NAME

       audit_set_pid - Set audit daemon process ID

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_pid(int fd, uint32_t pid, rep_wait_t wmode);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_set_pid tells the kernel what the pid is of the audit daemon. When the pid is set to
       0, the kernel will log all events to syslog. Otherwise it will try to send events  to  the
       netlink  connection  that  has the same pid given by this function. If for some reason the
       process goes away, the kernel will automatically set the value to 0 itself.  Usually  this
       function  is called by the audit daemon and not an external program. If wmode is WAIT_YES,
       the function will wait for an ACK from the kernel.

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.
