.Dt AUDIT_SUBMIT 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm audit_submit
.Nd "general purpose audit record submission"
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libbsm
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In bsm/libbsm.h
.Ft int
.Fo audit_submit
.Fa "short au_event" "au_id_t auid" "char status"
.Fa "int reterr" "const char * restrict format" ...
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn audit_submit
function provides a generic programming interface for audit record submission.
This audit record will contain a header, subject token, an optional text token,
return token, and a trailer.
The header will contain the event class specified by
.Fa au_event .
The subject token will be generated based on
.Fa auid .
The return token is dependent on the
.Fa status
and
.Fa reterr
arguments; unlike the argument to
.Xr au_to_return ,
.Fa reterr
should be a local rather than BSM error number.
Optionally, a text token will be created as a part of this record.
.Pp
Text token output is under the control of a
.Fa format
string that specifies how subsequent arguments (or arguments accessed via the
variable-length argument facilities of
.Xr stdarg 3 )
are converted for output.
If
.Fa format
is
.Dv NULL ,
then no text token is created in the audit record.
.Pp
It should be noted that
.Fn audit_submit
assumes that
.Xr setaudit 2 ,
or
.Xr setaudit_addr 2
has already been called.
As a direct result, the terminal ID for the
subject will be retrieved from the kernel via
.Xr getaudit 2 ,
or
.Xr getaudit_addr 2 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful,
.Nm
will return zero.
Otherwise a -1 is returned and the global variable
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.

{
	struct auditinfo_addr aia;
	struct auditinfo ai;
	au_id_t aid;
	int error;

	error = getaudit_addr(&aia, sizeof(aia));
	if (error < 0 && errno == ENOSYS) {
		error = getaudit(&ai);
		if (error < 0)
			err(1, "getaudit");
		aid = ai.ai_auid;
	} else if (error < 0)
		err(1, "getaudit_addr");
	else
		aid = aia.ai_auid;
	error = audit_submit(AUE_su, aid, EPERM, 1,
	    "bad su from %s to %s", from_login, to_login);
	if (error != 0)
		err(1, "audit_submit");
}
