AUDIT_LOG_ACCT_MESSAGE(3) Linux Audit API AUDIT_LOG_ACCT_MESSAGE(3)
audit_log_acct_message - log a user account message
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_log_acct_message(int audit_fd,
int type,
const char *pgname,
const char *op,
const char *name,
unsigned int id,
const char *host,
const char *addr,
const char *tty,
int result);
This function will log a message to the audit system using a
predefined message format. It should be used for all account
manipulation operations. The function parameters are as follows:
audit_fd - The fd returned by audit_open
type - type of message: AUDIT_USER_CHAUTHTOK for changing
any account attributes.
pgname - program's name, if NULL will attempt to figure out
op - operation. Ex: "adding-user", "changing-finger-
info", "deleting-group". This value should have a dash or
underscore between the words so that report parsers group
them together.
name - user's account or group name. If not available use
NULL.
id - uid or gid that the operation is being performed on.
If the user is unknown, pass a -1 and fill in the name
parameter. This is used only when user is NULL.
host - The hostname if known. If not available pass a NULL.
addr - The network address of the user. If not available
pass a NULL.
tty - The tty of the user, if NULL will attempt to figure
out
result - 1 is "success" and 0 is "failed"
It returns the sequence number which is > 0 on success or <= 0 on
error.
This function returns -1 on failure. Examine errno for more info.
