NAME
       setaudproc()  - controls process level auditing for the current process
       and its decendents

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       controls process level auditing for the current process and its	decen‐
       dents.	It  accomplishes  this	by setting or clearing the flag in the
       area of the calling process.  When this flag is set, the system	audits
       the process; when it is cleared, the process is not audited.  This call
       is restricted to users with the privilege.

       One of the following flags must be used for aflag:

	      Audit the calling process and its decendents.
	      Do not audit the calling process and its decendents.

       The flag is inherited by the descendents of a  process.	 consequently,
       the  effect  of	a  call	 to is not limited to the current process, but
       propagates to all its decendents as well.  For example,	if  is	called
       with  the  flag,	 all  subsequent  audited  system calls in the current
       process are audited until is called with the flag.

       Further, performs its action regardless of whether the  user  executing
       the process has been selected to be audited or not.  For example, if is
       called with the (or the flag, all subsequent audited system calls  will
       be  audited  (or not audited), regardless of whether the user executing
       the process has been selected for auditing or not.

       Due to these features, should not be used in most self-auditing	appli‐
       cations.	  should  be  used (see audswitch(2)) when the objective is to
       suspend auditing within a process without affecting its	decendents  or
       overriding the user selection aspect of the auditing system.

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

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