PRAUDIT(1)		     General Commands Manual		      PRAUDIT(1)

NAME
     praudit -- print the contents of audit trail files

SYNOPSIS
     praudit [-lnpx] [-r | -s] [-d del] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  praudit  utility  prints  the contents of the audit trail files to the
     standard output in human-readable form.  If no file argument is  specified,
     the standard input is used by default.

     The options are as follows:

     -d del  Specifies the delimiter.  The default delimiter is the comma.

     -l      Prints  the  entire record on the same line.  If this option is not
	     specified, every token is displayed on a different line.

     -n      Do not convert user and group IDs to their names but leave in their
	     numeric forms.

     -p      Specify this option if input to praudit is piped from  the  tail(1)
	     utility.	This  causes  praudit  to  sync to the start of the next
	     record.

     -r      Prints the records in their raw, numeric form.  This option is  ex-
	     clusive from -s.

     -s      Prints  the tokens in their short form.  Short text representations
	     for record and event type are displayed.  This option is  exclusive
	     from -r.

     -x      Print audit records in the XML output format.

     If  the  raw  or short forms are not specified, the default is to print the
     tokens in their long form.  Events are displayed as per their  descriptions
     given  in	/etc/security/audit_event;  UIDs  and GIDs are expanded to their
     names; dates and times are displayed in human-readable format.

EXIT STATUS
     The praudit utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES
     /etc/security/audit_class	  Descriptions of audit event classes.
     /etc/security/audit_event	  Descriptions of audit events.
