GET_AUDITFAIL_ACTION(3) Linux Programmer's ManualGET_AUDITFAIL_ACTION(3)
get_auditfail_action - Get failure_action tunable value
#include <libaudit.h>
int get_auditfail_action(auditfail_t *failmode);
This function gets the failure_action tunable value stored in
/etc/libaudit.conf. get_auditfail_action should be called after
an audit_open call returns an error to see what action the admin
prefers.
The failure_action value found in /etc/libaudit.conf is copied
into the failmode argument upon function return. This value
should then be used by the calling application to determine what
action should be taken when the audit subsystem is unavailable.
Upon success, get_auditfail_action returns a zero, and the
failmode argument will hold the failure_action value. The possi‐
ble values for failure_action are: FAIL_IGNORE (0), FAIL_LOG (1),
and FAIL_TERMINATE (2). Upon failure, get_auditfail_action re‐
turns a return code of one.
An error is returned if there is an error reading /etc/libau‐
dit.conf or if the failure_action tunable is not found in the
file.
/* Sample code */
auditfail_t failmode;
if ((fd = audit_open() ) < 0 ) {
fprintf (stderr, "Cannot open netlink audit socket");
/* Get the failure_action */
if ((rc = get_auditfail_action(&failmode)) == 0) {
if (failmode == FAIL_LOG)
fprintf (stderr, "Audit subsystem unavail‐
able");
else if (failmode == FAIL_TERMINATE)
exit (1);
/* If failmode == FAIL_IGNORE, do nothing */
}
}
