NAME
     auditctl - Configure system audit parameters


SYNOPSIS
     #include <bsm/audit.h>

     int
     auditctl(const char *path);


DESCRIPTION
     The auditctl() system call directs the kernel to open a new audit trail
     log file.  auditctl() requires appropriate privilege.  In the FreeBSD
     implementation, auditctl() opens new files, but auditon() is used to
     disable the audit log.  In the Mac OS X implementation, passing NULL to
     auditctl() will disable the audit log.


RETURN VALUES
     auditctl returns 0 on success, or returns -1 on failure, providing
     additional error information via errno.


SEE ALSO
     libbsm(3), auditd(8)
