NAME

       ausearch_add_interpreted_item - build up search rule

SYNOPSIS

       #include <auparse.h>

       int   ausearch_add_interpreted_item(auparse_state_t   *au,  const  char
       *field, const char *op, const char *value, ausearch_rule_t how);

DESCRIPTION

       ausearch_add_interpreted_item adds one search condition to the  current
       audit search expression. The search conditions can then be used to scan
       logs, files, or buffers for something of interest. The field  value  is
       the  field  name  that  the  value will be checked for. The op variable
       describes what kind of check is to be done. Legal op values are:

              exists  just check that a field name exists

              =        locate  the  field  name  and  check  that  the   value
                     associated  with  it  is equal to the value given in this
                     rule.

              !=       locate  the  field  name  and  check  that  the   value
                     associated  with  it  is  NOT equal to the value given in
                     this rule.

       The value parameter is compared to the  interpreted  field  value  (the
       value that would be returned by auparse_interpret_field(3)).

       The  how  value  determines  how  this search condition 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 condition.

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

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

RETURN VALUE

       Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.
