NAME
audit_open - Open a audit netlink socket connection
SYNOPSIS
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_open (void);
DESCRIPTION
audit_open creates a NETLINK_AUDIT socket for communication with the
kernel part of the Linux Audit Subsystem. The audit system uses the ACK
feature of netlink. This means that every message to the kernel will
return a netlink status packet even if the operation succeeds.
RETURN VALUE
Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, the return value is a
descriptor referencing the socket.
SEE ALSO
netlink(7).
