AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3)		Linux Audit API		  AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3)

NAME
       audit_set_failure - Set audit failure flag

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_failure (int fd, int failure);

DESCRIPTION
       audit_set_failure sets the action that the kernel will perform when the
       backlog limit is reached or when it encounters an error and cannot pro‐
       ceed. Possible values are:

       0 - AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK [default]
	      Log  the	audit  record using printk which will cause subsequent
	      events to get written to syslog.

       1 - AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT
	      Do nothing, report nothing, skip logging	the  record  and  con‐
	      tinue.

       2 - AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC
	      Call  the	 panic	function. This would be used to prevent use of
	      the machine upon loss of audit events.

RETURN VALUE
       The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence
       id  number.  This  function  can	 have  any  error  that	 sendto	 would
       encounter.
