AU_CLASS(3)		    Library Functions Manual		   AU_CLASS(3)

NAME
       getauclassent,	 getauclassent_r,    getauclassnam,   getauclassnam_r,
       setauclass, endauclass -- look  up  information	from  the  audit_class
       database

LIBRARY
       Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<bsm/libbsm.h>

       struct au_class_ent *
       getauclassent(void);

       struct au_class_ent *
       getauclassent_r(struct au_class_ent *e);

       struct au_class_ent *
       getauclassnam(const char	*name);

       struct au_class_ent *
       getauclassnam_r(struct au_class_ent *e, const char *name);

       void
       setauclass(void);

       void
       endauclass(void);

DESCRIPTION
       These   interfaces  may	be  used  to  look  up	information  from  the
       audit_class(5) database,	which describes	audit  event  classes.	 Audit
       event classes are described by struct au_class_ent.

       The  getauclassent()  function  will return the next class found	in the
       audit_class(5) database,	or the first if	the function has not yet  been
       called.	NULL will be returned if no further records are	available.

       The  getauclassnam()  function  looks up	a class	by name.  NULL will be
       returned	if no matching class can be found.

       The   setauclass()   function   resets	the   iterator	 through   the
       audit_class(5)  database,  causing  the next call to getauclassent() to
       start again from	the beginning of the file.

       The endauclass()	function closes	the audit_class(5) database, if	open.

HISTORY
       The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee	Research, the security
       division	of McAfee Inc.,	under contract to  Apple  Computer,  Inc.,  in
       2004.   It  was	subsequently  adopted by the TrustedBSD	Project	as the
       foundation for the OpenBSM distribution.

AUTHORS
       This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon,  and	Suresh
       Krishnaswamy  for  McAfee  Research,  the security research division of
       McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.

       The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit  records  and	 audit
       event stream format were	defined	by Sun Microsystems.

BUGS
       These  routines cannot currently	distinguish between an entry not being
       found and an error accessing the	database.  The	implementation	should
       be changed to return an error via errno when NULL is returned.
