NAME
       setaudid() - set the audit ID (aid) for the current process

SYNOPSIS
   Remarks
       This function is provided purely for backward compatibility.  HP recom‐
       mends that new applications use instead.	 See setauduser(3).

DESCRIPTION
       sets the audit ID (aid) in the audit tag for the current process.  This
       call is restricted to a user with the privilege.

   Security Restrictions
       Some or all of the actions associated with this system call require the
       privilege.  Processes owned by the superuser will have this  privilege.
       Processes  owned	 by  other users may have this privilege, depending on
       system configuration.  See privileges(5)	 for  more  information	 about
       privileged access on systems that support fine-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, returns a value of 0; otherwise, it returns
       −1 and sets to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       fails if any of the following conditions are encountered:

	      The caller is not a user with the
			     privilege.

	      The audit ID   (audid) is invalid.
