NAME

       audit_set_rate_limit - Set audit rate limit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_rate_limit (int fd, int limit);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_set_rate_limit  will  set the maximum number of messages that the
       kernel will send per second. This can be used to throttle the  rate  if
       systems  become  unresponsive.  Of  course the trade off is that events
       will be dropped. The default value is 0, meaning no limit.

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).
