AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3) Linux Audit API AUDIT_SET_FAILURE(3)
audit_set_failure - Set audit failure flag
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_set_failure(int fd, int failure);
audit_set_failure sets the action that the kernel will perform when
the backlog limit is reached or when it encounters an error and
cannot proceed. Possible values are:
0 - AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT
Do nothing, report nothing, skip logging the record and
continue.
1 - AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK [default]
Log the audit record using printk which will cause subsequent
events to get written to syslog.
2 - AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC
Call the panic function. This would be used to prevent use of
the machine upon loss of audit events.
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.
audit_set_backlog(3), audit_open(3), auditd(8), auditctl(8).
