NAME

       audit_request_signal_info - Request signal info for the audit system

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_request_signal_info(int fd);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_request_signal_info  requests  that  the  kernel send information
       about the sender of a signal  to  the  audit  daemon.  The  sinal  info
       structure is as follows:

       struct audit_sig_info {
               uid_t           uid;
               pid_t           pid;
               char            ctx[0];
       };

       This  function is likely to be used only by audit daemons and shouldn’t
       be called by any other kind of 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.
