AUDIT_SET_PID(3)		Linux Audit API		      AUDIT_SET_PID(3)

NAME
       audit_set_pid - Set audit daemon process ID

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_pid (int fd, int pid);

DESCRIPTION
       audit_set_pid  tells  the  kernel  what the pid is of the audit daemon.
       When the pid is set to 0, the kernel will log  all  events  to  syslog.
       Otherwise it will try to send events to the netlink connection that has
       the same pid given by this function. If for  some  reason  the  process
       goes  away,  the	 kernel	 will automatically set the value to 0 itself.
       Usually this function is called by the audit daemon and not an external
       program.

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.

SEE ALSO
       audit_open(3), auditd(8).
