NAME

       audit_add_rule_data - Add new audit rule

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int  audit_add_rule_data  (int  fd,  struct  audit_rule_data *rule, int
       flags, int action);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_add_rule adds an audit  rule  to  one  of  several  kernel  event
       filters. The filter is specified by the flags argument. Possible values
       for flags are:

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_USER - Apply rule to userspace generated messages.

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_TASK - Apply rule at task creation (not syscall).

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_ENTRY - Apply rule at syscall entry.

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_WATCH - Apply rule to file system watches.

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT - Apply rule at syscall exit.

       ·  AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE - Apply rule at audit_log_start.

       The rule’s action has two possible values:

       ·  AUDIT_NEVER - Do not build context if rule matches.

       ·  AUDIT_ALWAYS - Generate audit record if rule matches.

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.
