NAME

       ausearch_add_expression - build up search expression

SYNOPSIS

       #include <auparse.h>

       int    ausearch_add_expression(auparse_state_t    *au,    const    char
       *expression, char **error, ausearch_rule_t how);

DESCRIPTION

       ausearch_add_item adds  an  expression  to  the  current  audit  search
       expression.   The  search  conditions  can  then  be used to scan logs,
       files, or buffers for something of interest.  The expression  parameter
       contains an expression, as specified in ausearch-expression(5).

       The how parameter determines how this search expression will affect the
       existing search expression, if one is already  defined.   The  possible
       values are:

              AUSEARCH_RULE_CLEAR
                     Clear the current search expression, if any, and use only
                     this search expression.

              AUSEARCH_RULE_OR
                     If a search expression E is already  configured,  replace
                     it by (E || this_search_expression).

              AUSEARCH_RULE_AND
                     If  a  search expression E is already configured, replace
                     it by (E && this_search_expression).

RETURN VALUE

       If  successful,  ausearch_add_expression  returns  0.   Otherwise,   it
       returns  -1,  sets errno and it may set *error to an error message; the
       caller must free the error message using free(3).  If an error  message
       is not available or can not be allocated, *error is set to NULL.
