AU_FREE_TOKEN(3) Library Functions Manual AU_FREE_TOKEN(3) NAME au_free_token -- deallocate a token_t created by any of the au_to_*() BSM API functions LIBRARY Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm) SYNOPSIS #include <bsm/libbsm.h> void au_free_token(token_t *tok); DESCRIPTION The BSM API generally manages deallocation of token_t objects. However, if au_write(3) is passed a bad audit descriptor, the token_t * parameter will be left untouched. In that case, the caller can deallocate the token_t us- ing au_free_token() if desired. The tok argument is a token_t * generated by one of the au_to_*() BSM API calls. For convenience, tok may be NULL, in which case au_free_token() re- turns immediately. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES This is, in fact, what audit_write(3) does, in keeping with the existing memory management model of the BSM API. SEE ALSO audit_write(3), au_write(3), libbsm(3) HISTORY The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security di- vision 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. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly April 19, 2005 AU_FREE_TOKEN(3)
