which supports these features).

     print_audit_xml_ending and print_audit_xml_ending_buf print only
     the XML ending which completes the audit XML.

PARAMETERS
     flags - specifies the types of formatting to be done:

     PRF_DEFAULTM
	   Default formatting.  By default, times, user  and  group  IDs
	   (UIDs and GIDs, respectively) are converted to their ASCII
	   representation. Record type and  event fields  are converted
	   to their  ASCII representation. If any other flags are
	   specified they will override this flag.

     PRF_RAWM
           Print records in their raw form. Times,   UIDs,  GIDs,
           record  types,  and  events are displayed as integers.
           This value and PRF_SHORTM are exclusive. If  both
           are used, no processing is done and EINVAL is returned.

     PRF_SHORTM
           Print records in their short form. All numeric  fields
           are  converted to ASCII and displayed. The short ASCII
           representations for the record type and  event  fields
           are   used.   This  value an PRF_RAWM are exclusive. If
	   both are used, no processing is done and EINVAL is returned.

     PRF_XMLM
           Print records in XML format. "tags" are included in the
           output to identify tokens and fields within tokens.
	   Output will not include an XML prolog or ending which
           are required to from complete, valid XML. The various
           print XML prolog and ending functions described here
           must be used separately from print_audit and print_audit_buf
           to accomplish that.

     PRF_ONELINE
           Prints one line per record. The record type and  event
           fields  are  always  converted  to  their  short ASCII
           representation as is done for the -s option.


     separator -
	if non-NULL, this is used as the field delimiter instead of the
	default delimiter, which is the comma.  The maximum size of a
	delimiter is three characters (not counting the required
	null-terminator).  Note that the delimiter is not meaningful
	and this parameter is ignored when flags specifies XML format.

     in_buf, in_buf_len,
     out_buf, out_buf_len  -
	pointers to the start of input and output buffers and their lengths.
	See Return Values for details about how these are used.


RETURN VALUES
     print_audit() and print_audit_buf() return:
     0     on success.
     -1    on failure and set errno to indicate the error:

     EINVAL - invalid input flags, delimiter, or error parsing the
	      binary audit data.

     ENOSPC - output buffer too small.

     EIO    - input exhausted before end of an audit record.

     EPERM  - internal or other unexpected error.

     Partial results may also be returned for these errors.


     The following parameters are always returned:

     out_buf_len -

     updated to reflect size of output successfully produced. If
     non-zero, this will include the single terminating null byte.


     Upon return of partial results, these parameters will also be
     updated to reflect status (up to the end of the last completed
     audit record from the input):

     in_buf, in_buf_len -

     updated to reflect amount of input successfully consumed.  in_buf
     will point to the next byte which has not been processed.
     in_buf_len will be set to the remaining size from this address to
     the end of the original buffer.


     print_audit_xml_prolog_buf and print_audit_xml_ending_buf return:
     0     on success.
     -1    on failure and set errno to indicate the error:

     ENOSPC - output buffer too small.


EXAMPLES
       The following code fragment takes audit input from stdin, and
       will print on stdout complete XML including a prolog:

	print_audit_xml_prolog();

	/*
	 * Format audit data from stdin and print to stdout.
	 */
	retstat = print_audit(PRF_XMLM | PRF_ONELINE, NULL);

	if (retstat == 0)
		print_audit_xml_ending();
