Audit aware

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
