AUDITCTL(2)                                BSD System Calls Manual                               AUDITCTL(2)

NAME
     auditctl -- configure system audit parameters

SYNOPSIS
     #include <bsm/audit.h>

     int
     auditctl(const char *path);

DESCRIPTION
     The auditctl() system call directs the kernel to open a new audit trail log file.  It requires an
     appropriate privilege.  The auditctl() system call opens new files, but auditon(2) is used to disable
     the audit log.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global
     variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The auditctl() system call will fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The path is invalid.

     [EPERM]            The process does not have sufficient permission to complete the operation.
