NAME

       audit_set_enabled - Enable or disable auditing

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_enabled(int fd, uint32_t enabled);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_set_enabled  is  used to control whether or not the audit system is active. When the
       audit system is enabled (enabled set to 1), every syscall  will  pass  through  the  audit
       system to collect information and potentially trigger an event.

       If the audit system is disabled (enabled set to 0), syscalls do not enter the audit system
       and no data is collected. There may be some events generated by  MAC  subsystems  like  SE
       Linux  even  though the audit system is disabled. It is possible to suppress those events,
       too, by adding an audit rule with flags set to AUDIT_FILTER_EXCLUDE

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence  id  number.  This
       function can have any error that sendto would encounter.
