 AU_USER_MASK 3BSM "Mar 31, 2005"
 NAME
au_user_mask - get user's binary preselection mask
 SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lbsm  -lsocket   -lnsl  [ library... ]
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>

int au_user_mask(char *username, au_mask_t *mask_p);


 DESCRIPTION

The au_user_mask() function reads the default, system wide audit classes
from audit_control(4), combines them with the per-user audit classes
from the audit_user(4) database, and updates the binary preselection mask
pointed to by mask_p with the combined value.

The audit flags in the flags field of the audit_control(4) database
and the always-audit-flags and never-audit-flags from the
audit_user(4) database represent binary audit classes. These fields are
combined by au_preselect(3BSM) as follows:

mask = ( flags + always-audit-flags) - never-audit-flags

The au_user_mask() function fails only if both the both the
audit_control(4) and the audit_user(4) database entries could not
be retrieved. This allows for flexible configurations.
 RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, au_user_mask() returns 0. It fails and
returns -1 if both the audit_control(4) and the audit_user(4)
database entries could not be retrieved.

 NOTES

The au_user_mask() function should be called by programs like
login(1) which set a process's preselection mask with setaudit(2).
getaudit(2) should be used to obtain audit characteristics for the
current process.

The functionality described on this manual page is available only if the
Solaris Auditing has been enabled. See bsmconv(1M) for more information.
