AUDIT_OPEN(3)			Linux Audit API			 AUDIT_OPEN(3)

NAME
       audit_open - Open a audit netlink socket connection

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_open (void);

DESCRIPTION
       audit_open  creates  a  NETLINK_AUDIT socket for communication with the
       kernel part of the Linux Audit Subsystem. The audit system uses the ACK
       feature	of  netlink.  This means that every message to the kernel will
       return a netlink status packet even if the operation succeeds.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns -1 if an	 error	occurs;	 otherwise,  the  return  value	 is  a
       descriptor referencing the socket.

ERRORS
       The  audit_open() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors
       specified for the socket(2) and fcntl(2) routines.

SEE ALSO
       netlink(7).
