.Dt AUDITON 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm auditon
.Nd "configure system audit parameters"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In bsm/audit.h
.Ft int
.Fn auditon "int cmd" "void *data" "u_int length"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn auditon
system call is used to manipulate various audit control operations.
The
.Fa data
argument
should point to a structure whose type depends on the command.
The
.Fa length
argument
specifies the size of
.Fa *data
in bytes.
The
.Fa cmd
argument
may be any of the following:
.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR"
.It Dv A_SETPOLICY
Set audit policy flags.
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt int
value set to one or more the following audit
policy control values bitwise OR'ed together:
.Dv AUDIT_CNT ,
.Dv AUDIT_AHLT ,
.Dv AUDIT_ARGV ,
and
.Dv AUDIT_ARGE .
If
.Dv AUDIT_CNT is set, the system will continue even if it becomes low
on space and discontinue logging events until the low space condition is
remedied.
If it is not set, audited events will block until the low space
condition is remedied.
Unaudited events, however, are unaffected.
If
.Dv AUDIT_AHLT is set, a
.Xr panic 9
if it cannot write an event to the global audit log file.
If
.Dv AUDIT_ARGV
is set, then the argument list passed to the
.Xr execve 2
system call will be audited.  If
.Dv AUDIT_ARGE
is set, then the environment variables passed to the
.Xr execve 2
system call will be audited.  The default policy is none of the audit policy
control flags set.
.It Dv A_SETKAUDIT
Set the host information.
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt auditinfo_addr_t
structure containing the host IP address information.
After setting, audit records
that are created as a result of kernel events will contain
this information.
.It Dv A_SETKMASK
Set the kernel preselection masks (success and failure).
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt au_mask_t
structure containing the mask values as defined in
.In bsm/audit.h .
These masks are used for non-attributable audit event preselection.
The field
.Fa am_success
specifies which classes of successful audit events are to be logged to the
audit trail. The field
.Fa am_failure
specifies which classes of failed audit events are to be logged. The value of
both fields is the bitwise OR'ing of the audit event classes specified in
.Fa bsm/audit.h .
The various audit classes are described more fully in
.Xr audit_class 5 .
.It Dv A_SETQCTRL
Set kernel audit queue parameters.
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt au_qctrl_t
structure (defined in
.In bsm/audit.h )
containing the kernel audit queue control settings:
.Fa aq_hiwater ,
.Fa aq_lowater ,
.Fa aq_bufsz ,
.Fa aq_delay ,
and
.Fa aq_minfree .
The field
.Fa aq_hiwater
defines the maximum number of audit record entries in the queue used to store
the audit records ready for delivery to disk.
New records are inserted at the tail of the queue and removed from the head.
For new records which would exceed the
high water mark, the calling thread is inserted into the wait queue, waiting
for the audit queue to have enough space available as defined with the field
.Fa aq_lowater .
The field
.Fa aq_bufsz
defines the maximum length of the audit record that can be supplied with
.Xr audit 2 .
The field
.Fa aq_delay
is unused.
The field
.Fa aq_minfree
specifies the minimum amount of free blocks on the disk device used to store
audit records.
If the value of free blocks falls below the configured
minimum amount, the kernel informs the audit daemon about low disk space.
The value is to be specified in percent of free file system blocks.
A value of 0 results in a disabling of the check.
The default and maximum values (default/maximum) for the
audit queue control parameters are:
.Pp
.Bl -column aq_hiwater -offset indent -compact
.It aq_hiwater Ta 100/10000 (audit records)
.It aq_lowater Ta 10/aq_hiwater (audit records)
.It aq_bufsz Ta 32767/1048576 (bytes)
.It aq_delay Ta (Not currently used.)

.It Dv A_SETUMASK
Return
.Er ENOSYS .
(Not implemented.)
.It Dv A_SETSMASK
Return
.Er ENOSYS .
(Not implemented.)
.It Dv A_SETCOND
Set the current auditing condition.
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt int
value containing the new
audit condition, one of
.Dv AUC_AUDITING ,
.Dv AUC_NOAUDIT ,
or
.Dv AUC_DISABLED .
If
.Dv AUC_NOAUDIT
is set, then auditing is temporarily suspended. If
.Dv AUC_AUDITING
is set, auditing is resumed. If
.Dv AUC_DISABLED
is set, the auditing system will
shutdown, draining all audit records and closing out the audit trail file.
.It Dv A_SETCLASS
Set the event class preselection mask for an audit event.
The
.Fa data
argument
must point to a
.Vt au_evclass_map_t
structure containing the audit event and mask.
The field
.Fa ec_number
is the audit event and
.Fa ec_class
is the audit class mask. See
.Xr audit_event 5
for more information on audit event to class mapping.
.It Dv A_SETPMASK
Set the preselection masks for a process.
The
.Fa data
argument

(the audit ID),
.Fa ap_mask
(the preselection mask),
.Fa ap_termid
(the terminal ID), and
.Fa ap_asid
(the audit session ID)
of the given target process.
The process ID of the target process is passed

.Xr getaudit 2
for more information.
.It Dv A_GETPINFO_ADDR

structure can hold much a larger terminal address and an address type.
The process ID of the target process is passed into the kernel using the
.Fa ap_pid
field.
See the section
.Dv A_SETPMASK
above and
.Xr getaudit 2
for more information.
.It Dv A_GETSINFO_ADDR
