Audit aware

The list and information is incomplete and might change in the future.

Most self-auditing programs are audit aware. They can suspend the currently specified low-level system call auditing on themselves by invoking the audswitch(2) system call and can produce a high-level description of the operations they perform by invoking the audwrite(2) system call to generate self-auditing events. The audit suspension they perform only affects these programs and does not affect any other processes on the system. The list of audit aware programs is as follows:

•audevent(1M) (admin)

audevent: getting event and syscall status

audevent: [disableenable] [successfailure] for [eventsyscall] name

•audisp(1M) (admin)

audisp : argv1 … argvn (for various error conditions)

•auditdp(1M) (admin) auditdp: argv1 … argvn auditdp: invalid command line

auditdp: audit_dpms_write_nevent(3) failed

auditdp: audit_dpms_read_event(3) failed

auditdp: data has been successfully processed

•audfilter(1M) (admin) audfilter: argv1 … argvn
