NAME

       ausearch_add_timestamp_item_ex - build up search rule

SYNOPSIS

       #include <auparse.h>

       int  ausearch_add_timestamp_item_ex(auparse_state_t  *au,  const  char  *op,  time_t  sec,
       unsigned milli, unsigned serial, ausearch_rule_t how)

DESCRIPTION

       ausearch_add_timestamp_item adds an event time  condition  to  the  current  audit  search
       expression.  The  search  conditions  can then be used to scan logs, files, or buffers for
       something of interest. The op parameter specifies the desired comparison. Legal op  values
       are  <,  <=, >=, > and =.  The left operand of the comparison operator is the timestamp of
       the examined event, the  right  operand  is  specified  by  the  sec,  milli,  and  serial
       parameters.

       The  how  value  determines  how  this  search  condition  will affect the existing search
       expression if one is already defined. The possible values are:

              AUSEARCH_RULE_CLEAR
                     Clear the current search expression,  if  any,  and  use  only  this  search
                     condition.

              AUSEARCH_RULE_OR
                     If  a  search  expression  E  is  already  configured,  replace  it by (E ||
                     this_search_condition).

              AUSEARCH_RULE_AND
                     If a search expression  E  is  already  configured,  replace  it  by  (E  &&
                     this_search_condition).

RETURN VALUE

       Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.

APPLICATION USAGE

       Use ausearch_add_item(3) and ausearch_add_interpreted_item(3) to add conditions that check
       audit record fields.  Use ausearch_add_expression(3) to  add  complex  search  expressions
       using a single function call.
