au_user_mask(3BSM)  Security and Auditing Library Functions au_user_mask(3BSM)

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 prese‐
       lection 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_con‐
       trol(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)	 data‐
       base entries could not be retrieved.

FILES
       /etc/security/audit_control

	   file	 containing  default  parameters  read	by  the	 audit daemon,
	   auditd(1M)

       /etc/security/audit_user

	   file that stores per-user audit event mask

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  Basic Security Module (BSM) has been enabled.  See bsmconv(1M) for
       more information.

       The au_user_mask() function is Obsolete and may be replaced with equiv‐
       alent functionality in a future release.
