NAME         top

       audit_set_backlog_limit - Set the audit backlog limit

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <libaudit.h>
       int audit_set_backlog_limit (int fd, int limit);

DESCRIPTION         top

       audit_set_backlog_limit sets the queue length for audit events
       awaiting transfer to the audit daemon. The default value is 64 which
       can potentially be overrun by bursts of activity. When the backlog
       limit is reached, the kernel consults the failure_flag to see what
       action to take.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
