 NAME
praudit - print contents of an audit trail file
 SYNOPSIS

praudit [-lrsx] [-ddel] [filename]...


 DESCRIPTION

praudit reads the listed filenames (or standard input, if no
filename is specified) and interprets the data as audit trail records as
defined in audit.log(4). 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. A maximum of 100 audit files can be specified on the command
line.
 OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-ddel

Use del as the field delimiter instead of the default delimiter, which is
the comma. If del has special meaning for the shell, it must be quoted.
The maximum size of a delimiter is three characters. The delimiter is not
meaningful and is not used when the -x option is specified.


-l

Print one line per record.


-r

Print records in their raw form. Times, UIDs, GIDs, record types,
and events are displayed as integers. This option is useful when naming
services are offline. The -r option and the -s option are
exclusive. If both are used, a format usage error message is output.


-s

Display records in their short form. Numeric fields' ASCII equivalents are
looked up by means of the sources specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf
file (see nsswitch.conf(4)). All numeric fields are converted to ASCII
and then displayed. The short ASCII representations for the record type
and event fields are used. This option and the -r option are exclusive.
If both are used, a format usage error message is output.


-x

Print records in XML form. Tags are included in the output to identify tokens
and fields within tokens. Output begins with a valid XML prolog, which includes
identification of the DTD which can be used to parse the XML.
