AUDITCTL(2)		  FreeBSD 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.  In the FreeBSD imple-
     mentation, auditctl() opens new files, but auditon(2) is used to disable
     the audit log.  In the Mac OS X implementation, passing NULL to
     auditctl() will 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.

HISTORY
     The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
     division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
     It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation
     for the OpenBSM distribution.
