AUDIT_ADD_RULE_DATA(3) Linux Audit API AUDIT_ADD_RULE_DATA(3)
audit_add_rule_data - Add new audit rule
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_add_rule_data (int fd, struct audit_rule_data *rule, int
flags, int action);
audit_add_rule adds an audit rule previously constructed with
audit_rule_fieldpair_data(3) to one of several kernel event filters.
The filter is specified by the flags argument. Possible values for
flags are:
· AUDIT_FILTER_USER - Apply rule to userspace generated messages.
This is the user filter. Normally all user space originating
events are accepted. Rules on this filter are typically written to
block specific events.
· AUDIT_FILTER_TASK - Apply rule at task creation (not syscall).
This is the task filter. It's normally used to exclude an
application from being audited.
· AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT - Apply rule at syscall exit. This is the main
filter that is used for syscalls and filesystem watches. Normally
all syscall do not trigger events, so this is normally used to
specify events that are of interest.
· AUDIT_FILTER_TYPE - Apply rule at audit_log_start. This is the
exclude filter which discards any records that match.
The rule's action has two possible values:
· AUDIT_NEVER - Do not build context if rule matches.
· AUDIT_ALWAYS - Generate audit record if rule matches.
The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink
sequence id number. This function can have any error that sendto
would encounter.
